Physical & Behavioral Health Integration

Initium has  worked in multiple states in behavioral health and has developed a playbook of strategies on behavioral health, inclusive of outpatient, inpatient and community based services. This experience ranges from managing large acute care based psychiatric units to developing system strategies for integrating physical, behavioral, and dental health. Across the country, innovative partnerships and joint ventures are emerging  to expand behavioral health services, from private philanthropy, to large foundations and for-profits. For instance, REITs are buying more behavioral health hospitals while health systems are entering joint ventures to create new behavioral health hospitals. At the same time, large foundations are offering low interest and forgivable loans to support expanding behavioral health services.
