Nest Health

We continue to see behavioral health utilization increasing — this report shows a staggering 40% increase in 2023 compared to 2019, with signs of rate acceleration. Yet, primary care utilization is lower than it was pre-pandemic. These opposing trends should concern all healthcare leaders, policymakers, innovators, and investors. ❗ Physical health cannot be separated from mental health — the two are inextricably linked. Solutions must address whole people, physical and mental, to be effective. ❗12% of ED visits are for mental health reasons — and these visits are incredibly costly and ineffective for long-term health and stability. ❗Half of Americans have had or know someone who who has had to drive more than an hour to seek treatment (and that's after months-long waitlists...) As the only value-based care provider actually built for families, Nest Health is: ✨ Providing at-home and virtual medical, mental, nutritional, and social care ✨ Connecting families to a Nest licensed mental health clinician (with a <1 day wait) ✨ Breaking down massive barriers keeping families from care like cost, transportation, and language ✨ Improving health outcomes and reducing unnecessary emergency room utilization https://lnkd.in/guCd7by2

It's #ChildHealthDay today. At Nest, we deeply believe that supporting health at the earliest stages in life is the key to building healthier future generations. It is unacceptable that so many children in our country are not receiving the care they need to thrive. Care that includes parents and caregivers every step of the way. Fundamental medical care like well visits, but also mental health check-ins to address the whole person. Care designed for the whole family as a unit. Care with no barriers making it easy for families to stay healthy. Care that addresses generational health. This is what every child deserves. This is what we're building at Nest. ✨

We're so grateful for the early support and partnership of 8VC.

This morning during our New Orleans weekly clinical team meeting, Round Robin, we took a few moments to recognize Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month. Louisiana, Nest's home base and first market, unfortunately leads the nation in the worst maternity and infant health outcomes. We know that so many of these losses are preventable with better quality care. As our Louisiana General Manager Bernadette Vincent shared, "this is the kind of leader we don't want to be." For this #InfancyandPregnancyLossAwarenessMonth, we're sharing a few words of guidance from our very own mental health specialist, Patrice Hammond, LCSW. "Infancy and pregnancy loss in an incredibly painful and overwhelming journey. Allow yourself to grieve. Feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, and numbness are all natural responses. Seek emotional support. Consider talking to a therapist or joining an online support group. Explore ways to memorialize your child. This can be done through a personal ritual, creating memory box, or participating in a remembrance event. Know that healing takes time. Be patient with yourself as there is no set time for when you "should" feel better." Our hearts and thoughts are with those who are suffering from this loss.

Being able to text our patients is a critical piece of our model that we committed to early on. We knew it would be important to help with scheduling, clinical care, etc, but it's messages like this that make it especially fun! 💙💙

Nothing beats a happy patient. Shout out to our New Orleans team who makes our patients feel comfortable and heard every day in every interaction. P.S., we agree: Doctor Brown is the best.
