One year ago, Author Health announced our mission to transform health care for people living with serious mental illness (SMI), substance use disorders (SUD), and dementia. Thanks to the dedication of our team and the support of our partner primary care organizations, we've quickly expanded our reach beyond our initial launch and now serve Medicare Advantage patients across Florida and Texas. I'm so incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in just one year, and there's also more work to be done. Approximately one in four Medicare recipients have a mental illness, and 40% of people in the U.S. over age 50 with serious mental illness report a lack of access to care. Author Health was born from an urgent need to address this gap and fundamentally shift how our health care system prioritizes behavioral health and preventive services. Our person-centered approach and team-based model is successfully addressing the needs of this patient population and making a significant impact on their lives. As we embark on this next chapter, our team is energized and committed to continue increasing access to high-quality mental healthcare for older adults and other vulnerable populations, and improving their health outcomes. Congratulations to the entire Author Health team on this milestone anniversary and an amazing year changing thousands of lives! #behavioralhealth #mentalhealth #valuebasedcare #vbc
