12:00 PM CT Hospital and health system leaders are confronting a growing behavioral health crisis—one that’s overwhelming emergency departments and exposing the limitations of fragmented care. To address these challenges, many organizations are adopting systemwide strategies that integrate behavioral health across care settings. This webinar will explore how health systems are implementing integrated virtual behavioral health models across emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and home environments. These approaches are helping organizations improve care continuity, reduce strain on clinical teams, improve patient outcomes, and better manage rising demand. **Learning Objectives:**   - Explore how virtual psychiatry reduces ED length of stay and supports faster, safer discharges - Learn how to build a scalable, systemwide behavioral health strategy that spans all care settings and acuity levels - Examine how leading health systems are improving patient flow, reducing bottlenecks, and strengthening continuity of care ## **Presenters:** ![Shannon Werb Purple Headshot Circle 2 - Sydney Mason](https://go.beckershospitalreview.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shannon%20Werb%20Purple%20Headshot%20Circle%202%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png?width=120&height=120&name=Shannon%20Werb%20Purple%20Headshot%20Circle%202%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png) ### Shannon Werb ##### Chief Executive Officer, Array Behavioral Care ![Sara Gotheridge Blue Headshot Circle - Sydney Mason](https://go.beckershospitalreview.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sara%20Gotheridge%20Blue%20Headshot%20Circle%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png?width=120&height=120&name=Sara%20Gotheridge%20Blue%20Headshot%20Circle%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png) ### Sara Gotheridge, MD ##### Chief Medical Officer, Array Behavioral Care ![Scott Baker Green Headshot Circle 2 - Sydney Mason](https://go.beckershospitalreview.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Scott%20Baker%20Green%20Headshot%20Circle%202%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png?width=120&height=120&name=Scott%20Baker%20Green%20Headshot%20Circle%202%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png) ### Scott Baker ##### Vice President of Growth, Array Behavioral Care ![Jen Comerford Green Headshot Circle 1 - Sydney Mason](https://go.beckershospitalreview.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Jen%20Comerford%20Green%20Headshot%20Circle%201%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png?width=120&height=120&name=Jen%20Comerford%20Green%20Headshot%20Circle%201%20-%20Sydney%20Mason.png) ### Jennifer Comerford, LCSW ##### Vice President of Product Strategy, Array Behavioral Care [![Becker's Behavioral Health](https://www.beckersbehavioralhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/02/logo-behavioral.png)](https://www.beckersbehavioralhealth.com/) ### Contact Us [1-800-417-2035](tel:180041720354) [becker@beckershealthcare.com](mailto:becker@beckershealthcare.com) - - - - ### Other Becker’s Sites - [Hospital](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/) - [ASC](https://www.beckersasc.com/) - [Spine](https://www.beckersspine.com/) - [Dental](https://www.beckersdental.com/) - [Payer](https://www.beckerspayer.com/) - [Physician](https://www.beckersphysicianleadership.com/) ### More Resources - [Events](https://conferences.beckershospitalreview.com/upcoming-events/) - [Whitepapers](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/whitepapers/) - [Live Webinars](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/webinar-types/upcoming-webinars/) - [OnDemand Webinars](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/webinar-types/ondemand-webinars/) Copyright © 2026 Becker’s Healthcare.
