1:00 PM CT Discover how Banner Health and evolvedMD, a leader in integrated healthcare, are redefining patient care through an innovative, fully integrated behavioral health model. With a unique onsite, in-person approach, supported by data and proven results, the collaboration not only enhances patient well-being but also lowers total cost of care—demonstrating why integrated care is the future of healthcare.

Vice President, Chief Medical Officer Banner Health Plans and Networks, Dr. Ed Clarke, Physician Executive with Banner Medical Group, Dr. David Valenzuela, and Chief Executive Officer at evolvedMD, Erik Osland, will discuss how embedding mental health services directly into primary care settings improves access, reduces stigma, delivers measurable outcomes and reduces provider burden. ## **Presenters:** ![Screenshot 2025-08-08 090331 - Somer Sinnard](https://go.beckershospitalreview.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-08%20090331%20-%20Somer%20Sinnard.png?width=120&height=120&name=Screenshot%202025-08-08%20090331%20-%20Somer%20Sinnard.png) ### David Valenzuela, MD ##### Physician Executive, AZ Banner Medical Group (BMG), Primary Care and Pediatrics ![Erik Osland](https://go.beckershospitalreview.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Erik%20Osland.png?width=120&height=120&name=Erik%20Osland.png) ### Erik Osland ##### Chief Executive Officer, evolvedMD ![Clarke](https://go.beckershospitalreview.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clarke.jpg?width=120&height=120&name=Clarke.jpg) ### Ed Clarke, MD ##### Vice President, Chief Medical Officer Banner Health Plans and Networks [![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.
