Rethinking mental healthcare misconceptions: A guide for system leaders
Monday, November 4th, 2024 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT
Healthcare's ongoing conversation about mental health is more critical than ever. Yet, many leaders continue to rely on outdated frameworks when discussing, thinking about, or treating mental healthcare within the acute-care health system.
For Elizabeth Wako, MD, president and CEO of Swedish Health Services, little about behavioral health is unfamiliar. Dr. Wako began working as a registered nurse caring for psychiatric patients, an experience that left her with a firsthand understanding of the needs, care gaps and judgments endured in the specialty.
Join her in conversation with Becker's Molly Gamble to discuss the ways in which mental health is still too often siloed and treated as secondary to physical health. Learn effective ways as leaders to discuss mental healthcare in tandem with medical care. Hear strategies, action items and priorities that Dr. Wako has put forth at Swedish to reshape mental healthcare delivery and embed it in primary care.
