Improving Access to Therapy and Chasing Mission with Kyle Talcott (UpLift)
Episode description
In this episode, Gil and Jess are joined by Kyle Talcott, Founder and CEO of UpLift, to talk about his journey to rebuild mental healthcare by building UpLift. They cover a ton of ground, including collaboration between therapy and psychiatry when solving the access problem, the importance of triage and referrals, and how best to leverage partnerships. They also get real about some of the biggest challenges in behavioral health - particularly when it comes to reimbursement and regulation. And finally, a really thought-provoking exploration of the tradeoff between mission and business as a startup in this space. Hint: patient care must always come first.
