Overview

Behavioral health has gained national attention, and there has been increasing pressure on behavioral health providers, hospitals, health systems and health plans to effectively tackle this complex issue. In order to improve treatment, outcomes and cut costs, behavioral health providers and health plans are taking proactive steps to ensure that their members receive access to quality behavioral healthcare. Treatment for disorders such as anxiety and depression, amongst children and seniors, as well as those with substance abuse issues, require a more integrated coordination of care. The current healthcare landscape has created an opportunity for coverage and access to services, many behavioral health providers and health plans are now focusing their efforts on integrating behavioral and medical care.

We have created a high-level forum featuring knowledgeable leaders and executives from hospitals, health systems and health plans who will share their perspectives, valuable insights and expertise on how to be best equipped for the rapidly evolving landscape of behavioral health management. Attendees will benefit from learning about best practices and strategies that have been deployed to address the challenges presented by the current healthcare environment impacting hospitals, health systems and health plans in effectively managing behavioral health. This exclusive event targets senior level executives in order to maximize educational and networking opportunities.

By attending the 2025 Behavioral Health Management Conference, you will learn what others in the Behavioral Health management arena are doing to succeed in transforming the nation’s healthcare and its population.
