Video: Why Integrating Behavioral and Primary Care Matters to Trustees
In a new AHA video, Greg Bentz, board chair of BJC HealthCare in Kansas City, Mo., shares the benefits of integrating behavioral and primary care. He discusses how integrated behavioral health should be a focus for hospital and health system boards and why treating the whole person is critical. Bentz also discusses the stigma associated with behavioral health and why it matters that patients can access the “one-stop shop” care they need. The AHA provides additional resources on integrating physical and behavioral health, including a white paper titled “Integrating Physical and Behavioral Health: The Time is Now.” WATCH NOW
