“It all comes down to what kind of care they’re providing. If these firms are expanding to increase access for people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to receive behavioral health treatment, that could be positive.” #BehavioralHealth #OHSUResearch Jane Zhu news.ohsu.edu/2024/05/01/stu…

Jane Zhu Ethan Sanford What your friend is living, painful as it is, is love, and love can be excruciating. Accepting the grief experience as part of love requires talking about it in real terms, not as pathology. The truth about grief as love: loss gets integrated, not overcome.

Public behavioral health providers and organizations are negatively affected by systemic underinvestment and inadequate workplace support. Jane Zhu, @kjohnmcconnell bit.ly/3PPxWjk

State-based penetration rates varied widely, as we've seen in other fields. But look at the activity in some of these states!

(We also don't include autism and eating disorder facilities, and they've been important targets for PE)

As we described in our NEJM piece w/ Jane Zhu, states have long had bans on the corporate practice of medicine (CPOM), recognizing the inherent tension between physicians’ ethical duties to patients and corporations’ pursuit of profits.
