For too long, the current system has been unable to fully provide what is needed for this silent population. Access to, and support from, a team that understands that every person's journey is different and guidance that meets them where they are, in a manner that resonates, is what Ontrak is about. I am excited to contribute to helping the management team improve the patient experience and clinical outcomes in a meaningful and proven way.”
