The Asclepian Group

?? Exciting News from Asclepian! ?? Asclepian is thrilled to announce a pioneering strategic partnership with Tend Health, an innovative provider of mental healthcare services for the most critical resource of the American healthcare system: healthcare professionals. The lived experience for many American healthcare professionals is a heavy one, filled with tremendous personal responsibility and uncertainty. Although discussions of burnout have become increasingly mainstream, they often disguise the true gravity of the mental health crisis facing our clinicians. Some surveys show that 49% of healthcare workers report symptoms consistent with workplace trauma, with anxiety and depression rates over 3.6x that of non-healthcare professionals; other studies suggest that physicians have the highest suicide rate of any profession, at over 2x the rate of the general population. Coupled with longstanding cultural stigmas and credentialing-discoverability concerns, clinicians are often dissuaded from seeking the care they so desperately need, to the detriment of all who depend on the healthcare system. Tend Health is on a mission to change this harrowing reality. With a comprehensive and growing suite of telepsychology, telepsychiatry, and wellness services - and an innovative service model built on complete confidentiality - Tend offers convenient, connected care that is tailored to the clinician experience:?by healthcare professionals, for healthcare professionals. Asclepian is thrilled to be working alongside Tend's visionary co-founders, Christine (Tina) Runyan, PhD, ABPP and Joan Fleishman, PsyD, to address this gap in the standard of care for American clinicians. Many thanks to all advisors and friends of Asclepian and Tend who have supported this significant milestone, especially: Kent Weaver and Granite Point Partners; Anthony Walker and Next Coast ETA; Will Thorndike; DJ Hill; Mark F. Donovan; Ashford Venture Partners; TTCER Partners; The Nashton Company; Hunter Search Capital; Blake Winchell; Tom Cassutt and David Lazier; Sam Hyde and Steuart Botchford; Harold Mottet; and Lani Fritts.

Here's to Tend Health's next chapter, and to a brighter, healthier future for the healthcare community! #healthcare #healthcareprofessionals #mentalhealth #partnership www.tend.health
