Dr. Henry Chung, Senior Medical Director of Behavioral Health Integration Strategy at Montefiore Care Management Organization and Professor of Psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, joins Dr. Mena Mirhom to discuss how far integrated behavioral health care has come — and how far it still has to go. As a pioneer of collaborative care and a psychiatrist who has followed a somewhat nontraditional career path, Dr. Chung has spent decades advocating for community-based services, early identification and treatment for underserved populations and realistic support for primary care providers. Dr. Chung and Dr. Mirhom talk about the paradigm shift toward a public health approach to behavioral health care, and Dr. Chung shares his ideas for how to make collaborative care easier for medical practices.
