Self-Funded With Spencer

Closing the Mental Health Gap (with Megan Rozanski)


Listen Later

“I think we're now at a point where we as a society are recognizing we can't wait until it gets bad enough. And how do we get people into care sooner?" - Megan Rozanski


I wanted to close out January with a focus on mental health and how to continue breaking down the stigma surrounding it, and Megan Rozanski was gracious enough to join me in the studio to do just that. 



Expanding access to and improving the delivery of healthcare have been two key values of the podcast since the beginning, and those objectives are no less important in the mental health sphere. 



How did COVID impact the future of mental health care? What pushed Megan to leave her corporate career and take on the uncertainties and challenges of founding a startup in the industry? And what can we do to improve access to care? 



Join us to learn the answers to all of those questions and more, this week on the Self Funded podcast!
