More about Author Health
Their care model is community-based and delivers wrap-around outpatient mental health services encompassing psychiatric, psychotherapeutic, and care management services. They partner with primary care providers, hospitals, families, and caregivers to keep patients out of the hospital and support healthier, more connected lives. The organization positions itself as an innovator seeking to revolutionize mental health care delivery. For nurses, the primary role identified is Care Manager (RN), which involves working within an interdisciplinary, virtual-first care framework that emphasizes holistic, person-centered treatment rather than symptom management alone.
Author Health's mission is to bring compassionate, high-quality care to people with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, and dementia, including older adults. They emphasize treating people 'fully, holistically, and with heart.' Inclusivity is described as central to how they build trust and drive better outcomes, honoring the unique cultures, identities, and stories that shape every patient's experience. They value community-based, wrap-around care that empowers patients and keeps them out of the hospital.
