Last week, I outlined our current areas of interest in healthcare: patient networks, digital therapeutics, patient care management, new diagnostics, and disrupting health insurance.
At the same time, one of my closest friends, Josh Nussbaum, introduced his new company, Halcyon Health, to the world. I encourage everyone to read Josh’s own words about Halcyon and the need to bring cost-effective care of the highest quality to millions of people suffering from SUD (substance use disorder). His announcement is eloquent, compelling, and deeply personal.
Today, we are excited to announce our investment in Halcyon Health. Drug overdose is the leading cause of death in America for people under the age of 50. And it’s clear that the current care delivery system for substance use doesn’t work for everyone. Here are some of the problems:
Enter Halcyon Health: an integrated, evidence-based SUD treatment program focused on long-term care. Halcyon begins in environments where the highest acuity patients are often found and offers a full continuum of care, leveraging fully integrated care teams empowered by technology.
Here’s a brief overview of how it works:
There is a big opportunity and need to transform addiction treatment. We couldn’t imagine a better entrepreneur to tackle this problem than Josh (seriously, read his blog post). And, co-founder Andrew Bryk complements Josh perfectly, bringing a wealth of experience in patient care management with his tenure at Quartet.
If you’re interested in learning more and following Halcyon’s mission to overcome today’s roadblocks to recovery with managed personalized care, please visit their website and/or follow them on Twitter.
