Turlock, Calif.-based Legacy Health Endowment and New York City-based Lavender Psychiatry launched a partnership to provide complimentary online mental healthcare for school district staff and their immediate family members across 19 zip codes in California’s Central Valley. 

The program offers access to psychiatric nurse practitioners for therapy, medication management, or both, delivered virtually to accommodate the schedules of school personnel, according to a Nov. 4 news release. It is available at no cost to eligible participants. 

Lavender Psychiatry is a nurse-led telehealth provider, and Legacy Health Endowment is a nonprofit created by Tenet’s acquisition of Emanuel Medical Center focused on improving access to care in Stanislaus and Merced counties.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
