Palomar Health president and CEO Diane Hansen said: “To achieve the extraordinary in healthcare, the entire organisation constantly seeks better ways to improve every part of the patient experience and to always provide the highest quality of care.
“This partnership helps us reimagine behavioral health and offer support to so many people who need it, which is very important to us and our community.”
