Pioneering Behavioral Health: Insights from UHS VP Nicki Tessler

One of the questions I wanted to ask you about around innovation is this concept, that there's this balance in innovation, around behavioral health, because you have to move fast and break things. So you have to balance it with effectiveness and science.
Ever wondered how innovation can reshape the landscape of behavioral health? In this episode of the Stigma Podcast, Stephen Hays sits down with Nicki Tessler, the Divisional Vice President for Behavioral Health at Universal Health Services (UHS). With over two decades of experience, Nicki brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective on driving change in this critical field.
She discusses the groundbreaking work being done at UHS’s 'Innovation Hub', which aims to foster entrepreneurship and accelerate growth in behavioral health services. From her academic achievements to her hands-on experience in multiple healthcare settings, Nicki’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. The conversation touches on the delicate balance between innovation and effectiveness, and the unique opportunities available for entrepreneurs in areas like behavioral health configuration, access, and patient experiences.
If you're passionate about mental health or seeking new ways to make a difference, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable ideas. Tune in to hear how UHS is leading the charge in behavioral health innovation and why seeking help for addiction and mental illness is more important than ever.
