Guest: Georgia Gaveras, DO, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Talkiatry

Mental healthcare today is fragmented and often feels out of reach for patients entirely. Many people with anxiety, depression, or other conditions never receive support, while those who do may land with a PCP, a therapist, or in the ER, with no one coordinating care or staying with them as their needs change. Georgia Gaveras, DO, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Talkiatry, joins the podcast to discuss why psychiatry should sit at the center of the system, as one of the first stops in a patient's mental health journey and a constant presence throughout, not an afterthought reserved for the most severe cases.

Healthcare delivery has been reshaped by years of consolidation, yet many organizations still struggle to keep the patient at the center of an increasingly complex system. Dr. Khuram Ghumman, Associate Dean for Strategic Partnerships at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine, past president of the Connecticut State Medical Society, and practicing family physician, joins Dr. Brian McDonough to discuss where documentation and coding burdens pull clinicians away from care, why leadership is strongest when it stays connected to the exam room, and how AI and technology can augment physicians rather than replace their judgment. From rethinking how primary care is funded to designing delivery systems through the patient's lens, this conversation offers timely insights for executives navigating transformation across healthcare delivery.
