NextGen Healthcare Partners with Prominent Psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz to Shine Light on Mental Health Support

#NextGenMind Campaign Supports Mental Health Awareness to Pave Path to Whole-Person Health, Starting with a Live Open-to-the-Public Q&A Session

NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXGN), a leading provider of ambulatory-focused technology solutions, announced that it is partnering again with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz on the #NextGenMind campaign to remind the public of how important it is to prioritize mental health and whole-person care while also directing those in need to resources that can help. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five Americans lives with a mental health condition. Further, the need for mental health support at younger ages is unprecedented; the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) recently declared a national state of emergency in child and adolescent mental health as a result of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am proud to partner with NextGen Healthcare again to highlight information about the connection between mental and physical health as an integral part of whole-person care. We know that mental health is suffering for so many right now, and it needs to be addressed systemically within the healthcare industry,” said Dr. Saltz. “At a time when so many people of all ages are facing stress and anxiety, which can be compounded by the approaching holiday season, NextGen Healthcare is not only providing consumers with connections to resources, but they are empowering the healthcare community with an integrated electronic medical record platform that enables whole person care.”

The campaign launches today with a satellite media tour featuring Dr. Saltz and a free, open-to-the-public Live Q&A Event between Dr. Saltz and Dr. Betty Rabinowitz, NextGen Healthcare’s chief medical officer. Tune in to the event at 1 p.m. EST on Nextgen’s Facebook or LinkedIn page for a discussion about mental health resources and the relationship between mental and physical health. A replay will also be available.

“Mental and physical health are deeply connected; we must address them both in an integrated way when seeking to improve well-being,” said Dr. Rabinowitz. “The pandemic amplified the need for innovative ways of connecting providers with patients. With NextGen Healthcare’s position at the intersection of technology and care, we enable providers to offer integrated, whole-person care models.”
