Building Sustainable, Whole-Person Care Through Integrated Telepsychiatry with Dr. Tom Milam – Episode 481

Behavioral Health Today

About

Technology isn't replacing human connection; it's scaling it, bridging rural gaps, and dismantling the stigma surrounding behavioral health. On this episode of Behavioral Health Today, host Sharlee Dixon welcomes Dr. Tom Milam. Tom is a seasoned psychiatrist with nearly thirty years of experience who serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Iris Telehealth. Iris Telehealth is a leading provider that partners with hospitals, community clinics, and health systems nationwide to deliver quality, seamlessly integrated virtual behavioral health programs. In his role as CMO, Dr. Milam, who earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia and completed his residency at Duke, leads a massive group of clinicians providing evidence-based care across forty-five states. He dedicated much of his career to academic medicine and pioneering grant-funded telemedicine programs, and today he’s here to help us understand how Iris is helping organizations bridge the gap between financial sustainability and exceptional mental health access. I am excited to have Tom with me today to explore his journey into telemedicine and discuss how Iris Telehealth bridges the gap for healthcare leaders by transforming behavioral health from an underfunded systemic bottleneck into a clinically integrated, financially sustainable virtual care model.
