Tackling The Crisis In Behavioral Health Access And Placement With Kenneth (K.C.) Johnson

Every health system leader has unprecedented executive management challenges facing their organization in the wake of the pandemic. Some of those challenges, particularly in behavioral health, are access, throughput, and placement.

Bringing to the show over 20 years of experience in healthcare operations and management to discuss the crisis we are talking with Kenneth (K.C.) Johnson, who is an accomplished business executive and entrepreneur with a proven track record of success in the healthcare industry.
