Spencer Hutchins of Concert Health on Integrated Behavioral Health, Tech-Enabled Services, and Scaling within Healthcare Systems
Last week I interviewed Spencer Hutchins founder and CEO of Concert Health. Spencer is one of the most well-versed healthcare executives that I know. I met Spencer when he was in his pre-seed stage but missed his Seed and A because I was transitioning out of my last firm Canal Partners. Oof. If you are interested in disruptive healthcare models then this is a must listen! You can watch/listen to the podcast on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify.
Spencer Hutchins is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Concert Health, America’s leading behavioral health medical group with a turnkey solution designed for primary care and women’s health physicians. Through Collaborative Care, an evidence-based model for treating depression and anxiety in primary care settings, Concert makes it easy for primary care and women’s health physicians to deliver high-quality behavioral health care and improve clinical outcomes. Concert’s turnkey behavioral health services, which include an expert clinical team and a powerful technology platform, are available through partnerships with medical groups and health systems.
Prior to Concert, Spencer co-founded Reflexion Health, where he served as CEO for three years. During his time there, Reflexion achieved FDA clearance for Vera, a tele-rehab product used by some of the most progressive orthopedic and rehab programs in the United States. Before Reflexion, Spencer served as Senior Director at West Health, where he helped source and support investments in innovative companies such as Humedica, Change Healthcare, and goBalto. Spencer has also served as a member of the founding healthcare team at the Federal Communications Commission during the Obama administration and a consultant at Booz & Company.
Spencer received an MBA from Yale School of Management and BA from Colby College. When not building health businesses, he’s a loving and fully-whelmed husband and father of 2 growing children.
