Due to some technical difficulties, the Mental Health Evolution podcast is on a short break this week. But here’s a sneak peek of the episode we’re excited to bring you next week.

Rachel talks to Dr. Jane Zhu, physician and health services researcher at OHSU, about how private equity is changing mental health care. They dig into how these financial forces affect clinics, clinician autonomy, and patient access.

Dr. Zhu shares, “Private equity can introduce both risks and opportunities in mental health care. It may bring capital for expansion and infrastructure, but it can also create financial pressures that affect quality, access, and clinician autonomy. The impact really depends on the playbook each investor brings.”

Next week, hear the full conversation and the data behind these trends.
