Head of Clinical Operations

About Colla Health We help people with severe physical health conditions improve their quality of life. Today, we provide behavioral healthcare to the 17 million cancer patients in the US as an extension of their medical treatment. One out of every three cancer patients has a diagnosed mental health condition but only 25% of them receive treatment for their mental health challenges, exacerbating quality of life, worsening health outcomes, and increasing their total cost of care to the system. We are on a mission to provide relevant, accessible behavioral health at the point of care that is embedded within a patient’s oncology practice. We are backed by a premier venture capital firm and are building a world-class team of clinicians, technologists, and healthcare operations builders passionate about helping cancer patients improve their quality of life. We are building a behavioral health services and technology company to support patients' mental health alongside their physical health treatment plans. Our first offering will deploy virtual mental health services using Collaborative Care, an evidence-based behavioral health care model. We will scale this virtual care model using technology, and build the foundations to drive outcomes focused on value-based care.
