Many of David Cohn’s life choices have been dramatic about-faces, such as when he moved to Guatemala from the U.S. to join the Peace Corps after college, or when he later left the nongovernmental-organization world to take a job at a global management consultancy, Corporate Executive Board.

Only recently has Cohn figured out how to marry his sense of purpose and pragmatism, founding telepsychiatry company Regroup in 2011. Regroup uses videoconferencing to bring counseling services to communities where counselors are scarce.

Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti toured The Josselyn Center on Friday, May 18th, as part of her new state task force to develop a comprehensive tele-medicine strategy for the Medicaid program to help improve access to healthcare.  The Josselyn Center's tele-psychiatry program helps bridge the gap to this scarce resource.

Regroup, a leading virtual behavioral healthcare organization, recently closed a $5.5 million growth round of funding. Frist Cressey Ventures, Further Fund, HBS Angels of Chicago, HLM Venture Partners, Hyde Park Angels,  OCA Ventures, and OSF Ventures, all among the group of Series A major investors, contributed to the round. "Our investors are investing in us, our mission and the great progress we've made in these last months. Their support allows us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of patients across the country who otherwise may not be able to access these badly needed behavioral health services," said David Cohn, Founder and CEO of Regroup.

Illinois Psychiatric Society Represents over 1000 Psychiatrists

Dr. Hossam Mahmoud, Medical Director at Regroup, was presented with the prestigious 2018 Member of the Year Award by the Illinois Psychiatric Society at its Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on January 27th at the University Club of Chicago. The Illinois Psychiatric Society (IPS), founded in 1938, is the state branch of the American Psychiatric Association. Representing over 1000 Illinois psychiatrists, the mission of IPS is to advocate for the highest quality care for patients with psychiatric and substance use disorders.

Textbook economics teaches that, in a free market, supply rises to meet demand until price reaches an equilibrium. When it comes to mental health services, though, the supply of psychiatrists is declining despite widespread need, resulting in patients not getting treatment in a timely manner.

In the first three quarters of 2017, four of the Midwest’s five largest deals involved healthcare tech companies. Together, these four deals brought in $870M in investment and amounted to a collective valuation of $7.1B.

"The winners each year are innovations that uniquely fill unmet needs, spark a competitive response in the marketplace, exceed market expectations, achieve financial success, and improve people’s lives."
