UPCOMING MEETING:
September 1, 2021
Opening Discussion Topic:
COVID’s Shadow Pandemic
In the past year, it’s been a rare day without a major article, video, or conversation, that hasn’t included news about the toll COVID’s taken on America’s mental health. Fortunately, as reported at HIMSS, accelerated telebehavioral health visits have given civilian and military families alike “better access to care.”
Yet, going way beyond anxiety and depression, today’s fifth edition of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) lists nearly 300 distinct diagnoses. Today, for the better brain health of millions – especially with Parity, the healthcare insurance industry uses the DSM as the “standard” to determine which treatments merit reimbursement.
After we’ve heard “What’s Up?” in your healthcare world, we’d also like to hear how your organization has responded to the uptick in demand for behavioral health services and therapies.
Then, we’ll hear from our Featured Member, Mark Heinemeyer, CEO of PRODEO LLC and co-founder of PRODEO Institute. Mark will share his experience over the past 20 years advancing emerging technologies and therapeutics in various areas of brain health into the marketplace, and developing new approaches to brain-based investing, economics, and policy.

"ABL can really be life changing, thank you for making it possible. I can’t believe how much I learn from all of you. Mimi should hand out diplomas!"
"The draw for me is the ability to connect with people who are grappling with the challenges that we face in healthcare and an opportunity to bring your problems to a knowledgeable group of people and get good advice and counsel."
"ABL meetings cause me to both learn and think about issues that are not necessarily in my lane. The contacts and opportunities that have come from our first year at ABL have been worth many times the dues."
"I find the cross-discussion between health care sectors to be most valuable!"
"ABL is an environment that always provides great (and current) information and makes me think. A welcoming group of very smart, committed and terrific people."
"ABL is a wealth of information, knowledge, and camaraderie. You really get to trust the other Members, and you become more than business associates that meet once a month – you become friends."
"I find the insight and input I receive from fellow ABL Members to be extremely valuable."
