The origins of Medens Health and how it has evolved.
Doctors Nicole Anders and Mindia Gabichvadze met during their doctoral program and quickly recognized each other as kindred spirits in mental health care. In 2007, Dr. Gabichvadze identified a lack of access to quality mental health services and settings for clients who could not afford private practice fees. After sharing his idea with Dr. Anders, they both realized how similar their experiences and concerns were.
The problem, they decided, was that the clinics who do serve the underinsured or uninsured offer therapy and medication management for a limited time. They also have long waiting lists, making mental health care difficult to access for underserved populations.
Anders and Gabichvadze wanted to serve those populations by offering them open-ended care for as long as they needed it. They also believed that everyone deserved to receive care with dignity in an inviting setting – regardless of their financial situation.
