Description

In the 12th episode of “Listen, Mental Health Matters,” Brian Giebink, HDR’s behavioral and mental health practice lead, travels to Phoenix, Arizona, with guest host Tara Brown, HDR health principal, to explore Valleywise Health’s pivotal role as Maricopa County’s safety net for behavioral health care. Valleywise Senior Vice President of Behavioral Health Services Gene Cavallo shares his personal journey from direct care to leadership, and how Valleywise has grown from a single facility to more than 400 beds while championing integrated care. Discover the hospital’s rich legacy — from its roots in the early 1900s to leading initiatives like first-episode psychosis programs and one of the nation’s largest psychiatry residency programs. Learn how Valleywise is addressing stigma, expanding access and shaping the future of behavioral health across Arizona.
