WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For the past 15 years, Give an Hour has provided no-cost mental health services to our nation's most honored heroes: military service members, veterans, and their loved ones.
MediOrbis, a multi-specialty telehealth company, has announced its interest in contributing to the work of Give an Hour. MediOrbis plans to donate access to its innovative telehealth platform to a number of Give an Hour's volunteer licensed mental health providers, in order to increase their capability to provide remote mental health services where appropriate. Give an Hour and MediOrbis staff are working to stand up this new program in honor of Veterans Day and those who have served.
"Serving those who serve has been the core mission of Give an Hour. We are grateful to MediOrbis for providing the technology platform to our volunteer mental health providers to allow greater access to mental health care to U.S. service members, veterans, and their families," said Randy Phelps, PhD, CEO Give an Hour.
"As a company with a significant number of veterans on our staff," said MediOrbis Founder and CMO Dr. Jonathan Wiesen, "we committed to providing services to better the lives of those who have been willing to perform the ultimate sacrifice for our country. In our discussions with Give an Hour, it became apparent that access to care was still a major obstacle for veterans to receive the behavioral and mental health services that they so badly need. It was a no-brainer for us to therefore supply the clinicians from Give an Hour with our technology platform to enable them to help Veterans in need!"
