Array Behavioral Care Bolsters Executive Team to Address Soaring Mental Health Needs Through Improved Access, Quality of Care

New Talent will Accelerate the Nation’s Leading Virtual Psychiatry and Therapy Provider in Growing and Diversifying its Services, Technology, and Operations Across Care Continuum

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Array Behavioral Care, the nation’s leading clinician-centric virtual psychiatry and therapy practice, announced three executive leadership hires: Shannon Werb, Chief Executive Officer; Sara Gotheridge, MD, Chief Medical Officer; and Ben Schlang, Chief Financial Officer. These new leaders will support the execution of broader company-wide initiatives and investments across technology, operations, and teams to expand the breadth and depth of Array’s telebehavioral services across the care continuum.

“It’s an honor to lead an industry innovator and build on our legacy as a great place for clinicians to practice care and for patients to receive care.”

Demand for mental health care remains high in acute care and community outpatient settings, where capacity is significantly constrained. Less than one-third of all mental health needs are being met nationwide, according to research conducted by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Virtual psychiatry and therapy enable more patients to receive care directly from clinicians across all settings. Array pioneered this industry, with Array Co-founder Dr. Jim Varrell performing one of the industry’s first telepsychiatry encounters in 1999. Today more than 90 million Americans in all 50 states can access Array’s timely, quality behavioral health care services in hospitals, community clinics, primary care offices, and at home. Array has delivered nearly four million virtual encounters to date.

“At Array, we speak about our ability to diversify and scale effectively, not only as strategic and operational business imperatives, but importantly, as a fundamental responsibility in fulfilling commitments to our customers and the patients we serve—we’re mission-bound to meet our nation’s ever-increasing demand for behavioral care,” said Glenn Cole, Array’s Board Chairman. “The Board is grateful for all that Array’s executive team has done in establishing Array as the industry leader, and is thrilled that founders Jim Varrell and Geoffrey Boyce will continue to work alongside Shannon, Sara, Ben and other Array leaders to develop and execute a shared vision and strategy to more effectively address mental health needs across the country.”

Werb, Gotheridge, and Schlang bring substantial healthcare experience, and proven success in their respective domains, including business strategy and operations, clinical, and financial. Werb has more than 25 years of experience as a healthcare executive and driver of value creation in the provider and related healthcare technology industries. Previously, he served as COO at DispatchHealth, where he played a key role in diversifying the company’s capabilities to multiple service lines, while scaling delivery across more than 40 states. Prior to that, Werb was president and COO of vRad, a global telemedicine company and the nation’s largest radiology practice.

Array is poised to accelerate its pace of scale in new and existing markets through enhanced service offerings and operations, innovative technology, and expansion of the practice team. Array’s unique service delivery models will deliver timely and high-quality care across the continuum, regardless of setting, and continued investment in Array’s leadership will drive more comprehensive solutions to Array’s hospital and payor partners. Amid growing national concern for mental health, timely intervention is valuable and appropriate follow-up care is critical. Array is investing in both.

“We’re at a critical inflection point for telehealth—we’ve experienced wide-scale adoption and efficacy, and we must ensure we maintain that commitment in order to best meet the nation’s mental health care needs,” said Werb. “It’s an honor to lead an industry innovator and build on our legacy as a great place for clinicians to practice care and for patients to receive care.”

Along with Werb, Array welcomes Gotheridge to oversee Array’s clinical team and quality program, and Schlang to manage the company’s financial operations. In addition to growing multiple practices throughout her 25-year career, Gotheridge is an experienced CMO within community mental health and has unique expertise in integrated care. She will oversee all clinical services, maintain active clinical practice, and partner closely with Array’s operations team to ensure that the highest quality of care is delivered to patients in a scalable and sustainable way. Schlang brings more than a decade of private equity experience in healthcare investment and finance and has been actively involved with Array for nearly six years as a member of one of Array’s institutional investors, Harbour Point Capital.

“We built the foundations for Array more than 20 years ago because we knew that virtual care offered patients in critical need access to the right care at the right time,” said Geoffrey Boyce, Array’s Founder. “Now more than ever, we see the importance of our mission and recognize the need to grow our organization to meet patients’ increasing mental health care needs. With these new leaders, Array is poised to maximize the expertise of our exceptional clinicians and enhance our offerings and delivery at an accelerated pace.”

In January 2023, Array completed a Series C capital raise led by CVS Health to further scale Array’s modern behavioral care services across the continuum. Array’s clinical, operational, administrative, and technical specialists enable its to clinicians operate at the top of their licenses, integrate with care teams, and similarly practice as they would if they were physically present with the patient. Array was named a Fortune 2023 Best Workplaces in Healthcare, following last year’s receipt of Great Place to Work® certification.

Enhabit Announces Agreement with Cruiser Capital and Harbour Point Capital

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enhabit, Inc. (NYSE: EHAB) (“Enhabit” or the “Company”), a leading national home health and hospice provider, today announced an agreement with Cruiser Capital Advisors LLC (“Cruiser”) and Harbour Point Capital Management LP (“Harbour Point” ), which collectively own approximately 4.7% of the outstanding shares of Enhabit’s common stock, pursuant to which Enhabit has appointed Stuart McGuigan and Barry Schochet to its board of directors, effective immediately. With these appointments the Company’s board will expand temporarily to 13 directors.

As Enhabit previously disclosed in May 2022 ahead of the completion of its separation from Encompass Health Corporation (“Encompass Health”), five of its board members previously served on the board of directors of Encompass Health and remain on Enhabit’s board on a transitional basis to assist Enhabit’s start up as a public company, leveraging their knowledge of the business and experience as public company directors (the “Transition Plan”). The appointments of Mr. McGuigan and Mr. Schochet support the advancement of the Company’s Transition Plan. The board reemphasizes its commitment to an orderly transition whereby at least four of the five transitional Encompass Health board members will step down from the board at or before the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

In conjunction with the appointment of the two directors, the Company has entered into a cooperation agreement with Cruiser and Harbour Point Capital (together, the “Investor Group”). In addition to the director appointments, the cooperation agreement provides that the Investor Group will support the board’s full slate of directors at the annual meeting and will abide by customary standstill, voting and other provisions. The complete agreement will be filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

“We are pleased to strengthen the Enhabit board with the additions of Stuart and Barry as new independent directors,” said Leo I. Higdon Jr., Chairman of the Enhabit board. “With Enhabit still in its first full year operating as a public company, we believe today’s announcement underscores our board refreshment efforts. Stuart brings over 30 years of information and technology experience with successful Chief Information Officer roles at a variety of organizations where technology and data analytics were critical to their success. Barry is a highly accomplished healthcare industry executive and investor with more than three decades of experience. We look forward to working together as we continue to focus on meeting the needs of our patients and enhancing stockholder value.”

“With technology playing an increasingly important role in successfully delivering high-quality, cost-effective care, I look forward to working closely with the board and management team toward our shared goal of driving value for Enhabit,” said Mr. McGuigan.

“I am honored to be joining the Enhabit board,” said Mr. Schochet. “Enhabit has a diverse portfolio, a strong pipeline and a talented team in place today and is well positioned to deliver superior, cost-effective care where patients most prefer it: in their homes. I am excited for the opportunity to help the Company advance its objectives for growth and value creation.”

Keith Rosenbloom, Managing Member of Cruiser Capital Advisors, said, “We believe Enhabit’s intrinsic value is underappreciated, and it has the potential to generate tremendous returns for investors – particularly given the level of consolidation activity in the industry. As shareholders we appreciate the constructive engagement we have had with the Enhabit leadership team and Board and are pleased the Company is strengthening its Board with these two additions. We view today’s announcement as a positive development for all Enhabit stockholders.”

CVS Health to Acquire Oak Street Health

WOONSOCKET, R.I. and CHICAGOFeb. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) and Oak Street Health (NYSE: OSH) have entered into a definitive agreement under which CVS Health will acquire Oak Street Health in an all-cash transaction at $39 per share, representing an enterprise value of approximately $10.6 billion.

Oak Street Health is a leading multi-payor, value-based primary care company helping older adults stay healthy and live life more fully. With an innovative care model and technology platform designed to deliver consistently superior outcomes and patient experiences, Oak Street Health has demonstrated that its model is scalable.

Bringing CVS Health and Oak Street Health together can significantly benefit patients’ long-term health by reducing care costs and improving outcomes – particularly for those in underserved communities. Oak Street Health centers are located where health care services are needed most; more than 50 percent of Oak Street Health’s patients have a housing, food or isolation risk factor.

“Combining Oak Street Health’s platform with CVS Health’s unmatched reach will create the premier value-based primary care solution,” said CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch. “Enhancing our value-based offerings is core to our strategy as we continue to redefine how people access and experience care that is more affordable, convenient and connected.”

Oak Street Health employs approximately 600 primary care providers and has 169 medical centers across 21 states. Oak Street Health is differentiated by its leading technology solution, Canopy, which is fully integrated with Oak Street Health’s operations and utilized when determining the appropriate type and level of care for each patient. That care will be enhanced by CVS Health’s community, home and digital offerings.

“This agreement with CVS Health will accelerate our ability to deliver on our mission and continue improving health outcomes, lowering medical costs, and providing a better patient experience while offering significant value to our shareholders,” said Oak Street Health CEO Mike Pykosz. “Together with CVS Health, we will have access to greater resources and capabilities to expand the reach of our platform, provide more opportunities for our teammates and, most importantly, make a meaningful difference in the lives of the patients we serve.”

Following the close of the transaction, Pykosz will continue to lead Oak Street Health, which will become part of CVS Health’s recently formed Health Care Delivery organization. Oak Street Health will continue to serve its extensive network of health plan partners and patients – consistent with CVS Health’s payor-agnostic approach to delivering leading solutions.

Transaction details

CVS Health will acquire Oak Street Health’s outstanding shares for $39 per share in cash, representing an enterprise value of approximately $10.6 billion. CVS Health expects to fund the transaction through available resources and existing financing capacity and is committed to maintaining its current credit ratings. The transaction was approved by the Board of Directors at each of the respective companies and is subject to approval by a majority of Oak Street Health’s stockholders, receipt of regulatory approval and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Private equity funds affiliated with Newlight Partners LP and General Atlantic LLC and certain members of the Oak Street Health Board of Directors, which collectively own approximately 45% of the common stock of Oak Street Health, have agreed to vote the shares they own in favor of the transaction, subject to customary exceptions. CVS Health and Oak Street Health anticipate that the transaction will close in 2023.

“Oak Street Health is a premier value-based primary care platform,” said CVS Health Chief Financial Officer Shawn M. Guertin. “We believe that in partnership with CVS Health, Oak Street Health can accelerate its growth and provide an attractive return to our shareholders over time. The pending acquisitions of Oak Street Health and Signify Health will also meaningfully advance our goal of adding 200 basis points of long-term adjusted operating income growth, a key commitment we made to shareholders at our December 2021 Investor Day.”

By 2026, Oak Street Health will have over 300 centers, each of which has the potential to contribute $7 million of Oak Street Health Adjusted EBITDA at maturity, representing more than $2 billion of Oak Street Health embedded Adjusted EBITDA at that time. Additionally, CVS Health projects more than $500 million in synergy potential over time, enhancing CVS Health’s long-term adjusted operating income growth.

CVS Health continues to project that it will achieve 2023 Adjusted EPS in the range of $8.70 to $8.90. CVS Health is now targeting 2024 Adjusted EPS of approximately $9.00, growing to approximately $10.00 in 2025, with upside in 2025 based on the successful resolution of its Medicare Stars Ratings mitigation efforts. The 2024 and 2025 Adjusted EPS trajectories reflect the impact of the previously disclosed 2024 Medicare Stars Ratings headwind and Centene contract loss, closing of the Oak Street Health transaction in 2023, as well as projected contributions from the pending Signify Health transaction in 2024 and beyond. Consistent with past practice, CVS Health expects to exclude integration and transaction costs from its Adjusted EPS presentation.

Advisors

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Lazard Ltd are serving as co-financial advisors to CVS Health. CVS Health was advised on legal matters by Shearman & Sterling LLP, Dechert LLP and McDermott Will & Emery. Centerview Partners is serving as financial advisor for Oak Street Health and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is acting as Oak Street Health’s legal advisor.

Array Behavioral Care Secures $25 Million from CVS Health to Help Address National Mental Health Crisis through Virtual Care

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Array Behavioral Care, the nation’s leading virtual psychiatry and therapy practice, announced today the closing of its latest equity round to further scale modern behavioral health care across the continuum, with CVS Health leading the round. Existing investors also joined the round and contributed additional capital.

The financing builds upon a long history between Array and CVS Health and opens doors to new levels of collaboration to expand access to high-quality behavioral care.

“Array has consistently been a strong mental health care provider within Aetna’s network,” said Cara McNulty, President of Behavioral Health and Mental Well-being for CVS Health. “As CVS Health drives more innovation into care delivery, we look forward to working with Array to enhance access that complements our existing services in new ways.”

Serving hospitals, clinics, and individuals directly at home, Array uniquely delivers psychiatry and therapy across the continuum of care. With CVS Health as a new investor, Array will scale faster to provide further access to quality, timely behavioral care in new and existing markets through enhanced service offerings and operations, innovative technology, and expansion of the practice team.

The Array team’s experience with telepsychiatry spans more than two decades, and during this time, we’ve been at the forefront of creating, implementing, and evolving virtualized mental health programs across the continuum of care. From our first telepsychiatry encounter in a rural hospital in 1999 to caring for patients online from their homes today, we’ve stayed true to our mission to meet patients where they are regardless of acuity level or setting to deliver the behavioral health care they deserve,” said Geoffrey Boyce, CEO and Co-founder of Array. “As we continue to lead the charge in transforming access to modern behavioral health care, we’re proud to do it with our existing partners and CVS Health.”

“Array’s long history in virtual behavioral care and its devotion to quality stand out,” said Vijay Patel, Managing Partner and co-founder of CVS Health Ventures, the company’s dedicated corporate venture capital platform. “Our collaboration and investment can help enhance access to these services, which is particularly important with demand for mental health services increasing significantly in recent years.”

As an early champion of telepsychiatry more than 20 years ago, Array and its early founders have been instrumental in the reinvention of how mental health care is delivered. The practice has long advocated for improved access to timely, quality behavioral health care in hospitals, community clinics, primary care offices, and homes for patients nationwide. Today, there are about 90 million Americans who can access Array’s services across all 50 states.

An estimated 150 million Americans, or 40% of the population, live in federally designated mental health professional shortage areas. According to research by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, only 27.7% of the national need for mental health professionals is actively being met. This scarcity of mental health professionals prevents patients from receiving the care they need, resulting in adverse health outcomes. The virtual care model allows for a more equitable distribution of clinical resources, particularly in rural and underserved communities, helping to remove barriers that limit patient access and increasing collaboration between mental and physical health clinicians.

“Our practice has always focused on helping provide patients the care they need, when and where they need it, without sacrificing quality,” said Dr. James Varrell, Executive Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Array. “It’s clear that telebehavioral care is one of the most meaningful ways to address the clinician shortage and mental health crisis. As our practice broadens its reach, our patients and partners can rest assured in knowing that we lead with quality and clinical excellence first and foremost.”

Virtual solutions can also benefit psychiatrists, therapists, and other clinicians who can often be burdened with excessive administrative work that detracts from time that could be spent providing direct patient care. At Array, clinicians have a support team of clinical, operational, administrative, and technical specialists who help providers operate at the top of their licenses, integrate with care teams, and similarly practice as they would if they were physically present with the patient. In 2022, Array earned the Great Place to Work Certification, with 90 percent of team members calling Array a great place to work.

CVS Health joins other industry leaders and early investors in Array Behavioral Care, including Wells Fargo Strategic Capital, Health Velocity Capital, Harbour Point Capital, HLM Venture Partners, OCA Ventures, and OSF Healthcare.

Wells Fargo served as Array’s advisor on the transaction with a team led by Puneet Chandhok.

David Fairchild, MD, MPH, SVP and Chief Medical Officer of Retail Health for CVS Health will join Array’s board of directors. “Providing high-quality, whole-person care to consumers is essential to improving the health care system,” said Dr. Fairchild. “Working with Dr. Varrell, Geoffrey Boyce, and the entire Array organization, we believe that we can help increase access to excellent, convenient behavioral health care services.”
