Fort Health

Mental Health Care · 34 employees · Founded 2022 · New York, United States

There’s a national crisis in pediatric mental health. 1-in-5 children experience mental health concerns and yet families struggle to find timely, insurance-covered care. Waitlists can be months long and for children aged 4-24, delayed care can be detrimental to their development. Secondly, 75% of children diagnosed with a mental health condition are diagnosed by their primary care provider, yet most pediatricians lack reliable referral partners for specialized care. This gap in our healthcare system leaves pediatricians overwhelmed and families struggling to find the help they need. Fort Health solves this gap by seamlessly partnering with pediatricians to quickly deliver high-quality, evidence-based mental health care for children and their families. - 1,000+ pediatricians refer their patients to Fort Health. - 84% of patients improve as measured by scales like GAD-7 and PHQ-9. We snap-fit into pediatrician workflows with: ✅ In-network therapy & psychiatry appointments within (3) days ✅ Direct Referrals in 60-seconds ✅ Referrals contacted within (1) day ✅ Comprehensive reporting on every referral ✅ Collaborative Care Partnership Model ✅ Reduced administrative burden with digital self-scheduling ✅ Parent coaching & free resources ✅ Most major insurance plans accepted Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and every family deserves access to timely, effective, and compassionate mental health support. That’s why we built Fort Health—to be a trusted partner to pediatricians and a lifeline for families navigating pediatric mental health challenges.
