The mental health crisis in America isn’t slowing down with 60 million people struggling. evolvedMD is meeting the moment with its onsite, team-based, and outcomes-driven CoCM solution.
In 2025, we doubled down on our mission with bold action, measurable impact, and partnerships that set a new standard for integrated care. Patients, providers, and practices are taking notice and joining our mission to reimagine behavioral health.
Here’s how evolvedMD delivered on its promise:
1. More Clinics, More Clinicians, More Lives Changed
The market is responding with enthusiasm to our innovative collaborative care model (CoCM). This year, we expanded behavioral health services into more primary care practices and entered new specialties like Diabetes and Dementia. Here’s what we saw:
- Unique Patients: 42,000, a 13.5% increase from 2024.
- New Patients: 29,750, a 10.2% increase from 2024.
- New Clinics: 79 new clinics implemented, totaling 250+ sites across the nation.
- New Employees: 41 new full-time employees spanning clinical, admin, and leadership.

Why is this important? Patients who didn’t have access to affordable mental health care now do at their preferred primary care practice.
2. Measuring Success, One Patient at a Time
We can’t radically change healthcare without measuring outcomes. Using screening tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, we track each patient’s baseline and their progress over time. This approach helps us adjust care as needed, graduate patients faster, and create capacity for others seeking help. Over the past 12 months, our clinicians have delivered over 122,000 patient-facing hours, achieving:
- Depression (PHQ-9) and Anxiety (GAD-7): 64% of patients achieved a 50% reduction or 10-point reduction from their most recent max assessment score within five months.

Why is this important? Patients in our collaborative care program improve much faster compared to traditional care and competing integrated care programs. A win-win for both patients and providers alike, our measurement-based approach delivers best-in-class results.
3. Third Party Validation Confirms a New Gold Standard for Integrated Care
A leading healthcare actuarial consulting firm independently evaluated our innovative model, analyzing 1.3 million patients over two years. Their findings show because of evolvedMD, practice partners see:
- 15% lower risk-adjusted total cost of care.
- 15% fewer psychiatric professional visits.
- 3-4x more PCP referrals for onsite CoCM compared to virtual.
- 17% stronger patient-PCP relationships.
Why is this important? evolvedMD is setting the new gold standard for integrated care that benefits patients, providers, and practices alike. Stay tuned for a deeper dive into the firm’s analysis with our upcoming white paper. In the meantime, see our Advisory Board feature that shows how we meet primary care partners’ needs like Tampa General Hospital.
4. Investors Back evolvedMD with $34 Million Series B
Following our $14 million Series-A Prime in 2023, our Series B was led by Sustainable Investing at Goldman Sachs Asset Management with additional participation from all our current investors: Conductive Ventures, Healthworx Ventures, FCA Venture Partners, Tectonic Ventures, and Waterline Ventures. Read the press release.

Why is this important? This investment accelerates our ability to scale nationwide and signals strong confidence that evolvedMD’s approach to integrated care is the future.
5. Five Years of Partnership, Thousands of Lives Changed with HonorHealth
You’ve seen our broader impact, now see what happens when we partner with just one primary care system: HonorHealth.
Our impact since 2020:
- Patients Served – Nearly 17,000 patients served.
- Patient Outcomes – PHQ-9 response rate: 64%; GAD-7 response rate: 63%.
- Clinic Partnership – 27 clinics enriched with mental health services, with more to come.

Why is this important? Our transformational partnership began with a pilot at just four HonorHealth Medical Group primary care sites in 2020. Scaling to all 27 sites in the years since, we removed barriers to mental health care and delivered timely, evidenced-based support.
6. Named a Top 100 Fastest-Growing Healthcare Companies in America
We earned a coveted spot on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies, ranking #868 overall, Top 100 in healthcare, and Top 25 in our home state of Arizona.

Why is this important? The Inc. 5000 recognizes the most successful independent businesses driving the U.S. economy forward. This marks our fourth consecutive year on the list – a powerful testament to our sustained growth, innovation, and impact.
7. evolvedMD at the Forefront of Collaborative Care Growth
Unsurprisingly, evolvedMD was highlighted as a key player in collaborative care’s growth in recent years. A study by Milliman shows explosive growth with participation among the commercially insured population increasing 22-fold, and 10-fold for Medicare Advantage.
Why is this important? While still a burgeoning model, evolvedMD’s CoCM is accelerating adoption thanks to superior operational, financial, and clinical outcomes.
8. Closing the Gap to Comprehensive Psychiatric Med Management
Grounded in evidence-based care and supported by evolvedMD, we launched evolvedBH to connect patients with licensed, qualified practitioners for psychiatric services and medication management. Led by Dr. John Brewer, Chief Clinical Officer of Psychiatry, evolvedBH manages more complex behavioral health needs and gets patients impactful care, faster.

Why is this important? With evolvedBH, patients can have their first appointment within five days of referral—not months.
9. Partnerships Driving Change and Advancing Integrated Care
In partnership with Banner Health and Evernorth Care Group, we shared our collective impact on data-driven webinars hosted by Becker’s Behavioral Health and America’s Physician Group:

- Banner Health – Our founder and CEO, Erik Osland, highlighted our strategic partnership with Dr. Ed Clarke, Vice President, Chief Medical Officer Banner Health Plans and Networks, and Dr. David Valenzuela, Physician Executive with Banner Medical Group. Watch here.
- Evernorth Care Group – Our co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Steve Biljan, discussed our impact with Dr. Eric Limkemann, Medical Director. Watch here.
Altogether, these discussions attracted primary care leaders wanting to learn more about evolvedMD and what we can do for their patients.
Why is this important? These conversations with leading primary care systems reinforce why evolvedMD’s approach is the future of healthcare.
