About

Mental health disparities in underserved and minority communities are a crisis, and the common answer, adding more diverse providers, solves only part of it. Lucet, a behavioral health company, wanted to push the conversation further.

SVM helped place an article by Lucet CEO Shana Hoffman in MedCity News in August 2024. The piece argues that expanding the diversity of the provider pool fixes only one part of the problem, and that closing the gap requires tailoring care to each patient’s specific experiences and needs.

The byline positioned Hoffman as a leading voice on equity in behavioral health.
