Two decades ago, Dr. Jagdeep Garewal embarked on a mission fueled by compassion and a drive for innovation. Witnessing the stark contrast in healthcare accessibility between rural and urban areas, he recognized the profound underservice and sought to make a difference. Understanding the hurdles faced by clinics in addressing these disparities, he envisioned the transformative potential of telehealth. Having undergone advanced training during his chief resident years at Kansas University Medical Center, he undertook telehealth as an early solution to help underserved communities.

Telehealth has evolved significantly over the years in terms of quality, scope, and adaptability. Under the direction of Dr. Garewal, Nexa Behavioral Health has been at the forefront with its innovation and pioneering efforts in telehealth using EMRs to ensure that individuals, regardless of their location, can access top-tier, specialized care. Dr. Garewal’s legacy is one of compassion, capability, and unwavering dedication to transforming healthcare for all.
