Two Montana Companies, CrossTx and Frontier Psychiatry, Partner to Curtail Rising Rates of Suicide and Mental Health Crisis Statewide

In a few short weeks, Frontier Psychiatry connected Montanans across the state to psychiatry services. This was accomplished by the CrossTx Care Coordination Platform, recent recipient of the MT Innovation Grant in response to COVID-19.

“Montana has consistently posted among the worst suicide rates in the U.S. over the last 30 years. The COVID-19 pandemic has, unfortunately, amplified the mental health crisis among Montanans by worsening social isolation and making access to mental health services more difficult,” said Eric Arzubi, MD, a founding partner of Frontier Psychiatry. “We need a different approach to care if we’re going to bring our suicide rate down.”
