## Resource

Since 2020, incidences of mental illness have increased 25% worldwide, and in the United States there is only 1 mental health provider for every 340 people with a mental health condition. As such, the number of patients coming to emergency departments to treat mental health issues has skyrocketed. In the midst of this behavioral health emergencies epidemic, and against the backdrop of the uniquely high-intensity New York City environment, Dr. Angela Mills and Dr. Brenna Farmer– two emergency department leaders at NewYork-Presbyterian– are piloting new strategies to ensure that they coordinate top-quality care for this growing population of vulnerable patients.
