In an era where telehealth is often reduced to quick, one-off visits, Ovatient CEO Michael Dalton is charting a different course—one that blends digital access with the trust, continuity, and whole-person focus of traditional care.

With deep roots inside health systems like MetroHealth and MUSC, Michael shares how Ovatient was built "by health systems, for health systems" to move beyond transactional virtual care. He reveals the keys to building trust in digital health, integrating seamlessly with Epic, and creating true partnerships rather than vendor relationships.

From reducing barriers for patients to scaling integrated behavioral health, Ovatient's model is showing how virtual-first can still be personal, local, and outcome-driven. You'll hear real patient stories, lessons on co-developing with health systems, and strategies for delivering high-quality care at scale—without losing the human touch.

Whether you're a health system leader, digital health innovator, or investor, this conversation is packed with insights on designing virtual care models that last, scale, and truly serve
