Better U, a virtual healthcare platform, has announced the expansion of its services across Hawaii. The company now offers online psychiatry, telemedicine mental health services, and clinician-guided holistic care through a coordinated approach. This allows residents in major population centers and surrounding communities statewide to access virtual mental health care, including options like at-home ketamine therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement, and clinical weight management.

Why it matters

This expansion by Better U helps increase access to mental health services in Hawaii, where geographic barriers can make it challenging for some individuals to receive coordinated, evidence-informed care. The company's holistic, integrated approach aims to address the close connection between mental, physical, and lifestyle factors.

The details

Better U's virtual platform integrates various mental health and wellness services, including psychiatry, ketamine therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement, clinical weight management, sexual health, and regenerative therapies.
