A bit about us:
-

Portages Health is a Minnesota-based digital behavioral healthcare company committed to solving the two biggest problems in mental healthcare: poor access and poor results.

• We started as Praestan Health in 2018. Praestan is Latin for “Superior”, a nod to our origin in Minnesota and our iconic Great Lake.
• We spent the past 4 years passionately developing our model of care and our technology.
• We operated 13 co-located, integrated, behavioral health clinics in primary care settings with teams of psychiatry providers, therapists, and care navigators.
• In our first 3 years, we had over 20,000 patient encounters that informed the ongoing development and refinement of our model and technology.
• Our Proof-of-Concept studies with our patients demonstrated that Portages effectively changes habits and behaviors and reduces distress, anxiety, and depression.
• We have transitioned out of traditional office-based care to complete the development of our technology allowing us to solve for the problems of poor access and poor results.
• We launched Portages Health, with another nod to Minnesota and the experience of portaging in the legendary Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness across Northern Minnesota.
