How Learning Health Networks Are Transforming Youth Mental Health with Medicaid

Episode 5: The Power of Learning Health Networks with Dr. Dan Hyman & Dr. Peter Margolis Hosted by Jason Hopcus and Heidi Baskfield of @spkourminds

How do we create systems that actually learn from the people they serve? In this powerful episode, we explore how Learning Health Networks (LHNs) are transforming the landscape of youth mental healthcare through connection, data, and collaboration. Jason and Heidi sit down with two national leaders in the field—Dr. Dan Hyman and Dr. Peter Margolis—to unpack the promise of LHNs in improving Medicaid-funded care. From breaking down traditional silos to uniting families, providers, and policymakers, this episode offers a clear roadmap for what’s possible when we treat healthcare like a shared mission.

What you’ll learn:

- What a Learning Health Network is—and why it matters now more than ever

- Real-world examples of LHNs driving measurable change

- How state and federal funding can be used to scale solutions that work

- What it takes to build a Learning Health Network for youth mental health from the ground up

This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action.

🎙️ Listen now to learn how LHNs can help us build a smarter, more connected future for youth mental health.
