LEADERSHIP

Our mission is to provide solutions that transform healthcare delivery through telehealth.  

QHC was founded by qualified experts that have over 40 years experience in healthcare and 15 years of experience in telehealth innovation and delivery.  Our executive leadership consists of individuals from diverse telehealth backgrounds that span the full range of virtual healthcare delivery concerns.

Dr. Steve Lower has dedicated his career to redefining healthcare delivery through telehealth solutions. For over 40 years, Dr. Lower has been providing high-quality, high-value behavioral health care services in his clinics in Philadelphia, through his Employee Assistance Program (EAP) company established in 1982, and more recently with Quantum Health Connect. 

Dr. Lower has become increasingly concerned because over the last four decades, America has ignored a growing behavioral health problem. As state mental health facilities were closed across the country in the early '70s, no system was put in place to deal with the nation’s mental health needs. Many in this country looked the other way and hoped the problems would go away. Well, the problems did not go away and now America has a mental health epidemic.  

It is estimated that in the US, 31 million people spent $9 billion last year on behavioral health treatment.  Millions of people living in rural areas and the disabled are more susceptible to mental illness, but they have less access to treatment due to geographic and mobility constraints. Seventy percent of the counties in this country have no behavioral health workers.  A recent USA Today Special Report estimated that benefits for those with emotional disorders who cannot support themselves and the loss of productivity costs the US economy more than $444 billion each year.  A recent New York Times article stated that general hospitals will spend $38.5 billion this year caring for patients whose primary issue was a behavioral health diagnosis.

QHC is working to address this crisis by delivery solutions that enable access and improve treatment for behavioral health patients.  Our products and services include virtual offices, a national network of medical & behavioral health providers, Behavioral Health Assessments, telehealth hardware & software, Remote Patient Monitoring, and data management & predictive analytics. To help address the opioid and addiction epidemic, QHC’s treatment approaches include virtual medication-assisted treatment and virtual EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement & Desensitization Reprocessing). 

QHC is dedicated to providing solutions that transform healthcare delivery through telehealth and to integrating medical & behavioral health care.

During the busiest years of Nevin Brittain’s career, his great-grandmother passed due to complications associated with diabetes. Years of disconnected care, readmissions to the hospital, lack of collaboration, and an unclear action plan for the care team lead to his great-grandmother’s untimely death. Armed with his knowledge and experiences, Nevin created Health Numeric to give caregivers the tools they need to better care for their patients and loved ones.

Nevin graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Computer Engineering. He began his Network Engineering career at Nortel Network one on the largest computer networking companies in the world. Nevin became a subject matter expert in technologies that helped large corporations securely share data and collaborate.
