The Array clinical team started practicing telepsychiatry in 1999. Founder and Current Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jim Varrell provided the nation’s first commitment via telepsychiatry and has since been one of the nation’s top advocates for the appropriate use of telepsychiatry to increase access to care.
The team’s telepsychiatry service offerings quickly grew into new care settings and new states. The team operated under the name InSight Telepsychiatry and provided services as part of the CFG Health Network.
As that was happening, the Regroup Telehealth team formed and began to grow a significant scheduled care presence out of the Chicago area.
In 2019, InSight Telepsychiatry and Regroup Telehealth joined forces to form the largest telepsychiatry service clinician organization in the country.
In January 2021, the team launched under a new name, Array Behavioral Care.
In January 2023, Array secured its Series C funding from CVS Health who joined other investors including Wells Fargo Strategic Capital, Health Velocity Capital, Harbour Point Capital, HLM Venture Partners, OCA Ventures and OSF Healthcare.
Much has changed since that first telepsychiatry encounter reached a patient in need at a rural hospital. Today, telepsychiatry is increasingly the standard form of delivering care and Array is leading the charge in transforming access to modern behavioral health care.
