💙 A Note from Legion Leadership

Dear Ashlie,

Welcome to the forefront of a revolution in mental health. As we extend this offer to join Legion, we're not just celebrating your acceptance but also the beginning of a remarkable journey together. Among over 500 candidates (not joking!), your exceptional compassion, clinical expertise, and dedication to patient care made you stand out above the rest.

Before you decide to join us, please consider the following. We’re not just looking for excellence; we’re seeking pioneers who share our vision of transforming psychiatry in Texas and beyond. Our mission is bold and entirely novel: to uplift psychiatric nurse practitioners to provide world-class psychiatric care to patients, regardless of insurance. In a time when PMHNPs are burnt out or (worse) forced to provide unethical care, we stand for autonomy and support for our providers, evidence-backed and responsible prescribing, modern technology, and a very high bar for each other. Your colleagues will be some of the most talented PMHNPs, collaborating psychiatrists, and support staff in the country.

Innovation is never smooth (there will certainly be bumps and bruises!), but our commitment to doing right by our patients—and, thereby, our providers—acts as a guiding light for our organization. We trust in your expertise and hope that you will embrace the journey ahead, knowing it will be filled with both challenges and opportunities for growth.

Our mission is not just a statement; it's a promise to each other and the communities we serve. If you join us as an early provider in our organization, we’re counting on you to embody this promise, to stand with us as we fight—as a Legion—against our country’s mental health crisis.

Welcome to Legion.

With warm regards,

Charlotte Coates, RN, MSN, PMHNP-BC | Founding Clinical Lead

Yash M. Patel | CEO and Co-Founder

To be determined together

• Credentialing Timeline: The credentialing process with our insurance partners typically takes at least 120 days, though the exact duration can vary for each provider. This essential phase ensures you're fully equipped to begin your journey with us.
• Transition into Full Engagement: Initially, all providers start on a part-time basis. Based on strong performance, we’ll increase providers’ hours to match availability and preference.
  • Our approach focuses on expanding the hours of our highest-performing providers before integrating new members into our team, which we’ve found has allowed us to maintain excellence in both patient and provider experience.
  • The pace of this transition is influenced by the volume of referrals we receive from our primary care partnerships. Legion is currently experiencing a robust growth rate, with over 30% month-over-month increase in total patient appointments.
