Why choose us?

Fitz Ilias believes in challenging the status quo. We believe anybody anywhere in the world should be able to connect with the health care providers of their choice.
We are a driven company who believes in providing excellent care, customer service, and patient satisfaction.
We put people before profits. We do not have share holders or bureaucrats to whom we are beholden. Our commitment to care, superb customer service, and dedication to patient satisfaction set us apart from the rest. Our decentralized model provides powerful convenience and speed.
Professionalism
We are not a short term staffing company. We carefully pair our practitioners to the clinic(s) that are the best fit to ensure a long lasting relationship on both sides. Are you an outstanding mental health provider interested in joining our team?
We work to empower each member of the organization to fulfill their greatest potential. We recognize that each team member is vital to the mission and success of the organization. We offer education and mentorship in order to build each other up and grow together.
Each of us has the ability to be a leader and a teacher. We invite team members to collaborate with us by sharing their ideas, talents, and vision with the team in order to create the best program possible. Directors have an open door policy and encourage feedback, ideas, and open communication from team members.
Expertise
We integrate exceptional, highly qualified, and board certified mental health practitioners such as Psychiatrists, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Physician Assistants, Collaborative Care and even Practice Management. Whatever your clinic needs, we can facilitate.
We specialize in rural communities, RHCs, FQHCs, Drug and Alcohol Rehabs, Critical Access Hospital, Inpatient Hospitals, CMHCs, County Health Departments and anyone else who has a shared mission. Are you an outstanding clinic interested in parterning with a world class organization to integrate mental health services for your patients?
Integrity
Look around any corner, and you will see suffering souls. There has been a decline in the mental health of our daughters and sons, friends and families. Whether it is an increase in suicide rates, substance abuse, acts of violence, or depression, our cores continue to be shaken.
Unfortunately, rural communities, impacted by geography and resources, are highly vulnerable. Small communities come together, but the problems in delivering a desperately needed service like mental health care continue. Some organizations have come together and banded forces to develop creative ways about how mental health care can be better delivered in rural communities. Do you want to be one of those organizations?
