  • Telepsychiatry Before It Was Common: Summit’s Roots in Alaska’s Early Telehealth Expansion

At Summit Psychiatry Associates, we believe experience matters — especially when it comes to delivering high-quality care through telepsychiatry.

One of our current providers helped lead the way in remote behavioral health delivery while working at Orion Behavioral Health Network, a pioneer in Alaska’s telehealth landscape. As featured in the Frontiersman, Orion’s seamless pivot to remote care during COVID-19 reflected a decade-long foundation in virtual behavioral health.

Why This Matters Today

Long before telehealth became a necessity, our team was already delivering psychiatric care to rural, remote, and underserved areas — including children, families, and veterans across Alaska. This depth of experience informs our current work at Summit, where we blend:

  • Secure telepsychiatry for Alaska and Montana
  • In-person visits in Kalispell, MT
  • Advanced tools for ADHD and behavioral health testing
  • Trauma-informed care for both youth and adults

Whether you’re new to telehealth or looking to continue virtual care with a provider who understands its nuances, Summit offers the clinical depth and technical expertise to make your experience smooth and meaningful.
