About PMC
PMC partners with hospitals, clinics, and health systems to manage behavioral health programs, fill staffing gaps, provide clinical oversight, and operational support.
PMC was built by Dr. James A Greene, who spent his career in geriatric psychiatry working in communities with little or no access to behavioral health care. That’s why PMC’s first program did not launch inside an urban health system, but in rural Tennessee, in a hospital that didn’t have resources to deliver behavioral health. Dr. Greene understood the challenges of complex reimbursement rules, a small labor market for clinical staff, and a level of community trust that has to be earned, not assumed. That understanding shaped how PMC built every program and solution that followed.
Clinical mission met operational rigor when J.R. Greene – a veteran of consumer businesses like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and Revlon – joined the company. From there, PMC became a partner that could run behavioral health programs at scale across multiple service lines nationwide.
