About the event

Join Syntero CEO Sara Harrison-Mills for a thought-provoking Big Table Talk, part of the Columbus Foundation’s Big Table event and Syntero’s 50th Anniversary celebration. Together, we’ll explore how mental health care has evolved over the past five decades—what’s changed, what remains challenging, and where do we go from here. This is more than a presentation; it’s an open conversation about the future of behavioral health in Central Ohio.
