Speaker's Profile

Evans Rochaste is a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry, a health-tech operator, and the CEO and Founder of Reklame Health. This innovative, tech-enabled startup is transforming the future of culturally competent mental health care.

With over a decade's experience working in large enterprise healthcare systems such as Columbia University Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and behavioral health startups like Alma and Health, Evans is dedicated to reshaping psychiatric and addiction care for young adults and historically overlooked populations.

Under Evans' strategic leadership, Reklame Health has become more than just a healthcare provider—it is a beacon of health equity. Its mission to make behavioral health and substance use services accessible to 200+ million BIPOC adults nationwide has resonated deeply, leading to successful partnerships with large healthcare systems, universities, and major insurance companies, including United Health Care, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna.

This commitment to accessibility and cultural competency has not gone unnoticed. Black Book Research recently recognized Reklame Health as one of the top 50 emerging tech-enabled healthcare start-ups in 2023. Reklame's traction has also caught the attention of Behavioral Health Business "because it's looking to expand access to care populations that have historically faced barriers in finding providers".

As a thought leader, Evans is driving innovation and leveraging technology to enhance patient care. The continuous strides made in pushing the boundaries of healthcare delivery through Reklame Health are a testament to their dedication. Guided by an innate understanding of the healthcare industry, an unyielding pursuit of innovation, and a firm belief in the power of partnerships with stakeholders who can resonate with the needs of large subsets of populations historically left out of the healthcare system.
