Colla Health

Colla Health (operating at collahealth.com) is a behavioral health platform engineered for cancer care integration. Founded in 2024 by Milan Thakor and headquartered in Houston, TX, Colla Health bridges a critical gap in oncology by embedding mental health support directly into cancer treatment pathways. While traditional care often silos psychiatric and counseling services, Colla Health delivers a unified, evidence-based framework for patients, caregivers, and clinics—ensuring behavioral health is as routine as chemotherapy or radiation. Under the hood, the platform combines telepsychiatry, therapy, and care coordination tools, all designed to align with insurance coverage and oncology workflows. This allows cancer centers and patients to access specialized mental health interventions without disrupting treatment continuity, improving adherence and quality of life. Backed by an $8.5M funding round, Colla Health partners with networks like the American Oncology Network to scale its wraparound care model across community oncology settings.
