California OnTrack, a trusted leader in Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) for teens and young adults, is now part of Pand Health—a transformation reflecting a broader mission to redefine the mental healthcare landscape beyond treatment centers and into policy, education, and systemic change.
Founded in 2022 as part of Lucidity Behavioral Health, California OnTrack was established to deliver best-in-class care for psychosis and schizophrenia through methodologies that augment traditional Coordinated Specialty Care, the gold standard for early psychosis intervention. With the success of its unique Coordinated Specialty Care+ model, California OnTrack’s outcome-driven program for adolescents is partially funded by the State of California through its Early Psychosis Intervention Plus initiative. The company participates in the California Early Psychosis Training and Technical Assistance Center, solidifying California OnTrack’s leading role in advancing EPI and mental health care in the state.

While California OnTrack is one of only a few early psychosis clinical treatment programs, Pand Health is now positioned to scale the program’s successes into a broader movement.
“Through our work with patients and families, it became clear that recovery isn’t just about treatment,” said Rachael Simonoff Wexler, Pand Health’s Co-founder and CEO. “It’s also about breaking stigma, expanding insurance coverage, and addressing systemic barriers that prevent people from receiving timely care.”

This realization prompted the evolution of Lucidity Behavioral Health into Pand Health, a name that stands for “Psychiatry and…”—signifying that psychiatry is just the beginning. Pand Health goes beyond individual psychiatry to redefine the broader landscape of mental illness, integrating research, innovation, education, and advocacy.
“Pand Health was born from a simple, transformative question: What if mental healthcare could do more?” said Dr. Eric Wexler, Co-founder and Medical Director of Pand Health. “We’re creating a future where mental illness is understood, not feared.”
