COPE was recently featured in The Nation’s Health, a national publication of the American Public Health Association, discussing the expansion of Certified Community Behavioral Health Centers (CCBHC) across the US. Laura Santa Cruz, Director of Integrated Clinics, and Siobhan O’Boyle, Chief Compliance and Operations Officer, were part of the interview for this article, discussing COPE’s services and the future CCBHC programs.
The CCBHC model provides 24/7 crisis services, comprehensive behavioral services in a single location, and care navigation among health and social services so that patients do not fall through the cracks. At COPE, this program is offered through our Northwest Clinic and enhances access to care for individuals dealing with mental health and substance use conditions.
Over 500 CCBHCs have been established in 46 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, with more opening regularly. We are proud to be part of this nationwide effort to increase access to behavioral health services for individuals in need.
