The service had a soft launch in October and has already treated more than 100 patients with mental and behavioral health needs. It offers same-day service for crisis evaluation, along with psychiatric medication consultation.

The service also features translation services available for patients in several different languages and is staffed by five clinicians who speak Spanish, the report said.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place October 20–22 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
