National mental healthcare provider Concert Health has teamed with Raleigh, N.C.-based health system Med First to integrate mental health services into its primary care centers.
Concert Health will be integrated into Med First's facilities in North and South Carolina; 25 percent to 30 percent of those sites lack mental healthcare providers, according to a Dec. 16 news release from Concert Health.
The centers will have mental health practitioners on-site who will provide checkups and medication management and develop coping strategies, according to the release. Each location also will have a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner to develop care plans.
