“Not only does this expansion move a much-needed service closer to home, but it also allows for better collaboration between care teams, allowing patients to move seamlessly through their behavioral healthcare journey and ultimately leading to fewer emergency visits and hospitalizations,” Mike Rabuka, administrative director of Kettering Health Behavioral Medical Center in Moraine, Ohio, said in a June 4 news release from the health system.
The health system said the expansion of the program will allow for more collaborative care between behavioral health, primary care and emergency services. The intensive outpatient program will continue to be offered at Kettering Health’s Moraine facility.
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.
