The CMH Behavioral Health Transitional Clinic will be part of CMH’s Butterfield Park Medical Center, also in Bolivar, and will be run by Tara Billingslea, a certified mental health nurse practitioner. It will care for patients 6 years old and up who are unable to get an immediate behavioral health appointment, by referral from a medical provider only.
Ms. Billingslea will provide counseling, medication management and education for patients until they are paired with a CMH behavioral health provider.
The facility will officially open Feb. 1.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 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.
