Reno, Nev.-based Renown Health reopened its Crisis Care Center in Sparks, Nev., following a closure in April due to the termination of federal American Rescue Plan Act funding, according to a Nov. 11 report from 2 News Nevada.
The facility is now funded through Nevada’s 988 crisis response fee, a 35-cent surcharge on all phone lines that support crisis services statewide. Nevada is among the first states to implement this funding model, according to the report.
The center provides 24/7 short-term behavioral health crisis intervention and stabilization services.
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.
