Improving Health Through Leadership and Innovation
The Integrated Health Services branch is designed to increase efficiency, coordination and integration of the state’s mental health and addiction prevention and treatment programs with the delivery of primary healthcare, including chronic disease prevention, treatment and management. It comprises two divisions: the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services and the Division of Community Health Services.
The Division of Community Health Services includes:
Office of Primary Care and Rural Health
To advance the goal of integration, the Department established an Integrated Health Advisory Panel with expertise in clinical services, medical care, policy, legal issues, and technology.
The Department has provided this guidance to facilitate the integration of outpatient care for physical, mental health, and substance use disorder facilities licensed by the Department.
