Behavioral Health
Our Behavioral Health Consultation services provide brief, immediate services to LCHC providers and their patients in areas such as depression, chronic disease, and behavior change assistance in a variety of areas like weight loss, medication compliance, and lifestyle change. Our Behavioral Health Providers (BHP) are trained in a unique model that allows them to collaborate right alongside our Primary Care Providers (PCP) to enhance care with often same-day service.
