Proposal to preserve CCBHC-compatible services while expanding into outpatient care - Netcare Corporation's (Netcare's) CCBHC project will serve 200 clients annually. Over 4 years, it will serve 520 unduplicated individuals with SMI/SED/SUD/COD who live in Franklin County, Ohio. Clients will receive comprehensive, evidence-based behavioral health (BH) and primary care (PC) services.

With CCBHC funding, enrollment will focus on clients transitioning from crisis into ongoing, evidence- and team-based outpatient treatment. As a subpopulation of focus, the CCBHC will monitor access and outcomes disparities among Black/African American individuals served.
