One year ago, we launched the first-ever semi-statewide electronic health record system designed for behavioral health. Today it serves 35% of CA’s Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Grateful for the collaboration of the 25 counties using it for cross-county innovation that improves the lives of those they care for.

Reflecting on FY 2023-24 as a year of enormous growth: launching the first ever semi-statewide EHR for behavioral health care, growing the number of Medi-Cal-certified Peers in California to more than 3,500, forging new paths through payment reform and much more. So grateful for our collaboration with county behavioral health departments around the state. https://lnkd.in/gCPKpwT5

County behavioral health teams want to see their neighbors get housed and stay housed for good. They're helping people, 24/7, with the keys to living a healthy life. Heyneighborca.org #behavioralhealth #counties #meaningfullives
