Mental health ties grow between Bert Nash and Heartland centers
In 2013 the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and Heartland Community Health Center expanded collaboration with a behavioral health consultant on site. A psychiatric nurse from Bert Nash joined Heartland staff, as a primary care provider also spent time at Bert Nash. Tilden noted up to 70 percent of primary care diagnoses arise from psychological factors. Officials aim to streamline care and lessen stigma around accessing mental health services.
