Celebrating Success: BHN's Integrated Behavioral Health Program

August 26, 2024

Staff members from BHN's Integrated Behavioral Health program came together to celebrate the program's success after completing contracts with several health centers.


BHN's Integration Department began with a SAMHSA grant in 2012, offering flexible behavioral health support in the primary care setting at Baystate Mason Square clinic in Springfield and Holyoke Health Center. The support provided was person-centered and evidence-informed, focusing on collaborative goal setting to improve the health outcomes of the individuals served.


Over the next twelve years, the program expanded and partnered with Baystate Brightwood, Wesson, and High St. clinics, Chicopee Health Center, as well as several private practices including Valley Medical Associates, Redwood Pediatrics, Pioneer Valley Pediatrics, Holyoke Pediatrics, Family Medicine Associates, and Pediatric Associates of Hampden County.


In 2023, BHN completed its contracts with Holyoke and Chicopee Health Centers and concluded its contract with Baystate Community Health Centers in 2024. Contracts with all private practice locations were also finalized. BHN remains an active partner at Baystate Wesson Women's Clinic. 


The program has had a positive impact on both staff and individuals served, creating a lasting legacy. BHN's Integration program provided over 85,000 services from 2012 to 2024, benefiting over 19,500 individuals in greater Springfield, Westfield, and Holyoke. The program employed over 100 staff and 40 interns from eleven colleges and universities, and many of them are still working at BHN today. Thank you to our BHN staff, partners, and individuals who served to contribute to the success of BHN's Integrated Behavioral Health program!
