Family Connections has recently become a Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC). This means that not only will we continue to provide our high-quality mental health and substance use services, but we will also be working with other community organizations and healthcare facilities to provide our clients with coordinated comprehensive support.
One of the many new services being offered to Family Connections’ CCBHC clients is a mobile healthcare unit, in partnership with Newark Community Health Centers (NCHC). The mobile unit will be onsite twice a month and provide services like COVID vaccines, flu shots, internal medicine, and dentistry.
This mobile unit is a HUGE step in the right direction to supporting our clients’ overall healthcare needs.
We are just ecstatic about this partnership and the ability for our clients to receive primary health care services right in our backyard!
