Celebrating Year 2008

In 2008, GHC-SCW expanded its behavioral health services, recognizing the growing need for accessible mental health care within the community. The Cooperative invested in strengthening the connection between primary care and behavioral health teams, helping ensure that mental health concerns could be addressed as part of comprehensive care rather than in isolation. 

By including behavioral health more fully within the clinical model, GHC-SCW worked to reduce stigma, shorten referral pathways and make support more accessible for members. Mental health was no longer viewed as a separate service line. It was becoming an essential component of whole-person care.

Why it matters: Mental health is fundamental to overall health. The expanded behavioral health focus in 2008 helped lay the groundwork for the more integrated and accessible mental health services GHC-SCW provides today.
