Get to Know Us!

We Are Committed to Fostering and Leading Progressive Work

Our Mission:

Improve the quality of mental healthcare systems for all.

Team Task

We focus our efforts toward improving facilities and programs that provide care through services for our community mental health, behavioral health and long term care. Our mission has always remained the same to support quality of care, client experience and safety while nurturing community partnerships.

Often behavioral health is overlooked within the healthcare industry – but these services are essential within our communities and often serve vulnerable clients who deserve quality care in a safe and supportive environment.

 

IHCC collaborate directly with SAMH and MH community programs to ensure quality of care through a proactive compliance approach.

 

We believe in the power of knowledge-sharing, integrity, and community responsibility. That’s why we continue our commitment to improving the quality of care for all by investing in our local community, partnering with you, and using continual learning to broaden access to training and educational resources that promote compliance, quality services and care for those we serve.
