Rosecrance Behavioral Health, North Central Behavioral Health Systems make affiliation official

Rosecrance Behavioral Health and North Central Behavioral Health Systems (NCBHS) are excited to announce their official affiliation, which enhances the quality of resources and expands access to care for individuals and families in central Illinois.

There will be no interruption of care for existing clients; the affiliation agreement leaves leadership and the Board of Directors in place, with NCBHS still leading and managing operations, including staffing. All funding will remain local.

“We are proud to welcome North Central Behavioral Health Systems. They bring a wealth of expertise to our network, particularly in regions where we currently lack representation,” Rosecrance President and CEO Dr. Dave Gomel said. “Their involvement not only enhances the quality of care available but also enriches the overall resources and support we can offer in central Illinois.”

The affiliation will create stronger organizations, providing a full continuum of mental health and substance use treatment services.

Rosecrance has a long, successful history of significant partnerships in behavioral healthcare with other agencies dedicated to a shared mission and core values.

“I am incredibly proud to be a part of this moment between two mission-driven organizations united in their commitment to ensuring the residents of Illinois have access to behavioral health resources,” said NCBHS President and CEO Jodi Mahoney. “Together, we can grow our influence and contribute to positive change in the community.”
