Individual, group, family and couples counseling is available. The organization recognizes the interplay between physical and mental health and provides services and programs when and where patients need it most – at their primary care office, school, home, or nearest outpatient facility.

“Community Reach Center is leading the advancement of behavioral healthcare within its communities,” said Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, chief growth & strategy officer and executive vice president at NextGen Healthcare. “We’re honored to be chosen as the technology partner that will help increase access to mental and physical health services throughout the area and elevate patient care and outcomes.”

This enables our staff to share patient information across providers securely and allows them to spend more time with clients.”

In addition to utilizing NextGen® Enterprise, Community Reach Center will leverage NextGen® Behavioral Health Suite, NextGen Virtual Visits™, NextGen® Mobile, and NextGen® Managed Cloud Services.
