Compass Health

Compass Health CEO Tom Sebastian joined other local health care leaders at the 2024 Healthcare Summit, hosted by the Economic Alliance Snohomish County, this Tuesday to discuss plans to bridge the gap between medical, mental and behavioral health care in Snohomish County. For Compass Health, the key to bridging that gap lies in systemic reform that will help resolve deep-rooted problems within Washington state’s community behavioral health system. That’s why Compass Health and Tom have a been advocating for statewide adoption of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs): A nationally proven, evidence-based approach that will help ensure the sustainability and availability of high-quality community behavioral health care. Fortunately, Washington, as the Everett Herald reported, is on track to pilot the CCBHC model. “After seven years of advocacy,” Sebastian said, “I’m happy to say that Washington is moving forward.” Read more about the event and Tom’s insights at the Healthcare Summit here: https://ow.ly/p1lh50TwMSS Learn more about the CCBHC model here: https://lnkd.in/gzD9Fczg
