Who We Are

The 26 licensed Community Health Centers (CMHCs) have a combined staff of over 4,500 providing mental health services in every county of the state in over 120 locations. Together they form an integral part of the total mental health system in Kansas.

Our Primary Goal

The primary goal of CMHCs is to provide quality care, treatment and rehabilitation to individuals with mental health problems in the least restrictive environment. The CMHCs provide services to all those needing it, regardless of economic level, age or type of illness. The CMHCs strongly endorse treatment at the community level, in order to allow individuals to keep functioning in their own homes and communities, at a considerably reduced cost to them, third-party payers, and/or the taxpayer.

Accountability

The 26 licensed CMHCs operating in Kansas have a separate duly elected and/or appointed board of directors. Each of these boards is accountable to the citizens served, county officials, the state legislature, and the Governor, and all have reporting responsibilities to the national level of government.

Shared Governance

Community Mental Health Centers are more than just another group of providers. They are the countyâ€™s legally delegated authorities to manage mental health care in Kansas. These CMHCs function as the local mental health authorities. As such, the Kansas mental health system is a relationship of shared governance between two governmental entities â€“ the state and the counties.

Vision, Mission & Values

Vision

We envision that the statewide system of CMHCs will be a leader in developing healthy communities. Working with local, state, and national partners, our system will deliver services that are recovery-focused, innovative, accessible, and driven by community, consumer, and family needs.

Excellence in all facets of our work. We are public servants and must get quality results by leveraging and expanding our professional expertise. Our stakeholders and consumers expect us to be reliable, effective and efficient. We will pursue excellence by being progressive in our thinking and innovative in our services.

Forthrightness and accountability in all our relationships. We respect the human dignity of our consumers and the commitment of our stakeholders.
