NEWS RELEASE: Delta Health Behavioral Health Services
Integrated into Primary Care Clinics
----
Delta, CO (August 8, 2025) – Delta Health is pleased to share an important development in how Outpatient Behavioral Health (OBH) services are delivered. OBH services will now only be offered within Delta Health’s primary care clinics: Adult Primary Care, Family Medicine and the West Elk Clinic Hotchkiss, where they are already fully integrated.
This is part of Delta Health’s ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care.
“This integration is designed to improve continuity of care, enhance access to mental health support, and ensure a more seamless experience for our patients,” said Jonathan Cohee, MHA, OT, and Chief Executive Officer for Delta Health. “By continuing with the integrated approach to behavioral health services within primary care settings, we can better coordinate treatment plans, address concerns earlier, and reduce barriers to care.”
What This Means for Delta Health Patients:
• A more holistic approach to health, with physical and mental health care delivered in the same setting.
• Improved communication between primary care and behavioral health providers.
• Easier access to mental health support during routine visits.
What This Means for Delta Health Staff:
• Primary care teams will continue to work closely with behavioral health clinicians through shared care planning.
• OBH providers will continue to be available on-site at the three designated primary care locations of Delta Health Adult Primary Care, Delta Health Family Medicine and the West Elk Clinic.
Delta Health’s OBH providers assist patients in areas such as developing coping skills to manage emotional or behavioral difficulties, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, lifestyle changes, alcohol or substance misuse and more.
