Connections Health Solutions

Provides 24/7 crisis behavioral health care

Connections Health Solutions provides 24/7 behavioral health crisis care through crisis response centers that include walk-in urgent care, a 23-hour psychiatric observation unit, a crisis stabilization unit, and outpatient programs. It stabilizes patients quickly in a least-restrictive setting and works with state and local governments, health plans, nonprofits, and law enforcement to build value-based crisis systems that reduce unnecessary hospital admissions. It differentiates itself by operating specialized behavioral health facilities instead of EDs, accepts all patients regardless of insurance or acuity, and partners with agencies to lower overall healthcare costs. Its goal is to scale community-based crisis systems that improve patient outcomes and expand access to this model across more regions.
