Behavioral & mental health
Some forms of pain and suffering don’t show up on a scan, and those can be the hardest to face. Our specialized services for autism and mental health conditions begin with hope. After establishing care with a Henry Community Health primary care provider, you can be referred to our outstanding adult or pediatric mental and behavioral health specialists for compassionate, holistic, evidence-based care.
To make an appointment with one of our mental health providers, please talk to your Henry Community Health Care primary care provider for a referral.
