Integrated Health Care

Integrated primary care is a service that combines behavioral health and medical services to more fully address the spectrum of problems that patients bring to their primary medical care providers.  Southern Illinois Regional Social Services Inc. (SIRSS), Shawnee Health Service, and The H Group recognize the value of primary and behavioral health collaboration and want to improve outcomes for the populations of southern Illinois.  Together, these partners have launched an innovative team-based model in which medical and mental health providers work together to facilitate the detection, treatment, and follow-up of psychiatric disorders in the primary care setting.  This integrated model allows patients to feel that, for almost any problem, they have come to the right place.
