The agency offers integrated primary and behavioral health care through 11 federally qualified health center sites, and peer support for our recovering patients.

The agency also supports the community’s public health with sobering services for people experiencing public intoxication, as well as litter-free streets through our Clean & Safe training program," said Wickstrom.
