InterCommunity Health Network (IHN-CCO) has partnered with public health agencies in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties over the past three years to establish 24/7 crisis centers in all three counties. These centers are places where anyone can walk in and get the help they need—whether it’s temporary respite or referral to other providers.
The Benton County Crisis Center will open this spring. Centers in Linn and Lincoln counties are expected to open in early 2026.
Todd Jeter, Associate Vice President of Health Equity and Member Advocacy for IHN-CCO, said the crisis centers are part of an “acute care continuum,” along with efforts to restore inpatient psychiatric capacity.
“Investments like these ensure that people can access timely treatment in their communities. These aren’t just new programs — they are commitments to place, proximity, and equity,” Jeter said.
