Birmingham Group
Health Services, Inc. (BGHS),
a non-profit, CommuniCare organization, licensed by the
Department of Public Health, is a pioneer in providing
innovative, exceptional behavioral healthcare through quality services and programs
that focus on, and respect, the consumer. BGHS
receives funding from the
Department of
Mental Health and Addiction Services,
The
Department of
Social Services, and the
Ryan White Title 1 Program, as well as philanthropic organizations such as The
Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, The Katharine Matthies Foundation,
and the Valley United Way. With over 25 years of experience
in behavioral healthcare, a dedicated staff, committed volunteers, and undying
devotion to mission, BGHS is a leader in helping our community become a
healthier place to live, work, and raise a family.
The mission of
Birmingham Group Health Services, Inc. is to provide quality services which focus on
the recovery and well being of individuals and the health of the community.
These outcome-based, cost-effective services include mental health, substance
abuse, domestic violence, and HIV/AIDS services for Connecticut's Lower Naugatuck
Valley and surrounding communities. These culturally competent services
provide prevention, education, advocacy, rehabilitation, and treatment delivered
through an informed community, strong partnerships, and progressive leadership.
What started
out as the Valley Mental Health Center has blossomed into something larger -
a key component of the Lower Naugatuck Valley's overall healthcare system,
and a major resource for the community. Since it was created in 1979,
the organization has moved from providing solely mental healthcare services
to offering domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, and substance abuse services as
well. The further addition of the Birmingham Foundation has enabled BGHS to move forward a progressive plan to sustain the organization on its
own, and ensure that people who cannot afford care still get the help they
deserve.
Birmingham Group
Health Services will continue to be the foremost healthcare provider in the
state, specializing in mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence,
rehabilitation, prevention, and family services. We will continue to be
highly accessible, customer-driven, cost-effective, efficient, outcome-based,
and integrated with other health systems. We will maintain leadership in
our communities and continue to work with partners to provide the highest
quality services.
