"Efficient Mental Health Services"
(2014)

There is a new mental health facility in Peoria County that can act as a central resource for individuals who need assistance. The discussion will center on how to streamline mental health services so organizations do not operate in "silos." The discussion will also look at the county jail, as the single largest unit of housing for people with mental health issues, and hospital emergency departments, where many persons with mental health problems first turn. Guests: Dr. Jack Gilligan - President/CEO, Human Service Center Mike McCoy - Sheriff, Peoria County Dr. Leon Yeh - Medical Director, OSF Saint Francis Emergency Services Dean Steiner - Executive Director, Unity Point Behavioral Health Services Original Air Date: 02/06/2014
