community health alliance

The director of Greater Oregon Behavioral Health Incorporated (GOBHI) accuses the board of Douglas County’s startup nonprofit mental health provider of rushing to give away the organization’s assets to a competitor in violation of the Community Health Alliance’s bylaws.

Community Health Alliance (CHA), the non-profit organization that now manages the full array of mental health services for all Douglas County residents, is vacating the Douglas County Health Department building and opening two new offices on Mercy Medical’s campus in Roseburg.

January 30, 2012—A group of nine healthcare providers in Douglas County are forming the state’s first coordinated care organization (CCO), calling it “the Community Health Alliance.” The provider groups include Douglas County Independent Physician’s Association (DCIPA), Douglas County’s Health and Human Services Department, Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc. (GOBHI), Mercy Medical Center, Umpqua Community Health Center, Advantage Dental, and ADAPT, which provides substance abuse and addictions treatment and recovery services.
