At Bland County Medical Clinic we realize that our patients’ mental health is just as important as their physical health, and in fact the two go hand-in-hand. Many individuals seek behavioral health services when habits, stress or emotional challenges disrupt their daily lives. These disruptions can cause major issues with a patient’s overall well-being. At Bland County Medical Clinic, we provide a wide array of behavioral health services that can benefit our patients as well as their families. Our integrated approach ensures that behavioral health support can be woven into our patients’ primary care experience. Our skilled behavioral health team collaborates with each patient to design and implement a personalized care plan in an attempt to address any issues that the patient might be experiencing. We offer services for children, adolescents, adults and seniors, available both individually and in group settings.
