Operated by Connections Health Solutions, the complex features the Crisis Receiving Center (CRC) — a walk-in regional crisis facility with dedicated treatment spaces for adults and youth aged 12 and above — as well as co-located outpatient and community behavioral health services. Together, these elements aim to offer a safe, therapeutic alternative to hospital emergency rooms or incarceration for individuals in crisis, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.
