(County Board of Supervisors to recognize Behavioral Health)...It will be at the next Board of Supervisors meeting.

Imperial County Behavioral Health Services, in partnership with UC San Diego Health, will be recognized for newly accredited Psychiatry Residency Program. They will formally be recognized during a special presentation at the Board's June 10th meeting, for receiving accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to establish a Psychiatry Residency Program. The milestone reflects a two-year collaborative effort supported by a $2.5 million grant awarded in January 2023 by the California Department of Health Care Access and Information. The program is expected to strengthen the local behavioral health workforce and expand access to mental health services in Imperial County.
