Rosecrance, North Central Behavioral Health Systems partner to expand central Illinois services
ROCKFORD, Ill. (November 4, 2024) — Rosecrance Behavioral Health and North
Central Behavioral Health Systems have signed a letter of intent to join together in an
exciting opportunity to combine quality resources and expand services and access to
care for individuals and families in central Illinois.
The behavioral health providers have entered the due diligence phase for an affiliation
agreement to explore financial, operational, and clinical documents and practices.
There will be no interruption of care for existing clients; the affiliation agreement leaves
leadership and the Board of Directors in place, with North Central Behavioral Health
Systems still leading and managing operations, including staffing. All funding will remain
local.
“We know there is a great need for behavioral health treatment, and this affiliation will
allow us to combine resources to better serve and sustain the services for children,
youth, adults and families in need of treatment,” Rosecrance President and CEO Dr.
Dave Gomel said. “We are stronger together.”
The affiliation will create a stronger overall organization, providing a full continuum of
mental health and substance use treatment services.
Rosecrance has a long, successful history of significant partnerships in behavioral
healthcare with other agencies dedicated to a shared mission and core values.
“Our organizations have known each other for many years,” North Central President
and CEO Jodi Mahoney said. “Together we have identified numerous synergies that
exist between us. Most important is our shared commitment to our clients and the
communities we serve.”
