Last week we "cut the ribbon" to officially open the new Behavioral Health Urgent Care facility in Rockingham County, and this week we welcomed our first clients to the facility.
We are thrilled to serve the community of Rockingham County with this new service, which allows those experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis an alternative option in their time of need.
Daymark CEO, Billy West, explained "Without the vision of the Rockingham County Commissioners, hard work of the Rockingham County Managers Office and Rockingham County Legislators we would not have the vision nor funding for a BHUC." He added "Without the support of Vaya Health, we would not have the continued support to sustain services like these."
We are thrilled to share that Daymark Recovery Services is now celebrating twenty years of dedicated service to the communities of North Carolina.
While founded in August of 2003, Daymark officially took over services from the Davidson County Mental Health Center (a county department of government) on January 1, 2004, and delivered our first day of services in Lexington on January 2, 2004. Over the past twenty years, we have provided care to 349,645 unduplicated persons.
At Daymark, we are passionate about whole-person care and the use of technology to improve the way we deliver it. At the recent i2i conference in Winston Salem, we were presented with an award that highlights our accomplishments in Technology Innovation. Both Billy West, CEO, and Jerold Greer, CIO, recognized various teams across the organization for their contributions to the delivery of Technology-Enabled Whole Person Care.
Daymark was recently named a finalist for an Excellence In Clinical Care award and recognized for the services our teams provide each and every day to the communities we serve.
Daymark celebrated one year of Tailored Care Management (TCM) services on December 1, 2023. During the first year of this pivotal program, which allows eligible clients the opportunity to work with a care team to ensure all physical, behavioral and social health needs are met, 338 staff across the organization provided TCM services to more than 5,000 individuals throughout the communities of North Carolina. We look forward to many more years of providing TCM services.
