Family Care Center Expands to Tucson

In a significant move to enhance mental health services in Arizona, Family Care Center has inaugurated a new outpatient clinic in Tucson. This initiative aims to tackle the escalating behavioral health issues that the state currently faces. As one of the leading mental health providers in the nation, Family Care Center is stepping up to offer essential services designed to cater to the growing demand in the community.

The Tucson clinic, strategically located just three miles west of the University of Arizona, is the third addition to the Family Care Center's Arizona locations since the previous fall, with another clinic scheduled to open in June. This timely expansion aligns with alarming data revealing that over one million adults in Arizona suffer from mental health conditions annually. Strikingly, more than 321,000 individuals do not receive the necessary care, leading to a widespread mental health crisis impacting families and individuals of all ages.

Wayne Cavanaugh, CEO of Family Care Center, expressed the urgency of this expansion by stating, "Access to mental health care in Tucson has been a significant challenge for many residents. Far too many people still suffer in silence or face obstacles to getting help." This sentiment underlines the center’s commitment to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and providing accessible, patient-centered care for the Tucson community.

The services offered at the Tucson clinic encompass a wide range of options, including individual and group therapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and specialized treatment like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an FDA-approved non-invasive procedure aimed at alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety for patients aged 15 and older. A multidisciplinary team comprising licensed therapists, psychiatrists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners collaborates to ensure comprehensive care for individuals and families.

Dr. Mireille Reece, the Regional Director of Family Care Center in Arizona, highlighted the need for such clinics, stating, "Opening our new Tucson clinic is a direct response to the growing demand for accessible, compassionate mental health care in our community. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals can access the tools and care they need to achieve lasting wellness."

Currently, the Tucson clinic is actively welcoming new patients, with the majority of appointments available within a week of signup.

Family Care Center is known for its dedication to positively impacting community well-being through evidence-based mental health care. The organization prides itself on delivering exceptional care, with a focus on patient outcomes across various age groups. In addition to therapy and psychiatric services, Family Care Center leads in innovative treatments such as TMS, further establishing its presence in the rapidly growing mental health sector.

With over 35 locations in key states such as Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, Family Care Center is poised for further expansion, underpinned by its collaboration with Revelstoke Capital Partners. Their commitment to improving mental health access signifies a hopeful turn for communities grappling with behavioral health challenges, especially in regions like Tucson that have been critically underserved for too long.
