Doing More With Less: How Counties Can Successfully Address Behavioral Health Crisis Response Needs

Thursday, August 20, 2026 | 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. ET

Increased workforce strain and rising complex care needs test county health departments’ ability to deliver high-quality care. Join John Eller, Regional Director of Health Management Associates and Kevin Denmark, Senior Vice President of Behavioral Health at Bamboo Health, for a practical discussion on strategies county health departments can use to maximize resources and improve care outcomes.

This webinar, in partnership with the National Association of Counties, will explore:
  • How automated real-time data and crisis management response tools help county health leaders improve care outcomes, workforce satisfaction and the bottom line
  • Key considerations for supporting high-need, complex populations, such as justice-involved individuals, Medicaid recipients and rural residents with limited access
  • Why the crisis care continuum is a critical area of focus for improving clinical and financial outcomes
Whether you're a county health officer, behavioral health director, or a local administrator navigating the realities of constrained resources, this session will give you a tangible roadmap for turning real-time technology into your most powerful and scalable workforce multiplier.
