Each year, CBHC honors the efforts of our community mental health centers’ achievements in the realms of clinical and non-clinical innovation. This year, due to COVID-19, we chose to do a virtual awards ceremony to celebrate our winners.
The Golden Lightbulb Award (clinical) went to Southeast Health Group for their Pain Management Program while the Golden Abacus Award (non-clinical) went to Community Reach Center for their project Enabling Middle Management to Thrive Through Utilization of Business Intelligence and Data Analytics Tools.
