Burrell Behavioral & Fordland Clinic To Form Primary Care Strategic Affiliation

On April 10, 2019, Burrell Behavioral Health (Burrell) in southwest Missouri announced it had signed a letter of intent for a strategic affiliation with Fordland Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Center that provides primary care and dental services in the same region. The agreement would allow consumers using Burrell's behavioral health services to also receive primary care at its Main Center in Springfield without traveling to a different location. Fordland Clinic will expand its behavioral health services by integrating with Burrell at its current clinics in Webster and Stone counties. The goal is to help both organizations increase capacity . . .
