According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, 82 areas in the state are medically underserved. NAMI Arizona, an affiliate of The National Alliance on Mental Illness, reports that more than 2.8 million Arizona residents live in a community with a shortage of mental health professionals.
Spectrum’s driving mission is to meet these needs by providing integrated mind-body care for patients of all ages and backgrounds. In addition to offering in-person services at its seven locations across Arizona, Spectrum offers both telehealth and in-home services. The growth-minded organization also operates mobile crisis teams in portions of the state and partners with local school systems to provide on-campus student care.
“For nearly six decades we have been dedicated to bringing vital services to our communities, and ensuring accessible, whole-person care for our communities,” said April Rhodes, chief executive officer, Spectrum Healthcare. “We chose NextGen Healthcare as our partner because of our shared vision for using innovative technology solutions to elevate healthcare delivery and address Arizona’s shortage of healthcare providers.”
“Spectrum Healthcare is meeting a tremendous need in their communities and NextGen Healthcare is honored to support their life-changing work,” said Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, president and chief operating officer, NextGen Healthcare. “Together, we will make a lasting impact throughout the state by creating greater access to care.”
