NABH Member Hosts Congressional Site Visit
NABH member Signature Healthcare Services’ Aurora San Diego hospital recently hosted Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.), who toured the facility and met with hospital leaders to discuss some the biggest challenges facing the behavioral healthcare industry.
Aurora San Diego provides mental health and substance abuse services both on an inpatient and outpatient basis for children, adolescents, adults and older adults. Aurora also has a highly regarded military treatment program for active duty members who are working through combat-related trauma, general mental health issues and substance use disorders.
Rep. Peters and hospital leaders discussed addressing the opioid crisis and removing some outdated federal barriers to care, including the Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD) exclusion that prevents adult Medicaid beneficiaries from accessing acute care in facilities with more than 16 beds, and Medicare’s 190-day lifetime limit on inpatient care in a psychiatric hospital.
Following his tour, Rep. Peters hosted a Town Hall-style meeting with about 50 Aurora employees from across all disciplines to discuss the need for more resources to address mental health for service members and veterans.
For information and help coordinating a congressional site visit, please contact Julia E. Richardson, NABH’s director of advocacy and senior counsel, at julia@nabh.org.

NAPHS Becomes National Association for Behavioral Healthcare
WASHINGTON, DC (March 19, 2018) —The Board of Trustees of the former National Association of Psychiatric Health Systems (NAPHS) announced the association has changed its name to the National Association for Behavioral Healthcare (NABH), effective Monday, March 19, 2018.
“Today, our country’s behavioral healthcare challenges seem greater than ever,” said NABH President/CEO Mark Covall.
“The opioid crisis, high rate of suicide, and spate of mass shootings remind us every day why our members are critical players in America’s healthcare continuum,” he continued. “Our nation’s behavioral health needs are as complex as they are numerous. That’s why we decided our association’s name should better reflect all our members and the comprehensive range of services they provide.” |
Last fall, the Board agreed the new association name should:
- Reflect the association’s Mission to advocate for behavioral healthcare and represent the providers who deliver care to those with mental health and substance use disorders;
- Reflect the association’s Vision of a society where behavioral healthcare is recognized, respected, and allocated resources with fairness and equity as part of overall health;
- Represent the association’s diverse membership; and
- Invite other organizations to join the association.
“For 85 years, our association’s members have cared for those with mental health and substance use disorders, and always looked ahead to new treatments, programs and services,” said NABH Board Chair Brent Turner. “Our Board understood that our new name should build on our association’s excellent and longstanding work—and, more important, position the association for the future.”
Also Monday, the Board introduced NABH’s social media channels on Twitter (@NABHbehavioral), LinkedIn and YouTube. The announcements came on the first day of the 2018 NABH Annual Meeting (#NABH18), which will take place at the Mandarin Oriental Washington, DC through Wednesday. Guest speakers at the meeting include Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use Elinore McCance-Katz, M.D., Ph.D., former NFL player and behavioral healthcare advocate Ryan Leaf, former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, Sen. Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.), Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.), and Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.)
