Central Minnesota Mental Health Center

What Central Minnesota Mental Health Center does

Central Minnesota Mental Health Center (CMMHC) is a private nonprofit community mental health center founded in 1959, headquartered in Waite Park, Minnesota, and serving the four-county region of Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright Counties. The organization delivers a comprehensive continuum of mental and chemical health services across five physical campuses (Buffalo, Elk River, Monticello, St. Cloud, and Waite Park) plus telehealth, including crisis intervention (Mobile Response Team, Crisis Residential, Child Response Initiative, Co-Responder), adult mental health services (outpatient therapy, psychiatry, DBT, ACT, ARMHS, Adult Day Treatment, Targeted Case Management, Certified Peer Support), children's and family services (CTSS, EIFS, CFPSS, School Linked Mental Health), and chemical health services (outpatient SUD treatment for adults and adolescents, Medication-Assisted Recovery). CMMHC operates as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), a federal designation tied to enhanced Medicaid reimbursement and standards for comprehensive community-based behavioral healthcare.

The organization generates revenue primarily through insurance reimbursement, Medicaid, and Medicare billing for clinical services delivered to adult, child, adolescent, and family clients. Go-to-market is community-based rather than commercial: clients are acquired via direct phone intake (320.252.5010), a 24/7 crisis line, community provider referrals, school-linked programs, and co-responder partnerships with law enforcement. Supporting digital infrastructure includes a client portal (appointment, billing, forms) and telehealth delivery, alongside educational resources such as the Mental Health Navigator, the North Star Quarterly newsletter, and an annual report. The organization also runs community programming at the Salem Cop House (e.g., Cop House Yoga) and other events.

The operating model is led by Richard Lee (Executive Director) and Keven Kiloran (Director of Finance), with Joy Shamla as Data Protection Officer. Management includes Clinical and Program Managers for Rehab Services (Erin Waterbury, MSW/LICSW; Jennifer Eckblad). The ownership structure is community-based, consistent with Minnesota's community mental health center model, with no parent company or institutional investor disclosed and no funding rounds recorded. Headcount sits in the 101-250 range, supporting a regional footprint that functions as the primary behavioral health safety-net provider across its four-county service area.
