Okanogan Behavioral Healthcare

What Okanogan Behavioral Healthcare does

Okanogan Behavioral Healthcare (OBHC) is a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit corporation founded in 2002 and headquartered at 1007 Koala Drive, Omak, Washington. The organization delivers comprehensive behavioral health services across all 18 communities of Okanogan County, a large, low-density rural region in north-central Washington. Its service portfolio spans mental health evaluation and therapy, substance use disorder treatment (including Intensive Outpatient Program and DUI/deferred prosecution services), psychiatric medication management, intellectual/developmental disability support, youth and Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) programs, 24/7 mobile crisis response, and Designated Crisis Responder functions under Washington's Involuntary Treatment Act. Specialized non-clinical offerings include The Shove House therapeutic housing (9 dorm-style and 9 apartment units for individuals in recovery) and the Highland Center drop-in peer support facility.

OBHC operates through four primary delivery channels: in-person services at its Omak headquarters, school-based counseling embedded in six or more county school districts, telehealth (including home, school, and local "Zoom rooms"), and 24/7 mobile crisis response via its DCR team. Underlying technology is modest and operational rather than differentiated: the organization uses Cognito Forms for online enrollment applications, standard phone systems, and Squarespace-hosted web infrastructure; no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML systems, or public APIs are disclosed.

The business model is a government-and-insurance-funded clinical services model. OBHC accepts DSHS Provider One (Medicaid), bills private insurance, accepts court-referred DUI and deferred prosecution work from Okanogan County courts, and operates a sliding-fee discount schedule based on family size and income so that no client is denied services due to inability to pay. GTM is referral-driven rather than sales-led: clients access services through self-serve enrollment, school and court referrals, healthcare provider referrals, and direct phone inquiries. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, OBHC is governed by a 7-13 member Board of Directors and is not venture-backed. Leadership consists of CEO David McClay, CFO Carrie Anthony, and COO Josie Bent, supported by clinical, operations, revenue cycle, compliance, and facilities directors.
