Columbia Community Mental Health

What Columbia Community Mental Health does

Columbia Community Mental Health (CCMH) is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit behavioral health agency founded July 15, 1975, serving as the designated mental health, addiction, and developmental disability services provider for Columbia County, Oregon. The organization operates eight facilities in St. Helens, Oregon — including the Creekside Campus (main office), Jennifer Warren Center (peer drop-in), The Jordan Center (social engagement), MountainView (administrative), and three residential treatment facilities (Pathways for substance use, Alternatives for Psychiatric Security Review Board clients, and Cornerstone for psychiatric residential treatment) — plus an outpatient Community Based Services office for the Developmental Disabilities Program. CCMH delivers a comprehensive care continuum: walk-in assessment clinics, outpatient mental health counseling, 24/7 crisis intervention (telephone, walk-in, and mobile response), addiction treatment (outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential), youth and family counseling, a 12-18 month Wraparound Program, and intellectual/developmental disability services spanning case management, supported employment, and protective services.

The organization runs on the OCHIN Epic electronic health record system with MyChart patient portal for client engagement, and integrates with the Unite Us community resource referral network. The underlying technology is standard safety-net healthcare infrastructure rather than proprietary IP. Its Creekside Primary Care Clinic, launched in 2025 in partnership with OHSU Family Medicine, represents a 'reverse integration' model bridging primary and behavioral health, presented at the 42nd Annual Oregon Rural Health Conference.

CCMH's revenue model is predominantly government-funded: Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) and Medicare reimbursement for clinical services, Oregon Health Authority grants for crisis services and capital projects, and a sliding fee scale based on family size and income for uninsured Oregon residents, with commercial insurance accepted only on a limited case-by-case basis. Crisis services are provided at no cost via grant funding. The organization launched its first annual fundraising gala in October 2025 to diversify revenue. CCMH has no parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership, and is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Jerimy Kelley, with Todd Jacobson serving as Executive Director.
