CenterPointe

What CenterPointe does

CenterPointe is a Nebraska-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit healthcare organization, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Lincoln, that provides integrated behavioral health, primary care, crisis response, and housing services across more than 40 programs. The organization operates two main campuses — the Campus for Health & WellBeing in Lincoln (2202 S. 11th Street) and the Campus for Hope in Omaha (1490 N. 16th Street) — and serves approximately 6,265 individuals per year, including adults with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, youth and adolescents, veterans, individuals experiencing homelessness, and low-income populations (many earning under $1,000/year). Service delivery is built around a bio-psycho-social model that combines outpatient therapy, residential treatment (AnchorPointe, StartingPointe, Community Transitions), primary care, peer support, and 24/7 crisis response including a 24-hour crisis line (402-475-6695), mobile crisis response, the Co-Responder Program with Lincoln PD (launched March 2025), and the SquareOne youth crisis program covering a 16-county Region V catchment area. The organization is a SAMHSA-designated Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) and holds CARF accreditation, state licensing, and HIPAA + 42 CFR Part 2 compliance.

The underlying technology platform consists of an integrated electronic health record (EHR) system with real-time data analytics, standardized clinical assessment tools (DLA-20, Life Worth Living Pathway for suicide care), and Lean Six Sigma continuous quality improvement processes. CenterPointe supplements direct services with digital intake forms (available in English, Spanish, Kurdish, and Arabic), a telehealth consent workflow, and Nebraska's first Narcan vending machine at the Lincoln campus. The technology is functional rather than differentiated — there is no evidence of AI/ML, no public API, and no proprietary software product.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: federal grants (SAMHSA CCBHC funding 93.696, Mental Health Block Grant 93.958, Substance Abuse Block Grant 93.959 — approximately $1.58M disclosed for FY2026), state funding through Nebraska DHHS and Region V/VI Behavioral Healthcare ($1.89M disclosed for FY2026, representing 10% of those regional authorities' contracted spend), third-party reimbursement from Medicaid/Medicare and private insurance (with credentialed provider constraints limiting Medicare billability to MSW, APRN, LIMHP, and LMHP visits), and individual donations/philanthropy amplified through Lincoln Community Foundation's Give to Lincoln Day matching program. The organization employs 251-500 staff and is governed by a Board of Directors led by Chair Joel Clements, with Topher Hansen (32-year CEO) succeeded by Tami Lewis-Ahrendt effective July 1, 2025.
