Georgia Pines

What Georgia Pines does

Georgia Pines Community Service Board is a public, not-for-profit safety-net behavioral health provider designated by the State of Georgia under the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD). Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Thomasville, Georgia, the organization delivers mental health, addictive disease, and intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) services across six rural southwest Georgia counties — Colquitt, Decatur, Grady, Mitchell, Thomas, and Seminole — operating through approximately 300 direct-care and support staff. Service delivery channels include four Open Access walk-in clinics, a 24/7 Behavioral Health Crisis Center, residential treatment programs, school-based mental health sites, community IDD homes, and Assertive Community Treatment teams serving an expanded ten-county catchment.

The service portfolio is organized around three core product lines — Mental Health Services, Addictive Disease Services, and Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Programs — supplemented by Inpatient/Residential Programs and Child and Adolescent Services. Operational infrastructure includes four Open Access clinics (Thomasville, Moultrie, Bainbridge, Pelham), a BHCC housing a 24-bed Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit and 6-bed Temporary Observation Unit, a 50-bed Phoenix Short-Term Residential program in Thomasville, a 16-bed Hilltop Lodge Recovery Residence in Baconton, and the ten-apartment Robert's Place Transitional Housing program. Underlying technology supports include VSee-based telehealth delivery for individuals age six and older, a 24/7 Georgia Crisis and Access Line, a Microsoft SSO-enabled staff portal, and the Georgia Apex Project placing clinicians in schools across six county and city school districts. The organization maintains Joint Commission accreditation.

Georgia Pines does not operate a commercial revenue model. Its funding base is composed of state appropriations through DBHDD, county contributions from the six counties served, Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements, an opioid crisis grant award (selected among 128 Georgia-funded projects), and payment-assistance programs for eligible Georgia residents without Medicaid or Medicare coverage; services are delivered regardless of ability to pay. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with county representation from each of the six counties, and a Management Team led by CEO Robert (R.J.) Hurn, who has served over 20 years. An affiliated 501(c)(3), Pines of Promise, addresses charitable needs such as food, clothing, and supplies for clients. Patient access relies on community outreach, awareness events, referral partnerships with hospitals and primary care providers, the Georgia Crisis and Access Line, school-based clinicians, and a minimal organic social presence on Facebook and X/Twitter.
