Vantage Health System

What Vantage Health System does

Vantage Health System is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit behavioral health organization headquartered in Dumont, New Jersey, that has operated continuously since 1957. It provides a full continuum of mental health, addiction, and senior care services across Bergen County through two outpatient offices in Dumont and Englewood, four group homes, four supportive housing residences (including Van Sciver Supportive Housing in Closter and Driscoll House), and community-based programs. Its service portfolio includes outpatient mental health, addiction and substance use treatment, gambling addiction counseling with CGAC-certified specialists, residential services, the Northern Valley Adult Day Health Center, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP/IOP day treatment), support groups, and community training programs such as Mental Health First Aid and QPR Suicide Prevention.

The organization serves approximately 4,000 individuals annually regardless of insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay, and operates under a trauma-informed, person-centered care model. Its core technology stack consists of the Qualifacts/Carelogic electronic health record system, which supports the Behavioral Health Home integrated care model. Clinical staff includes board-certified psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), LADCs, Advanced Practice Nurses, and bilingual English/Spanish providers. The organization is CARF accredited (gold standard in health and human services) and licensed by the NJ Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS).

Revenue is generated through a hybrid of fee-for-service insurance reimbursement (Medicaid, Medicare, NJ FamilyCare, and commercial plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and UHC), state and federal grants (HUD, HMFA, DMHAS, DDD), individual and corporate donations supplemented by an annual Golf Classic fundraiser, and a sliding fee scale for uninsured clients. Recent strategic actions include the June 2025 opening of Driscoll House to expand supportive housing, the April 2025 appointment of Teresa McMahon as President & CEO, the integration of primary care (CHOP) and toxicology laboratory (Clarity Labs) services, and ongoing community-based training partnerships under the Stigma Free Bergen County initiative.
