The Integrated Behavioral Health Action Coalition (IBHAC) is made up of primary care, mental health, and substance use providers, as well as local hospitals, county agencies, health plans, mental health advocacy organizations, and individual community members. Together, IBHAC members plan to improve system-level integration of primary care and behavioral health services for all persons and to create a collaborative, integrative, and inclusive system of whole-person care in Santa Cruz County.
