Third Horizon is pleased to announce that Phase 1 of the Lee County Behavioral Health System of Care project has been successfully completed.
Lee County, Florida launched a strategic initiative to enhance and transform its Behavioral Health System of Care with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR).
Through a competitive process, Lee County selected Third Horizon, LLC to lead a project to plan the Behavioral Health System of Care which began in September 2024. The project consists of four distinct phases:
- Phase 1 (September 2024 – January 2025): a thorough assessment of Lee County’s behavioral health system
- Phase 2 (January 2025 – December 2025): an in-depth analysis of the initial findings and recommendations to address identified issues; creation of a comprehensive report summarizing all findings, recommendations to improve behavioral health services and access across Lee County
Third Horizon’s research in Phase 1 found that Lee County has invested significant time and resources to understand local behavioral needs, available services, and resources.
Mindy Klowden, Managing Director for Behavioral Health, led the project with assistance from Tym Rourke, Elveena Fareedi, Alex Hryhorzcuk, Caleb Allen, and Bobby Schenck.
