– February 12, 2003 – Signs are changing but services will remain the same for
clients of Island Mental Health in Coupeville, Maxwelton-Langley and Oak
Harbor. The new signs will read:
Compass Health Whidbey Island, and will be installed this spring.
Clients
of the non-profit community behavioral health care agency were notified of the
name change earlier this year.
The change is due to the
merger of Community Mental Health Services (CMHS -- Island Mental Health’s
former parent agency) and Compass Health on Jan. 1 of this year. The decision to merge arose from a
contractual relationship in effect between the two organizations since 2000,
wherein CMHS and Compass Health shared administrative and executive
services. The efficiencies and
economies gained from this relationship strengthened both organizations.
The
new organization provides mental health counseling and chemical dependency
treatment for approximately 20,000 children, families, adults and older adults
throughout Island, San Juan, Skagit and Snohomish counties.
