Fresno & the Central Valley in context

The Central Valley faces some of the widest gaps between behavioral health need and available care in the state, with a heavily Medi-Cal population and a persistent provider shortage. That makes new programs genuinely needed — and makes telehealth, county DMC-ODS contracting, and efficient licensing central to reaching a population spread across a large, largely rural region.
