Innovation in Local Government: Montgomery County Behavioral Task Force

Innovation in Local Government – Montgomery County Behavioral Task Force

In January of 2023, the Montgomery County Board of County Commissioners enlisted the Office of Strategic Initiatives and the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association to facilitate a Behavioral Health Task Force comprised of multiple sectors throughout the community, including hospitals, behavioral health providers, the criminal justice systems, and administrative agencies.  This task force aims to foster in-depth discussions between these organizations and formulate recommendations for county-wide opportunities to enhance behavioral health coordination and treatment.  The impact of this work will help ensure all Montgomery County residents can access the necessary treatment and services to live healthy and save lives.
