Regional behavioral‑health provider reports growth, pilot mobile crisis response in Pratt County

A regional behavioral‑health representative updated Pratt County commissioners on service growth and new programs during the commission meeting.

The representative said the provider served 334 individuals and delivered roughly 2,100 services in the July–September quarter, driven largely by community psychiatric support and therapy. On finances, the speaker reported gross patient revenues in the $3.5 million to $4 million range and net patient revenue between about $2 million and $2.6 million; total operating revenue ranged near $2.3 million to $2.9 million across the three months. "We're sitting in a year to date EBITDA of $1,700,000," the representative said.

Officials said rapid growth is creating space pressures. The speaker said the agency purchased an adjacent building and plans to expand into it, and has added staff: "We've hired 2 PRN case managers to do mobile crisis here in Pratt," the representative said, describing the PRN hires as a step toward 24/7 mobile crisis coverage.

The provider described a pilot for court‑ordered outpatient treatment that pairs court orders with active outreach: "We do a better job of engaging, and we go find the individual," the speaker said. The report also highlighted use of peer‑support workers—people with lived experience—to raise engagement for substance‑use and other treatments.

Commissioners asked about coordination with law enforcement and jails; the representative said they are working with the sheriff's office to serve people who may need psychiatric care and that some regional capacity in Reno County has reduced pressure on state hospitals.

The presentation closed with a request for continued county support as the provider manages facility expansion and program rollout. No formal county funding action was taken at the meeting.
