The City of Clovis, along with Curry, Roosevelt, Quay, and De Baca, the City of Portales, Union County and the Village of Fort Sumner, completed a comprehensive feasibility study for a Regional Behavioral Health Facility in partnership with Initium Health, a public benefit company which conducted the study. This study included a needs assessment, gap analysis, financial analysis, benefit analysis, and community engagement. The assessment revealed significant gaps in behavioral health services within the region, particularly in terms of accessibility and proximity to inpatient and crisis care facilities. The study indicates that patients in need of specialized behavioral health services often face significant travel distances, resulting in inadequate access to essential care. This RFI is seeking insights from mental health treatment providers, behavioral health stakeholders, architects and contractors, and other relevant professionals to gather perspectives on the key elements that should be considered during behavioral health facility development and operations.
The City of Clovis is planning the development and rollout of a regional behavioral health center to address the needs identified in the feasibility study. The goal of this facility is to provide accessible and high-quality behavioral health crisis care to the residents of eastern New Mexico. As part of this process, we are seeking insights and expertise through this RFI from behavioral health treatment providers, architects and contractors, and other relevant healthcare professionals to gather perspectives on the elements that should be considered during the facility's development and operation.
