FROM OUR CEO

Physical, mental and behavioral health interact to shape a person’s overall well-being. By offering behavioral health services

CONTENT

integrated within primary care, OneWorld ensures patients receive timely, coordinated care that improves outcomes, enhances dignity and reduces barriers. OneWorld’s integrated care model includes warm handoffs between a primary care provider and a therapist, to connect patients to behavioral health services during a medical appointment, and collaborative care, an evidence-based approach that brings together the primary care provider, a psychiatrist and a behavioral health therapist. Our unique Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program is a comprehensive approach to treating substance use disorders. Structured conversations to address emotional and psychological challenges, known as traditional therapy, expand OneWorld’s capacity to care for patients. The need for quality, culturally- appropriate health care is only increasing. One way we are answering the call is by expanding our services with the construction of a new facility on our South Omaha Campus. With you as our partner, we can make a lasting impact on our community’s health. Our mission is simple, “Care for All People,” especially the underserved—because everyone deserves access to comprehensive, integrated care.
