Calaveras County supervisors hosted a noontime groundbreaking ceremony for a new Behavioral Health Building at the government center in San Andreas. Supervisors were joined by county staff and representatives from the California Department of Health Care Services. The event recognized the start of construction on the new facility designed to improve access to care, enhance service delivery, and support the long-term behavioral health needs of the community.
This project is funded through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), a State of California grant program administered by the California Department of Health Care Services that supports the development of behavioral health infrastructure and expands capacity across the behavioral health continuum of care. The open-to-the-public groundbreaking was held at the government center at 891 Mountain Ranch Road in San Andreas in front of the old buildings (L, M and N).
The Board of Supervisors meeting included other notable items such as a presentation from the Resource Connection about childcare services, a presentation from Behavioral Health and Aegis Treatment Centers, LLC, about a proposed mobile medication unit to provide opioid treatment services, and a discussion about transitioning the Office of Emergency Services to the Sheriff’s Department. The construction project represents a significant investment in behavioral health infrastructure for the county.
