Public mental health system serving Oakland County with integrated disability, mental health, and substance use services
Oakland Community Health Network operates the public mental health system for Oakland County, serving adults and children across intellectual/developmental disabilities, mental health, and substance use disorders. The organization runs on Epic EHR + Microsoft 365 stack typical of healthcare systems, but the hiring and project mix reveals operational scaling challenges: 64 open roles weighted heavily toward clinical staff, with active work on compliance protocols, care coordination, and staff scheduling—all pointing to system fragmentation between court involvement, provider networks, and continuity of care.
Notable leadership hires: Residential Unit Director, Medical Director
