This program aims to enhance the typical primary care team to include a Behavioral Health Manager and a Psychiatric Consultant. In the program, the patient will receive monthly contact from the Behavioral Health Manager to help the patient reach their mental health goals. The Behavioral Health Manager will assess a patient's treatment adherence, tolerability, and clinical response. Throughout the program, the referring doctor will be updated by the Behavioral Health Manager and the Psychiatric Consultant on the patient’s progress.

In the world we live today with HMOs and specialists it's hard to find a doctor who really cares. A doctor who takes the time needed to solve your problem. I'm writing this letter to thank you, Dr. Kale, for your help with my CPAP Mask. It has made all the difference. Since my visit with you a few days ago I have slept through the night. It has been a very long time since I have slept this well. Not sleeping was taking away the quality of my life. Not only are you a very pleasant person you are a wonderful doctor.
