Flagler Health+ CAIR Center Extends Hours of Operation

Flagler Health+ CAIR Center has extended its hours of operation to 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as it marks one year of operation, according to a media release. Flagler Health+ opened the CAIR (Crisis Assessment Intervention and Referral) Center in June of last year as a way to provide increased access to mental and behavioral health services, especially for those individuals in crisis or in urgent need of mental health care.

The CAIR Center has had 854 visits with a total of 503 patients comprised of 408 adults and 95 youths.

“The support being provided by the team at the CAIR Center has made a tremendous impact on those in our community with mental and behavioral health needs,” said Valerie Duquette, CAIR Center director, in the release. “These services are vitally important to our community and exemplify the mission of Flagler Health+ as we are committed to improving not only the physical health of our neighbors but mental health as well.

”The CAIR Center utilizes Care Connect+, a program established by Flagler Health+, to connect
patients to other critical resources. Care Connect+ helps clients navigate the process to clarify questions, remove barriers, and connect the patient to social health services, as needed, the release states.

The CAIR Center at Flagler Health+ is located at 300 Health Park Blvd, Suite 1008 on the campus of Flagler Hospital.
