The Start of Kern County Adult Psychiatric Health Facility!

We are excited to announce that Telecare will be the operations provider of the Kern County Adult Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF), set to open in Fall 2023. Telecare's Vice President of Facilities and Real Estate Services, Cameron Coltharp, has been advising on the design and construction of the facilities.

The Kern County PHF will provide much-needed resources for people in need of acute care in the county and expand options for those who need immediate, high-intensity support. The goal is to help individuals stabilize and feel supported to return to the community or other levels of care safely.

Kern County PHF will be joining our other Telecare programs in the region, Bakersfield Recovery Station and Ridgecrest Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU). We are honored to continue our partnership with Kern County on this important project and look forward to providing quality care for our community members. This is an important step forward in providing quality mental health care access.

We can't wait for the program to open in Fall 2023!
