---

Too few Coloradans have access to behavioral health services, and even fewer have access to these services in their primary care provider's office. This project builds upon Colorado’s State Innovation Model work from 2015 to 2019 to integrate behavioral and physical health, link practices to community resources, advance the development of value-based payment structures, and increase access to behavioral healthcare services.
