Ozark Guidance Expands Operations

Ozark Guidance Center and Vantage Point of Northwest Arkansas are working together to meet the mental health needs of northwest Arkansas. Vantage Point has announced a decision to focus on acute inpatient services and to discontinue operations of their therapeutic day treatment, school-based, and outpatient services, effective December 31, 2017.

“Our hospital will still be open to serve the needs of children, adolescents, adults, and seniors who need inpatient services,” said Connie Borengasser, Chief Executive Officer of Vantage Point of Northwest Arkansas. “We look forward to continuing to play an important role in the northwest Arkansas community.”

Ozark Guidance Center is the oldest, nonprofit behavioral health care center serving northwest Arkansas. In an effort to provide options for ongoing care for clients who may be affected by the change at Vantage Point, Ozark Guidance is expanding its operations.

“We want to provide a continuum of care for clients,” said Laura H. Tyler, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Ozark Guidance Center. “While people always have a choice of provider, we are committed to meeting the needs of individuals and families for better mental health in the communities we serve.”

Ozark Guidance specializes in therapeutic day treatment, school-based, and outpatient services for children and adults in Bentonville, Berryville, Fayetteville, Huntsville, Rogers, Siloam Springs, and Springdale.
