CHALLENGES IN COMMUNITY CARE

Built for the realities of community health.

FQHCs are under immense pressure to meet growing behavioral health needs—but limited clinicians, support, and infrastructure make it hard to keep up.

What We Deliver

Unlike vendors offering staffing contracts or bolt-on services, Ascend was built by clinicians and operators who’ve led this work inside community health centers. We understand your challenges—and we integrate fully to grow with you.

Integrated Care Teams

Psychiatrists, therapists, and SUD providers working within your model to expand access and improve outcomes.

Full Clinical and Operational Oversight

From supervision to workflows, compliance, and quality—our team is your team. We co-create the solution that fits, then bring the tools, talent, and experience to make it thrive.

Scalable Programs with Proven Success

We've delivered over 200,000 patient encounters and helped FQHCs nationwide launch and grow sustainable, high-performing behavioral health programs.
