Over the last 10 years, CHCS has diverted over 100,000 people from emergency rooms and jail cells, saving Bexar County and the city of San Antonio an estimated $96 million. That’s why, for more than fifty years, we have been the leader in treating people with mental health disorders, substance use challenges, and intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Center for Health Care Services is proud to present our Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2017. By mapping A New Direction, The Center is better able to answer the call of a nation in need of earlier intervention strategies and reductions to barriers that keep people from seeking the mental health and substance use treatment they so desperately need. Read more about CHCS programs that are saving lives and reuniting families, and gain a better understanding of the impact CHCS has on Bexar County and its most important asset – the people who live here.

The CHCS Human Resources department recruits skilled and knowledgeable organizational team members, assesses and coordinates ongoing training for all staff, and actively contributes to a professional and friendly customer-service based environment that serves all employees and dependents as needed while also upholding CHCS’s Core Values.
