CBH Provider Network
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s HealthChoices program and CBH offer a special opportunity help improve and expand access to care for mental health and addiction for Philadelphians in need. Achieving this aim requires a strong partnership between officials who build and manage public resources and behavioral health professionals whose clinical expertise and compassion can make a real difference in the lives of our City’s most vulnerable citizens.Â
