Community Report: Rooted in Values
In 2025, Oaklawn marked one of the most significant milestones in our history – becoming a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, or CCBHC. This new federal program is revolutionizing mental health care across the country. Indiana is one of 18 states participating, and Oaklawn is one of only eight organizations in the state to pioneer this new model.
