COVID-19 Service Modification Notice – This information is subject to change at any time, please call before visiting.  

BHRS offices and clinics have been operational since the start of the pandemic.  The doors to BHRS clinics and offices are currently open to serve people who walk in without an appointment.

Because this situation may change quickly consumers are encouraged to call ahead (see the program contact list).

We continue to observe safety, masking, and social distancing guidelines as required to prevent the spread of COVID-19. While this may limit our capacity for in-office services, we continue to provide services by phone or telehealth video conference.

The safety of our employees, clients, and the community continues to be a priority.
