The Riverside centers in Milford and Norwood will now serve as two of 25 different CBHCs across the Commonwealth, with integrated teams of nurses, clinicians, peers, and case coordinators providing routine and urgent outpatient care, as well as 24 / 7 community-based crisis intervention as an alternative to hospital emergency departments.
