Building Stronger Organizations. Expanding Community Impact.
The needs of individuals, families and communities continue to evolve. For nonprofit organizations, meeting those needs may require new ways of working together.
Oaks Integrated Care welcomes conversations with mission-aligned organizations exploring affiliation, integration, shared services or other strategic opportunities. Together, we can strengthen essential programs, expand access to care and create a more sustainable future for the communities we serve.
Exploring What Is Possible
Every organization has its own history, strengths and vision for the future. A strategic partnership should respect that foundation while creating new opportunities to advance the mission.
Oaks may explore relationships that help organizations:
- Preserve and strengthen vital community services
- Expand programs or reach new communities
- Enhance administrative and operational infrastructure
- Improve long-term financial sustainability
- Address gaps in care and community support
- Create new opportunities for employees
- Navigate leadership transitions
- Respond to a changing healthcare and nonprofit environment
There is no single model for partnership. We begin by listening, understanding your organization and identifying whether there is a shared path forward.
Why Oaks?
Oaks provides more than behavioral health services. Our integrated approach connects people with mental health and substance use treatment, developmental disability services, housing, food access, employment support, family resources and other essential services.
A partnership with Oaks can provide access to the experience, infrastructure and resources of a larger organization while protecting what matters most: the mission, the people providing care and the communities that rely on those services.
A History of Growing Together
Oaks has successfully brought together clinically strong, fiscally responsible organizations with shared values and complementary missions.
- Steininger Behavioral Care Services joined the organization in January 2012
- Greater Trenton Behavioral HealthCare joined the organization in July 2015
- Preferred Behavioral Health Group became affiliated with Oaks in January 2017
Through these relationships, programs continued, employees remained part of the organization and communities maintained access to trusted services. Each partnership also expanded the depth of services available and created new opportunities for staff growth and collaboration.
Mission Comes First
Every conversation begins with a commitment to the people and communities involved.
Our priority is to protect continuity of care, respect the work that has already been accomplished and thoughtfully explore how working together could create greater impact.
