Collaborative Care
Behavioral Healthcare
The Collaborative Care Program (CoCM) is a team approach to the treatment of anxiety and depression in primary care. The goal of CoCM is to increase access and reduce the stigma associated with accessing treatment for mental health.
The team includes you, your doctor, the behavioral healthcare manager, and a psychiatric consultant.
Prospective patients can request that their doctor refer them to receive CoCM services. After a referral, patients will meet with their Behavioral Healthcare Manager to create a care plan that best fits them.

Dr. Medlock graduated from the University of Notre Dame followed by the University of Florida College of Medicine.
He completed neurosurgical training at the University of Illinois and fellowship training at Boston Children's Hospital.
He spent 5 years on the faculty of Georgetown University in Washington DC before returning to the Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and North Shore Medical Center.
He retired from operative neurological surgery in 2017 and now practices a combination of non-operative neurological surgery and addiction medicine.
While he always enjoyed the demanding work under the operating microscope with the brain and spinal cord, he knew there were other brain diseases that were having an enormous impact on our public health: addiction and substance use disorders.
Dr. Medlock is enjoying being a part of the solution to these troublesome yet treatable diseases.
