Mobile Crisis Services at Gunnison Valley Health

Compassionate Support for the Community and our First Responders

Gunnison Valley Health mobile crisis services are offered 24/7 to anyone experiencing a crisis in Gunnison or Hinsdale County. A mobile crisis clinician and peer support specialist will respond to assist you in safely navigating the immediate crisis. They can assist you with arranging follow-up services post-crisis. The visit is billed to your insurance. You will not be billed a co-pay because we are a contracted provider with United Health Care (UHC). UHC's capacity contract covers all non-insurance costs for your mobile crisis visit. This program is made possible, in part, with financial assistance from community funding from Gunnison County, community grant funds from the Towns of Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte and the Public Service Grant Program from the City of Gunnison.

When dispatched, our mobile crisis clinicians respond quickly and work with everyone involved to support safety and success.
