“Being recognized by Becker’s is a testament to the extraordinary work our teams do every day to care for individuals with mental and behavioral health needs,” said Eve Hosford, Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of Behavioral Health at RRH.

- Six acute crisis programs
- More than 370,000 outpatient visits annually
- 55 school-based clinics across the region

The system also offers:
- Walk-in services

RRH is equally focused on equity in mental health, offering anti-racist care, Indigenous-focused psychotherapy, and culturally competent treatment. The organization partners with BIPOC-led agencies and supports regional behavioral health workforce development to create a more inclusive system of care.
Becker’s recognition reinforces RRH’s leadership in addressing mental health challenges with innovation, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to community well-being.
