Caring for the Whole Person: PBACO’s Commitment to Mental Health
At PBACO, we believe that true healthcare doesn’t stop at physical symptoms — it embraces the whole person. That means recognizing that mental health is just as important as physical well-being, and making sure our patients feel supported in both.

For too long, mental health has lived in the shadows of the healthcare system. It’s been siloed, stigmatized, or treated as an afterthought. But at PBACO, we’re changing that — by making mental healthcare a core part of how we care for our community.
What Mental Health Support Looks Like at PBACO
Integrated, Not Isolated
We work closely with primary care providers to identify mental health needs early — and respond with compassion, not complexity. By embedding behavioral health into routine care, we help patients get support in a space they already trust.
Breaking the Stigma
We talk openly about mental health, because healing starts with honesty. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief, or stress, no one should feel ashamed to ask for help. Our care teams create a safe space for those conversations to happen.
Connections That Make a Difference
When someone is struggling, knowing where to turn is half the battle. PBACO helps patients connect with licensed counselors, support groups, care managers, and community resources that understand and meet their needs.
Support for Providers, Too
Mental health support isn’t just for patients — it’s for care teams as well. We provide resources to help providers navigate tough conversations, identify early warning signs, and avoid burnout in their own practices.
Why It Matters
Mental health challenges can impact everything — from chronic condition management to medication adherence to relationships and work. When patients receive the emotional support they need, they’re more likely to stay engaged in their care, recover faster, and live fuller lives.
That’s why PBACO sees mental wellness as essential, not optional. We don’t just want our patients to get better — we want them to feel better, in every sense of the word.
PBACO: A Healthier Community Starts with Compassion
By weaving mental health into the fabric of primary care, PBACO is helping create a healthcare experience that’s more connected, compassionate, and complete.
To our patients: your mental health matters.
To our providers: your voice and vigilance are powerful tools.
To our community: let’s keep working together to build a system where everyone feels seen, supported, and safe.
If you or someone you know needs help navigating mental health care, PBACO is here to help — with resources, referrals, and a listening ear.
Because healing isn’t just about the body — it’s about the whole person.
