Press release: $10 million pledge creates National Behavioral Health Innovation Center at CU Anschutz

The National Behavioral Health Innovation Center is housed at CU Anschutz in Aurora, but is designed as a "virtual center" to serve people in Colorado and across the nation, by identifying and implementing behavioral health solutions, making connections to national experts, and providing resources to build connections among community leaders across the state. "There are few areas of health care more important and less understood than mental and behavioral health," says CU President Bruce Benson. "By investing in a center with a focus on finding innovative approaches to prevention, identification and treatment through intensive collaboration with partners all across our state, The Anschutz Foundation is investing in a brighter future for all people who suffer from a behavioral health condition. We couldn't be more grateful for their continued philanthropic partnership."
