CIBH wishes to revise our schedule of charges to reflect the new rates. Rate increases for be-
havioral health services went into effect January 1, 2024. Rate increases for developmental
disability waiver services went into effect July 1, 2024.

The Heron’s Cove Crisis Receiving Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to
8:00 p.m. Since July 2, care has been provided to 18 individuals.
C. MOBILE CRISIS UNIT PILOT
On June 17, CIBH partnered with the Chesapeake Police Department to pilot a mobile co-
response program. It is a ride along program pairing a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) trained
police officer with an Emergency Services Clinician, and occasionally a Peer Recovery Spe-
cialist.
To date, the mobile response team has served 42 individuals in the community. Of the 42 in-
dividuals served, 12 were hospitalized. The remaining individuals were supported in the
community and did not require a higher level of care. The pilot continues through August 9.
FINANCIAL REPORT
Paul Marone reviewed the financial report which contains data through May 31, 2024.
