OCCMHA Is Now, Oakland Community Health Network
On May 1, 2017 Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority (OCCMHA) is officially being renamed Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN)
Beginning May 1, 2017 Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority (OCCMHA) is officially being renamed Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN), and is utilizing the tagline: developmental disabilities, mental health, and substance recovery in its updated logo design.
The name change is inspired by ongoing concerns that the agency’s previous name did not accurately identify what services are available to Oakland County residents.
Another noticeable addition to the agency’s name is the word “network.” This change was made to better describe the agency’s operating infrastructure, which includes contract relations with more than 30 healthcare organizations and approximately 300 service sites across the county.

More information about OCHN’s name change and relocation will be communicated to the community through a variety of strategies. Information is also available on the agency’s website at www.oaklandchn.org or by contacting Customer Services at (800) 341-2003.
