Established in 1969 at the inspiration of Dr. Max Graves, its founder, MHS has provided high quality behavioral health treatment for several decades. As the area’s primary provider of behavioral healthcare, we serve Clark and Madison Counties with a wide scope of services designed to assist all needs and ages, from youth to the elderly.

MHS offers a seamless continuum of care. Our scope of services is vast; therefore, special emphasis is given to matching the skills of our staff with the demands of their position.

As we look to the future and our continued commitment to growth, we endeavor to enhance our team with the same caring and compassion currently found at the heart of our organization.
