Quarterly Community Newsletter: Updates, Impact, and Community Connection

As we begin 2026, Columbia Community Mental Health is reflecting on the work behind us and preparing for important changes ahead. Our January Community Newsletter shares key updates from across the organization, beginning with a message from Executive Director Todd Jacobson.

This edition includes the newly approved Mission, Vision, and Values statement, developed over the course of a year with significant input from CCMH employees. It also provides important information about upcoming Medicaid changes and how CCMH is working internally and with community partners to reduce the impact on access to care.

Readers will also find an update on the impact of CCMH’s first-ever fundraising gala, including plans to launch a Gas Voucher Pilot Program in 2026 to help reduce transportation barriers for eligible clients. Additional updates include changes to walk-in clinic hours designed to support smoother service flow and continuity of care.

Finally, the newsletter highlights several upcoming events hosted by community partner organizations throughout Columbia County. While these events are not hosted by CCMH, we are pleased to share opportunities that support connection, awareness, and community well-being.

We invite you to read the January Community Newsletter and stay connected as we move forward together.
