Suspension of programs at Columbia River Mental Health Services

Change in ownership

On July 11, Columbia River Mental Health Services (CRMHS) and Cowlitz Indian Tribe (CIT) published a letter of intent to transition CRMHS programs and care services to the leadership of CIT’s Health and Human Services Department. At this time, no disruption to care is anticipated.

As part of this transition, CRMHS will gradually shift operational responsibilities to the Tribe. The ownership change is expected to be finalized in October 2025. Both CIT and CRMHS are committed to ensuring continued access to services for all current CRMHS clients.
