Outpatient Services
Behavioral Health: Mental Health and AODA Services
To feel "good" you must be in good physical and mental health, as one affects the other. The goal of Koller Behavioral Health Services is to provide easy access to quality mental health and AODA counseling services that keep physical and mental health components in balance.
Koller Behavioral Health Services was founded through the generosity of Manitowish Waters' residents, Frank and Betty Koller. Their financial gift made it possible for Howard Young Medical Center to offer quality mental health services on a regional basis. In recognition of the Kollers and their donation, Howard Young Medical Center has named the clinic in memory of their son, Frank B. Koller, Jr.
In 1997, HYMC combined the alcohol and drug abuse counseling and mental health departments based on the link between mental and physical health. Koller Behavioral Health is an affiliate of Ministry Behavioral Health.
