Integrated Services of Kalamazoo (ISK) is the public community mental health services program authority for Kalamazoo County and a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic.  In July 2023, ISK opened its new Behavioral Health Urgent Care and Access Center located at 440 W. Kalamazoo Avenue in the City of Kalamazoo.

This 24-hour center is Kalamazoo County’s first behavioral health urgent care and access center, one of very few across the state of Michigan. We have already served over2,300 people.  The center is open to all ages and incomes, with or without insurance coverage, and to anyone struggling with an urgent behavioral health problem. Anyone in crisis may walk in or call 269-373-6000 for same-day, easy access to mental health professionals.

The 7,900-square-foot center houses nine treatment rooms, offices, waiting rooms, a conference room, reception area, lobby, and security office. A police and ambulance entrance allows the center to serve as an alternative to a hospital emergency department for people experiencing behavioral health crises.

As our CEO Jeff Patton explains, our location is intentional. It is near areas with a high concentration of individuals receiving behavioral health services, including those experiencing homelessness. It is also easily walkable from nearby shelters and the city’s downtown area.
