INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN), established by Public Act 258 of 1974, leads a
provider service network at more than 300 service sites across Oakland County and manages a
$300 million budget. The goal of the OCHN is to ensure adults and children with mental illness,
emotional disturbances and developmental disabilities have access to support and services that will
improve their health and quality of life, and help to ensure their engagement in full community
participation. The OCHN is a public governmental entity that is legally separate from the County.
The 12-member OCHN Board consists of mental health service providers, recipients (or primary
consumers) of mental health services, representatives of agencies and occupations involved with
mental health services and members of the general public. Board members must be residents of
Oakland County and at least 18 years of age. Members are appointed to serve three-year terms.
