LifeSpring Health Systems - New Albany Center

LifeSpring Health Systems is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Community Mental Health Center and Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that has been the premier provider of comprehensive behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, primary care, and related services in southern Indiana since 1964.

Beginning as a small outpatient clinic for children in Jeffersonville, Indiana, LifeSpring has grown to serve 11 counties—Clark, Crawford, Dubois, Floyd, Harrison, Jefferson, Orange, Perry, Scott, Spencer, and Washington—operating over 25 facilities and annually supporting more than 14,000 individuals across the lifespan, regardless of ability to pay.

Guided by the mission 'to improve and sustain the quality of life in our communities by providing comprehensive behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, primary care and related services,' and the values 'It is our privilege to serve, with the highest quality of care, in a professional and fiscally responsible manner,' LifeSpring employs a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, nurses, licensed therapists, counselors, and support staff to deliver patient-centered, evidence-based care using an integrated team approach.

Services encompass education, prevention, assessment, intervention, and treatment, including individual and group outpatient therapy, psychiatric evaluations and medication management, recovery support through residential facilities like the Recovery Campus and Hope Center, primary care via multiple community clinics, school-based health services, crisis stabilization, harm reduction programs such as Project CARE, and specialized support for veterans, homeless individuals, children and families, and those with co-occurring disorders.

LifeSpring fosters strong partnerships with medical communities, social services, schools, justice systems, churches, and organizations to provide the least restrictive, most supportive services tailored to each participant's needs, ensuring no one is turned away due to inability to pay, insurance status, or any form of discrimination, with a sliding fee scale based on family size and income.
