Integrated care involves the collaboration of medical and behavioral services to treat the whole person. Primary care is more effective when medical, mental health, lab and prescription services are addressed in one healthcare setting.
Examples of Integrated Care
An example of the need for integrated care might be the newly diagnosed diabetic who is overwhelmed by the complexity of the diagnosis triggering a mental health episode that could benefit from therapeutic support. Another example might be an individual whose depression or anxiety contributes to a chronic physical condition such as high blood pressure or heart disease.
A Healthcare Home
At Canyonlands, the above examples would be cared for under one umbrella of medical, mental health, lab and pharmacy services. We are a healthcare home in the communities we serve by providing a patient-centered, whole person approach to improving total health and well-being.
Integrated care makes healthcare more accessible to patients. It improves the health outcome by treating both body and mind and facilitates equanimity by providing collaborative care under one umbrella.
The mission of Canyonlands Healthcare is to promote healthier lives through affordable, accessible, inclusive, integrated primary care. — Christopher J. Hansen, CEO, Canyonlands Healthcare

Inclusive care is built into the culture of Canyonlands Healthcare.

Our community health centers offer comprehensive healthcare to patients in Page, Beaver Dam, Chilchinbeto, Clifton, Duncan, Globe, Mesquite (NV) and Safford.
Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring
Our Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring Program is one of our services that facilitates accessibility. The program is free for Canyonlands patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Another free service, the Page and Chilchinbeto Diabetes Education Program utilizes community resources to enhance patient engagement in their diabetes management.
Telehealth for Chronic Conditions
For patients suffering from chronic conditions like thyroid, diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease, telehealth provides active communication with their primary care provider and fewer trips to the clinic.
Family Planning
Family planning services can also be assisted with telehealth. After reviewing lab tests, prescriptions and other components of care, the provider can speak with the patient, make assessments and determine when the next in-person visit will be required.
Mental Health Services
Telehealth has become a lifeline for patients dealing with anxiety and stress. Face-to-face support from a behavioral health specialist is confidential and can be provided in the privacy of the home or office.
These Conditions Can Be Addressed by Telehealth
