Mike Garrett is the CEO of Horizons Mental Health Center in Hutchinson, Kansas. He has been the CEO for 8 years. Mike obtained a graduate degree in Clinical Psychology in 1980 from Fort Hays State University. He is a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist. He began his career with Horizons as an outpatient therapist, slowing taking on more administrative duties over time. In 2007 he began serving Horizons as the CEO. The 26 CMHCs in Kansas form the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas. Mike has served on the ACMHCK Board of Directors since 2007 and is currently serving as the President of the Association. During his time on the Board, the Association has worked extensively
with MTM Services on the costs and revenue of providing behavioral health services. Kansas has been able to achieve state wide costing and revenue information. Their recent initiative of developing a Level of Care system and the use of an objective tool to assist in determining medical necessity, in conjunction with the costing study information, positions the CMHC provider network well as they began to renegotiate their contracts with the Managed Care Organizations. The new contracts will be based on the ability of the provider to demonstrate cost efficiencies and treatment outcomes.
