Didi Hirsch, located in Culver City, Ca., has provided mental health and substance abuse services for almost 70 years and serves 70,000 consumers annually.

PsychConsult Provider is designed to integrate organizations' clinical workflow and revenue cycle, streamlining day-to-day activities. The software facilitates the creation and maintenance of a complete medical record while promoting outcomes-based care.

Aviva operates in Los Angeles helping at-risk, emotionally distressed, abused, and neglected youth and their families function more effectively as individuals.
