After a health crisis tied to alcoholism landed him in the hospital, a Central Health case manager and care team connected him with a behavioral health therapist, a psychiatrist, and a palliative care specialist who helped him move from crisis to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n            \n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralhealth.net\/healing-one-brushstroke-at-a-time\/\" class=\"read-btn\" target=\"_blank\">See Armando's journey<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n          <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n\n\n      <\/div>\n\n\n      \n\n<div class=\"card\">\n        \n\n<div class=\"card-header\" id=\"headingFour\" style=\"background-color: #D8eeec\">\n          <a class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapseFourth\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapseFourth\">\n            \n\n<h5 class=\"mb-0\" style=\"text-transform:initial !important;\">\n              Station 4: Mental health care in a crisis\n            <\/h5>\n\n\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n        \n\n<div id=\"collapseFourth\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"headingFourth\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n          \n\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n            \n\n<p><b>The problem<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n            \n\n<p>Mental health care remains one of the largest gaps in the community.
