Behavioral Health
In 1997, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma (CNO) established its first tribally owned 8(a) small business medical and administrative staffing company. This company won a contract to provide Family Advocacy Program (FAP) services for the Pacific Air Force.
In the 25 years since then, multiple CNO medical and administrative companies have provided exceptional behavioral health services to military beneficiaries in the continental United States (US) and overseas.
Our goal is to be the premier provider of program management, medical, behavioral health and administrative services for federal and commercial agencies.
To achieve this goal, we are committed to:
Maintaining a culture that embraces equity, diversity and inclusion while mandating ethical and fair conduct.
Offering a supportive, safe and professional work environment.
Providing exceptional customer service to all stakeholders.
Providing fair and competitive salaries and benefits to our employees.
Utilizing technology to streamline processes and increase efficiencies.
Providing evidence-based services to ensure positive and optimal outcomes for our military and civilian participants.
Conducting ongoing research to continually improving our services.
Implementing a holistic approach to prevent and treat mental health issues for all age groups.
Our holistic approach to service delivery is focused on building and sustaining healthy military personnel, units, families and communities while supporting the military’s Total Force Fitness (TFF) strategy. Our medical and behavioral healthcare employees conduct comprehensive bio-psychosocial assessments and provide prevention and treatment services to build on personal strengths, increase protective factors and reduce risk factors for maladaptive behavior to promote optimal performance, resiliency and readiness.
