The four-story building houses a range of behavioral health services, including Behavioral Health Urgent Care operated by Access: Supports for Living on the second floor, the Children’s Way Counseling Center on the third floor, and offices for the county Department of Mental Health on the fourth floor.

Additional speakers and attendees are expected to include Kim Benshoff, regional director for the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports; Johanna Contreras, representing Congressman Pat Ryan; Steve Miccio, CEO of People USA; Ulster County Mental Health Commissioner Tara McDonald; Public Health Director Eve Walter; and Ulster County Legislature Chair Peter Criswell.

Officials said Jansen Avenue, from Foxhall Avenue to the rear parking lot of the center, will be closed from approximately 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the event.
