With NARBHA's assistance, other Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs) established their own multi-site telemedicine networks. Together these connected networks form RBHAnet, which includes:

• The 32-site Northern Arizona Regional Behavioral Health Authority telemedicine network based in Flagstaff, which includes:
  • NARBHA headquarters in Flagstaff, with 8 video endpoints
  • 16 clinical endpoints in Northern Arizona
  • the 5-site Arizona State Hospital campus in Phoenix
  • the Arizona Council and Foundation for Human Service Providers in Phoenix
  • the Navajo (Window Rock) and White Mountain Apache (Whiteriver)Regional Behavioral Health Authorities
• The telemedicine network of Community Partnership of Southern Arizona, based in Tucson
• The Arizona Department of Health Services/Divison of Behavioral Health Services in Phoenix
• The telemedicine network of Cenpatico Behavioral Health of Arizona, based in Tempe
• Gila River Regional Behavioral Health Authority (Sacaton)

Through NARBHA’s Flagstaff hub site, RBHAnet is permanently connected to the University of Arizona telemedicine network, a Tucson-based network of more than 80 sites statewide. With this connection:

• NARBHA is able to offer all RBHAnet endpoints Continuing Medical Education units (through the U of A’s weekly Psychiatric Grand Rounds) and specialty physician consulting.
• University of Arizona and RBHAnet sites are able to interconnect regularly for statewide meetings, roundtables and trainings.
