About us:
In 1966, a group of concerned citizens incorporated the Nineteenth Regional Mental Health / Intellectual Disability Board in response to President Kennedy’s initiative to drastically alter the delivery of behavioral health services.
As a result, federal funds were issued to establish the Appalachian Comprehensive Care Center to provide behavioral health services in Boyd, Carter, Greenup, and Lawrence counties.
Elliott County was added later when statewide districts were formed by the state / federal governments.
In 1972, the name was changed to Lansdowne Comprehensive Care Center, and in 1982 Lansdowne merged with the Cave Run Comprehensive Care Center to become Pathways, Inc.
(hereinafter, Pathways).
Five additional counties – Bath, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, and Rowan – were added to the catchment area following the merger.
