Two top behavioral health service providers in Middle Georgia have merged as part of an effort to standardize mental health care. River Edge Behavioral Health, based in Macon, officially took over services from Oconee Center Community Service Board. The merger means River Edge is now responsible for six additional Middle Georgia counties, including Baldwin, Hancock, Jasper, Putnam, Washington, and Wilkinson counties. The provider also recently opened a $20 million inpatient crisis and diagnostic center in Macon.
