…was originally established as Samaritan Health Services, in 1996, by Samaritan Village, Inc. (SVI), and a large residential and outpatient drug treatment program.
Recognizing the important linkage between primary care and populations in need of substance abuse treatment, SVI had previously incorporated primary care clinics at each of its residential drug treatment facilities. These co-located health centers had been operational for approximately twenty years.
