About Us

Our history dates back to 1965 when Good Samaritan Hospital announced the creation of the Good Samaritan Community Mental Health Center. This facility was the first of its kind in the Dayton area.

Over 50 years later, our tradition of providing quality care to the community has remained strong. Our services have been consistently recognized for their creativity and for providing focused care for both children and adults.

Thanks to our dedicated team and timely access to care, we are fulfilling our mission every day. We remain deeply committed to being the leading provider of behavioral health services in the region and to enhancing the well-being of the communities we serve.

SBHI is partially funded by the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board for Montgomery County and the Preble County Mental Health and Recovery Board.
