St. Clair County Community Mental Health (SCCCMH) celebrated their 60th anniversary on May 21, 2025 with an awards banquet to honor local individuals and organizations supporting mental health.

Best Kids, PC, was selected as the 2025 Organization of the Year for integrating behavioral health into pediatric care and setting a new standard in the county. Elizabeth Lozen, LMSW, MC3 Regional Behavioral Health Consultant, also was honored with this award for her role in facilitating collaboration between SCCCMH and MC3. As a result of this collaboration, Best Kids has successfully implemented MC3 services into their practice, including mental health screenings, psychoeducation for families, access to telepsychiatry, and timely referrals. They are currently the only pediatric office in St. Clair County offering this level of integrated care.

Congratulations to Best Kids and Elizabeth Lozen!
