Our History

Global Medical and Behavioral Health Inc. has sound credentials and experience in providing services to at-risk youth between the ages of 10-22. Global Medical and Behavioral Health is the resultant entity of a merger between a well-established community-based agency HSC Services, Inc., and Global Business and Management Solutions. This documented history includes the effective and efficient delivery of treatment services to children throughout the state of Florida. Global Medical and Behavioral Health has developed and provided both preventative and rehabilitative services to troubled and disabled youth in Hillsborough County and surrounding counties in Florida. These services include: residential group homes, mental health treatment and substance abuse counseling. In addition, to these core services a vocational skills/job readiness program was recently implemented. This program focuses on job training and employment services with male youth who are unemployed and lack the skills necessary to obtain employment on their own.

The staff at Global Medical and Behavioral Health possesses a tremendous wealth of experience working with diverse populations. In addition, Global Medical and Behavioral Health has recently acquired a contract with Camp Koonce Treatment Program, and Global Academic and Enrichment Center. Global Medical and Behavioral Health possesses a sterling reputation of providing quality services in Central Florida. As Global Medical and Behavioral Health continues to grow as a service organization, its expertise will continue to expand to include the development of programming, servicing special needs populations such as delinquent girls, emotionally limited youths, dependent, delinquent, and truant youths, the homeless population as well as adults and children with substance abuse problems. Presently Global Medical and Behavioral Health has a staff of 22 in the youth services program all of whom hold a tremendous wealth of experience working with this population. Global Medical and Behavioral Health youth program staff are prepared to work with administrative staff to form committees to further develop services in the agency.
