Job Description

Last Update: 4/19/24

Beacon Behavioral Partners was founded in 1998 as a quality home health provider and community health center in Baton Rouge, LA. After a decade, Beacon established a behavioral health division designed to increase patient access to exceptional psychiatric care.

Since then, we’ve expanded our network into additional areas of Louisiana as well as Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi through autonomous partnerships with carefully vetted providers dedicated to driving patient outcomes. We are committed to reducing the barriers and burdens that come with owning a private practice by fully managing back-end responsibilities and creating inherent value. We work to put ourselves in our partners’ shoes to understand needs and develop strategies for success. We collaborate with each other to provide resources, new investments, and opportunities for growth, always prioritizing the relationships between our partners and their patients.

With over 25 years of experience across the entire spectrum of behavioral health, we have learned that we’re always better together. We strive to provide partners with access to a wide variety of benefits. All they have to do is be a doctor.

The mission of Beacon Behavioral Partners is to establish a network of credible, like-minded behavioral health practitioners focused on improving patient care. Our goal is to increase the value and minimize challenges of practice ownership through relationship-driven acquisitions and investments.
