AltaPointe Health is an Alabama-based behavioral health organisation founded in 1957, with over six decades of continuous operation serving communities across the Mobile Bay region, the Sylacauga region, and the broader state. With a workforce of more than 1,000 professionals, it integrates behavioral health, primary care, and substance use treatment under a whole-person care model - serving both adults and children across a range of settings and acuity levels.
The organisation operates a comprehensive continuum of care that includes hospitals, behavioral health crisis centers, outpatient facilities, and residential programs. Its clinical services span psychiatric evaluation and medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, crisis intervention, and specialised programs for veterans. This breadth allows AltaPointe to support individuals from acute crisis through to long-term community-based care.
AltaPointe has been led by CEO Tuerk Schlesinger for nearly 27 years, a tenure that reflects the organisation's emphasis on stable, mission-driven leadership. Its roots trace to a community-led response in the 1950s, and that orientation - toward accessible, integrated care for underserved populations - continues to shape how the organisation operates and grows.
