Kings View Behavioral Health Systems was founded in Reedley in 1951 by the Mennonite Central Committee to address the need for treatment of mental health. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the scope of services was expanded to include drug and alcohol treatment through a number of community programs. In 1975, a day facility providing activity and work experience for developmentally disabled adults was established in Merced County. A drug and alcohol prevention and restoration program was created in Fresno in the early 1980s. In 2003 a Tele-Psychiatry program was launched to bring much needed psychiatric care to patients in more rural areas who may not have local access to such facilities or lack transportation.

Kings View is the leader in serving the underserved in behavioral health and has been since 1951. With a strong tradition of commitment, our focus is on serving rural communities where other health resources are often limited. Treating people with care and compassion is the cornerstone of our philosophy – valuing each person’s worth, dignity and wholeness in body, mind and spirit. This is our principal core value that has echoed throughout the organization and into our many patient-focused programs. At Kings View we are dedicated to continuing to demonstrate our unparalleled commitment to wellness and recovery within each community we serve.
