CMHOC Satisfaction Survey
Community Mental Health of Ottawa County (CMHOC) is conducting a satisfaction survey for all clients who are currently receiving services through Ottawa County Community Mental Health. Feedback obtained through this process will provide valuable information on the quality of services currently provided and help guide our efforts to improve services. CMHOC invites all clients, parents, and/or guardians to take a few moments to complete this brief, anonymous survey.
If you are a person receiving services, please feel free to complete the survey on your own, with the help of a family member, any other person with whom you feel comfortable, or by contacting CMH Customer Service at cmhcustomerservices@miottawa.org or 616-494-5545.
Should you have any questions about the survey or need the survey in another language please contact Amy Avery via email at aavery@miottawa.org or phone at 616-393-5682.
