(LANSING) - A St. Joseph County man has received an award from a Michigan organization.
Cameron Bullock, Chief Executive Officer of Pivotal, was one of ten individuals and organizations presented with the 2026 Hometown Health Hero Award by the Michigan Public Health Week Partnership. The award was given during a ceremony last week to honor the recipients for their contributions to protecting and improving the health of Michigan residents.
Bullock led Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services of St. Joseph County through the transition to become Pivotal, a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic. They have been able to expand access to mental health and substance abuse services for all county residents.
Since 2021, Bullock has overseen significant growth in eligible clients and expanded Pivotal to three countywide sites. Under this leadership, the agency launched St. Joseph County's first behavioral-health urgent care center, as well as mobile crisis teams, jail diversion programs, integrated primary care, medication-assisted treatment and specialized services.
Bullock's efforts removed barriers to care related to time, location and payment, strengthened crisis response and increased community outreach.
