OCH Evergreen Clinic in North Springfield is expanding its behavioral health services to address the increasing demand for mental health care in the area. The clinic has added new providers, including psychiatrist Lorri Darrow, MD, Psy.D., and psychiatric nurse practitioners Zach Dampier, PMHNP-BC, and Oyetunji “TJ” Oyedji, PMHNP. This expansion allows the clinic to offer a broader range of therapy and medication management options.

The clinic now provides outpatient therapy services for individuals aged five and older, as well as medication management for those 18 and above. Dr. Lorri Darrow, Chief Psychiatrist at OCH Evergreen Clinic, stated: “OCH Evergreen is committed to improving access to behavioral health care in North Springfield. Our goal is to ensure every person has the opportunity to receive compassionate, evidence-based treatment close to home.”

Patients at OCH Evergreen also have access to comprehensive care through the adjacent Family Medicine Clinic. This approach supports both physical and mental health needs for adults, children, and seniors.

The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with extended hours available when needed. While testing for ADHD, autism, or other childhood developmental disorders is not currently offered, the clinic plans to add these services in the future.

OCH Evergreen Clinic is part of Ozarks Community Hospital’s network that focuses on integrated care and affordable healthcare for residents across Southwest Missouri.
