SUMMARY OF PROJECT: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STATISTICS PRESENTED BELOW WILL DEMONSTRATE THE NEED TO COMBAT THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS BY INCREASING ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD TREATMENT SERVICES WITHIN MCHS’S RURAL AND IMPOVERISHED CATCHMENT AREA. MENTAL HEALTH AMERICA PUBLISHED THE 2022 STATE OF MENTAL HEALTH AMERICA REPORT IN WHICH NORTH CAROLINA RANKED 38TH OUT OF 51 FOR ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE (A HIGHER RANKING DEMONSTRATES MORE NEED). WITHIN THE SAME REPORT, NORTH CAROLINA RANKED 42ND OUT OF 51 FOR YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH AND PLACED 31ST OUT OF 51 FOR OVERALL MENTAL HEALTH.1 THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS ALSO GREATLY IMPACTED THE MENTAL WELLBEING OF THE ENTIRE WORLD AND NORTH CAROLINA IS NO EXCEPTION. IN 2021 35% OF ADULTS IN NORTH CAROLINA REPORTED SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY AND/OR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER. FOR COMPARISON, IN 2015 16% PER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS DIED DUE TO DRUG OVERDOSE HOWEVER IN 2020 THAT INCREASED TO 31% PER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS. POPULATIONS TO BE SERVED: ALONG WITH BEING DESIGNATED AS A MUA, EACH OF THE FIVE COUNTIES ARE DESIGNATED AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREA (HPSA). BEAUFORT COUNTY IS DESIGNATED AS A LOW-INCOME POPULATION HPSA, HYDE COUNTY IS DESIGNATED AS A HIGH NEED GEOGRAPHIC HPSA, MARTIN COUNTY IS DESIGNATED AS A LOW-INCOME HPSA, TYRRELL COUNTY IS DESIGNATED AS A LOW-INCOME POPULATION HPSA, AND WASHINGTON COUNTY IS DESIGNATED AS A GEOGRAPHIC HPSA. ALL OF THE LISTED HPSA DESIGNATIONS ARE SPECIFIC TO MENTAL HEALTH. THE COUNTIES ARE DESIGNATED WITH ADDITIONAL HPSA DESIGNATION TYPES FOR DENTAL AND PRIMARY CARE. APPROXIMATELY 43% OF THE POPULATION WITHIN THE CATCHMENT AREA IS CATEGORIZED AS LOW-INCOME WHICH MEANS THIS PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION LIVES AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL). OF THE NEARLY 146,000 RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE ENTIRE CATCHMENT AREA, APPROXIMATELY 62,000 OF THESE RESIDENTS ARE LOW-INCOME. ADDITIONALLY, 20% OF THE POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY, 12% ARE UNINSURED, 22% CLASSIFY AS HAVING A DISABILITY, AND OVER 19% OF ADULTS HAVE NO USUAL SOURCE OF CARE.4 THE NORTH CAROLINA INJURY & VIOLENCE PREVENTION BRANCH PROVIDED THE NUMBER OF OPIOID POISONING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) VISITS WITHIN THE CATCHMENT AREA. GOALS & OBJECTIVES: GOAL 1: TO INCREASE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD TREATMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SMI, SUD, SED, AND COD IN RURAL EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA WITH A FOCUS ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. OBJECTIVES: 1) BY THE END OF YEAR 2, MCHS WILL HAVE CONTACTED OVER 500 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH PROGRAM OUTREACH; 2) BY THE END OF YEAR 2, MCHS WILL HAVE SCREENED AND ASSESSED OVER 850 INDIVIDUALS; AND 3) MCHS WILL SERVE 700 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS IN YEAR 1; 850 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS IN YEAR 2; AND 1,550 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS’ TOTAL.

BOX 3007, SEATTLE, WA 98114-3007 TERESITA BATAYOLA, PRESIDENT & CEO VOICE – (206) 788-3646; FAX – (206) 490-4011 TERESITAB@ICHS.COM WWW.ICHS.COM HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM, PRIMARY CARE HIV PREVENTION H80CS00437 INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES’ (ICHS’) HIV PREVENTION AND CARE PROJECT WILL INCREASE RATES OF HIV TESTING, PREP PRESCRIBING, AND LINKAGE OF PATIENTS DIAGNOSED AS HIV POSITIVE TO CARE AND TREATMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. ICHS IS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER WITH TEN IN-SCOPE LOCATIONS, INCLUDING FOUR FULL-SERVICE MEDICAL/DENTAL CLINICS WHICH WILL BE THE FOCUS OF THE PROJECT. TWO OF THESE CLINICS ARE LOCATED IN SEATTLE: ONE IN THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT AND ONE IN THE HOLLY PARK NEIGHBORHOOD. THE IS ONE CLINIC LOCATED IN THE SUBURBAN CITY OF SHORELINE AND ONE IN BELLEVUE, KING COUNTY’S SECOND-LARGEST CITY. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS COUNSELED AND TESTED FOR HIV BY INITIATING AN OUTREACH PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT ALL ICHS PATIENTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15 AND 65 ARE TESTED FOR HIV AT LEAST ONCE. PATIENTS AT HIGH RISK OF HIV WILL THEN BE SCREENED AT INTERVALS OF 3-12 MONTHS. THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE ON THE CURRENT ICHS SCREENING RATE OF 38%. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH HIV, EVEN WITH SCREENING FOR IT, AND THIS IS COMPOUNDED BY LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL BARRIERS AS WELL AS LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF HIV. CONSEQUENTLY, THE PROJECT WILL USE OUTREACH COORDINATORS AS WELL AS HEALTH EDUCATION SPECIALISTS TO HELP INCREASE THE UPTAKE OF FIRST TIME HIV SCREENING. MEDICAL LEADERSHIP WILL WORK WITH OUR CLINICAL INFORMATICS TEAM TO ENSURE THAT HIV SCREENING IS LISTED AS PART OF THE CARE GAPS USED IN OUR ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD SYSTEM TO ENSURE THAT ALL PROVIDERS SCREEN THEIR PATIENTS AT LEAST ONCE. BY OFFERING HIV SCREENING SERVICES, WE WILL BE MORE ATTUNED TO WHO IS AT INCREASED RISK OF GETTING HIV. ICHS WILL IMPROVE OUR COLLECTION OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY (SOGI) AND DRUG-USE DATA TO IDENTIFY WHO IS AT HIGHER RISK OF GETTING HIV AND CAN BENEFIT FROM PREP. PREP MEDICATIONS ARE ALREADY READILY AVAILABLE IN ICHS’ PHARMACY SITES FOR SAME-DAY PICKUP. WE WILL OFFER WALK-IN AND POINT-OF-CARE TESTING TO ALLOW FOR SAME-DAY PREP INITIATION. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF THE NUMBER OF ICHS PATIENTS WHO ARE PRESCRIBED PREP, WHICH WAS 103 AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2021. BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SCREENED FOR HIV, WE WILL IDENTIFY MORE NEW CASES OF HIV. ICHS HAS AN HIV SPECIALIST THAT CAN MANAGE HIV, AND WE WILL ALSO WORK WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING HIV CLINICS AND CASE MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS ARE LINKED TO HIV CARE WITHIN 30 DAYS. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT ICHS STAFF AND PROVIDERS ARE AWARE OF THE INITIATIVE, ICHS WILL APPOINT HIV PREVENTION CLINICIAN CHAMPIONS AT ITS CLINICAL SITES, AS WELL AS A PROGRAM MANAGER TO OVERSEE THE EFFORT. ICHS IS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER THAT SERVES EVERYONE. HOWEVER, SINCE 84% OF ICHS PATIENTS WITH KNOWN INCOMES ARE LOW-INCOME (WITH INCOMES AT 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LIMIT OR LOWER) AND 60% ARE BEST SERVED IN A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH, THESE POPULATIONS WILL REPRESENT A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THOSE SERVED. IN ADDITION, APPROXIMATELY 68% OF ICHS PATIENTS ARE OF ASIAN ETHNICITY, SO MANY OF THOSE SERVED IN THIS PROJECT WILL REPRESENT THIS POPULATION.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - NON-CONSTRUCTION - LEGACY COMMUNITY HEALTH (LCH) SEEKS A GRANT OF $1,000,000 FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION AND TRANSITION TO A NEW ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS (EHR) SYSTEM - EPIC. LCH IS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER BASED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS THAT PROVIDES A RANGE OF PRIMARY CARE SERVICES. THIS INITIATIVE IS FUNDAMENTAL IN OUR EFFORT TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY AND COORDINATION OF CARE, REDUCE MEDICAL ERRORS, IMPROVE PATIENT SAFETY AND HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND PROMOTE HEALTH EQUITY IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE PRESENT EHR SYSTEM AT LCH IS NOT OPTIMALLY EFFECTIVE FOR MANAGING THE INCREASING VOLUME OF PATIENTS OR OUR EVOLVING REQUIREMENTS FOR DATA SHARING, ANALYTICS, AND INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. THIS SITUATION NOT ONLY IMPACTS SERVICE EFFICIENCY AND HEALTH OUTCOMES BUT ALSO HAMPERS OUR EFFORTS IN MEETING FEDERAL REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EPIC EHR SYSTEM, KNOWN FOR ITS COMPREHENSIVE FUNCTIONALITIES AND ROBUST DATA MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES, WILL SIGNIFICANTLY RESOLVE THESE ISSUES.

THE SERVICE AREA COVERED BY THIS PROGRAMMING WILL BE 8 COUNTIES IN THE APPALACHIAN REGION OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. TO ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS BLUE RIDGE COMMUNITY HEALTH (BLUE RIDGE) WILL HAVE A CARE MANAGER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR EACH OF THE 8 COUNTIES TO ASSIST THOSE IDENTIFIED WITH MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OR SUD AND REFERRED BY BLUE RIDGE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. THE CARE MANAGER WILL HELP THOSE REFERRED ACCESS THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH RELATED TO THE MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE USE. THE INITIAL CONTACT IS A MEANS OF PROVIDING IMMEDIATE SUPPORT FOR THOSE IN NEED. BLUE RIDGE WILL EXPAND THE CARE MANAGEMENT CURRENTLY PROVIDED AND HIRE THREE CARE MANAGERS TO COVER THREE ADDITIONAL COUNTIES .THE IMMEDIATE CONTACT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS SERVED FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OR SUD. TO ACCOMMODATE THE INCREASE, AN ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT CLINICIAN WILL BE HIRED. BLUE RIDGE CURRENTLY HAS A WAITING LIST FOR THOSE WHO NEED SPECIFIC OR SPECIALIZED PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING, SO TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS SERVED, BLUE R IDGE WILL INCREASE THE CURRENT PART-TIME POSITION IN PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING TO A FULL TIME POSITION. TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR INCREASED SERVICES, BLUE RIDGE WILL INCREASE TRAINING FOR SPECIALIZATIONS SUCH AS AUTISM AND EATING DISORDERS AND WORK WITH CLINICIANS TO BE DUAL-LICENSED IN VARIOUS SUBDISCIPLINES. BLUE RIDGE WILL ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THESE ADDITIONAL SERVICES THROUGH OUR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN, SPECIFICALLY TRACKING THE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS' REFERRALS AND TREATMENT (MEDICATION OR NOT) AND CHANGES IN THE PHQ9. BLUE RIDGE CURRENTLY HAS IN PLACE A SYSTEM TO TRACK THE REFERRALS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES MADE BY CARE MANAGERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE THAT PROCESS TO EVALUATE THE EXPANSION OF SERVICES.

DBA GRAND PEAKS, IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION WITH A 17-YEAR HISTORY OF SERVING THE PRIMARY MEDICAL, PREVENTIVE AND FAMILY DENTAL, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PHARMACY NEEDS OF EASTERN IDAHO RESIDENTS. HRSA’S 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION FUNDING OPPORTUNITY WILL ENABLE GRAND PEAKS (GP) TO GREATLY EXPAND THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, AS WELL AS INCREASE THE SCOPE OF SERVICES PROVIDED. GRAND PEAKS HAS FOUR PERMANENT SERVICE SITES PROVIDING MEDICAL, DENTAL, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PHARMACY SERVICES. SITES ARE LOCATED IN REXBURG, IDAHO FALLS, AND ST. ANTHONY, IDAHO. GP ALSO HAS THIRTEEN ACTIVE SCHOOL-BASED SITES SERVING STUDENTS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE FREMONT, SUGAR SALEM, AND MADISON SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THE ORGANIZATION SERVES RESIDENTS OF FREMONT, TETON, MADISON, BONNEVILLE, AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES, PROVIDING HEALTHCARE TO LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED, AND UNDERINSURED INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES. IN 2023, GP SERVED 11,178 UNIQUE PATIENTS (2023 UDS REPORT). GP’S SERVICE AREA INCLUDES 14 ZIP CODE TABULATION AREAS (ZCTAS): WITH A TOTAL POPULATION OF 194,644 RESIDENTS (GEOCARENAV), INCLUDING GP’S TARGET POPULATION OF 71,357 LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS (AT OR BELOW 200% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL), REPRESENTING 36.6% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION. GRAND PEAKS’ STAFF AND PARTNERS HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NEEDS FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN RECENT YEARS. THE AREA IS A FEDERALLY DESIGNATED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREA. IDAHO HAS T HE 12TH HIGHEST SUICIDE RATE IN THE NATION (2022, IDAHO DHW), 45% ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IN 2021 (KFF.ORG). THESE RATES ARE ESPECIALLY CONCERNING FOR YOUTH, WITH 16.4% REPORTING AT LEAST ONE DEPRESSIVE EPISODE.

FY 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION - OVERVIEW OF APPLICANT: METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES, INC (MCHS) PROVIDES PRIMARY MEDICAL, DENTAL, PHARMACY, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITHIN THE RURAL COUNTIES OF BEAUFORT, HYDE, MARTIN, TYRRELL, AND WASHINGTON IN NORTH CAROLINA. MCHS IS A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) AND PROVIDES SERVICES ON A SLIDING FEE SCALE. OBJECTIVES: MCHS WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. MCHS WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING SUD SERVICES, INCLUDING TREATMENT WITH MEDICATIONS FOR OPIOID DISORDER (MOUD). SUMMARY OF PROJECT: THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUNDING THAT IS MADE AVAILABLE BY THE HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) IS TO SUPPORT H80 RECIPIENT HEALTH CENTERS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO INCREASE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH THE EXPANSION OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES (SUD). MCHS IS PROPOSING TO EXPAND THE EXISTING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES IN AN EFFORT TO REACH MORE INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN THE FIVE-COUNTY SERVICE AREA. THE SERVICE AREA THAT MCHS OPERATES WITHIN HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA (MUA) BY HRSA. THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 292,000 INDIVIDUALS WITHIN MCHS’ SERVICE AREA OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY 43% ARE LOW-INCOME, 21% LIVE IN POVERTY, AND THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 32,000 INDIVIDUALS UNINSURED. TO FURTHER EXACERBATE THESE ONGOING ISSUES, THIS PART OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA IS ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH THE CURRENT MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND OPIOID EPIDEMIC FACED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. ACCORDING TO THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (NCDHHS) THE RATE OF MEDICATION/DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS PER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS WAS 27.6 FOR NORTH CAROLINA. HOWEVER, FOUR OF THE FIVE COUNTIES RATED MUCH HIGHER WITH BEAUFORT COUNTY RATING 34.0, HYDE COUNTY RATING 43.6, MARTIN COUNTY RATING 32.1, AND TYRRELL COUNTY RATING 35.4. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUICIDE RATES IN BOTH BEAUFORT AND WASHINGTON CO UNTIES ARE HIGHER THAN THE SUICIDE RATE FOR THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. THE NEED FOR EXPANDED MENTAL HEARETH AND SUD SERVICES ARE ONLY INTENSIFIED AS ALL FIVE COUNTIES ARE DESIGNATED BY HRSA AS HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS (HPSAS) FOR MENTAL HEALTH.

FY 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION - INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES (ICHS) PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE TO RESIDENTS OF SEATTLE AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY, ICHS PROVIDES CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES AND PROMOTES HEALTH EQUITY FOR ALL. IN 2023, ICHS SERVED A TOTAL OF 31,147 UNDUPLICATED PATIENTS. OF THIS TOTAL, 78% WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR, 78% HAD INCOMES AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LIMIT, AND 58% WERE BEST SERVED IN A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH, SPEAKING OVER 70 LANGUAGES. BECAUSE OF OUR DIVERSE PATIENT POPULATIONS AND ROOTS, OUR VISION AT ICHS IS “HEALTHIER PEOPLE. THRIVING FAMILIES. EMPOWERED COMMUNITIES. A JUST SOCIETY.” PART OF THIS VISION IS ENSURING THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, PARTLY DUE TO COVID-19, THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY HAS INCREASED, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH IN OUTPATIENT SETTINGS HAS DECREASED OR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND. AS A RESULT OF THIS, ICHS IS SEEING MORE PATIENTS IN THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING WITH COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE NEEDS. WITH THIS PROJECT, WE WILL INCREASE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH OF OUR PATIENTS, AND PROVIDING MORE TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO OUR EMPLOYEES. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS EXPANSION, ICHS WILL HIRE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE COORDINATORS TO SUPPORT TRACKING AND FOLLOW-UP OF MORE COMPLEX PATIENTS, A PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER TO SUPPORT PROVIDERS AND PROVIDE PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES TO PATIENTS, AND A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) PROFESSIONAL TO BETTER SUPPORT PATIENTS WHO NEED SUD SERVICES AND/OR MEDICATIONS FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (MOUD). IN ADDITION, ICHS WILL USE GRANT FUNDS TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND CONSULTATION THAT WILL HELP STAFF WORK AT THE TOP OF THEIR LICENSES AND IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRIMARY CARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND COLLABORATIVE CARE MODELS. THE NEW PERSONNEL AND TRAINING WILL INCREASE ICHS’ CAPACITY TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE, INTEGRATED, AND EFFECTIVE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD SERVICES, WHICH WILL BE LINGUISTICALLY AND CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE. THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE INTERNAL REFERRALS OF MEDICAL PATIENTS TO NECESSARY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE AND AN INCREASE IN PATIENTS WHO NEWLY ACCESS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, SUD SERVICES, AND MOUD AT ICHS, AS MEASURED IN ICHS’ 2025 UNIFORM DATA SYSTEM (UDS) REPORT. ALL PATIENTS WILL EXPERIENCE AN IMPROVEMENT IN ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, BUT GIVEN ICHS’ PATIENT POPULATION, THE PATIENTS THAT WILL SEE THE GREATEST BENEFIT WILL BE PEOPLE OF COLOR AND MEMBERS OF LOW-INCOME AND LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT COMMUNITIES. ICHS' HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM GRANT NUMBER IS H80CS00437.

FY 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION - LEGACY COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES SEEKS TO EXPAND MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) SERVICES THROUGH STRATEGIC INTEGRATION INTO PRIMARY CARE SETTINGS, SUPPORTED BY THE HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) UNDER THE HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM BHSE (HRSA-24-078). CURRENT NATIONAL STATISTICS REVEAL A CRITICAL SHORTFALL IN MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD SERVICES, WITH LESS THAN HALF OF ADULTS WITH MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS AND ONLY 1.5 PERCENT OF THOSE WITH SUDS RECEIVING NECESSARY TREATMENT. THIS SERVICE GAP IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED IN UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS WHO PRIMARILY ACCESS HEALTH CARE THROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS. IN RESPONSE TO THESE ALARMING TRENDS AND GUIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS) ROADMAP FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTEGRATION, LEGACY AIMS TO LEVERAGE BHSE FUNDING TO SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.

FY 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION - PENINSULA COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES OF ALASKA, INC. (PCHS), FAIN# H8001139, SERVES ALL COMMUNITIES IN THE CENTRAL KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH. PCHS REQUESTS GRANT FUNDING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) SERVICES, INCLUDING PATIENTS RECEIVING MEDICATIONS FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (MOUD). THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ADDRESSED IN OUR PROPOSAL ARE INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD/MOUD TREATMENT TO MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ENCOUNTERING BARRIERS TO CARE INCLUDING: 1. FINANCIAL INSECURITY (INCLUDING UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR CARE OUT OF POCKET), 2. LACK OF ACCESS TO CARE (NO PROVIDER FOR THE SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY, OR PUBLICLY INSURED PATIENTS WITH FEW OR NO PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY ACCEPTING THAT PAYOR), 3. STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION FOR PATIENTS SEEKING AND ACCESSING TREATMENT, 4. LACK OF ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION TO COME TO APPOINTMENTS, AND 5. SOCIAL RISK FACTORS INCLUDING FOOD INSECURITY, UNSTABLE HOUSING, LACK OF OR LIMITED HEALTH INSURANCE, AND LINGUISTIC BARRIERS. FINANCIAL INSECURITY AND LACK OF ACCESS TO CARE CAN BE ADDRESSED BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PCHS CLINICAL STAFF INCLUDING MEDICAL PROVIDERS WHO DELIVER SUD/MOUD SERVICES WITHIN OUR EXISTING PRIMARY CARE CLINIC AS PART OF THEIR ROUTINE SCHEDULE, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PCHS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINICIANS WHO CAN DELIVER MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES BY WARM HANDOFF IN OUR EXISTING PRIMARY CARE CLINIC, AND INCREASING SALARIES FOR OUR EXISTING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINICIANS TO PROMOTE RETENTION OF THOSE CLINICIANS IN AN INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE MARKET. PCHS WILL ALSO RECRUIT AN MOUD NURSE MANAGER TO OVERSEE AND COORDINATE CARE NEEDS FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING SUD/MOUD SERVICES SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, MENTAL HEALTH CARE, REFERRAL TRACKING, CARE COORDINATION, MEDICATION TRACKING, AND PROGRAM COMPLIANCE. STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION CAN BE ADDRESSED IN SIMILAR WAYS. UNDER OUR CURRENT BEHAVIORAL HEAL TH INTEGRATED CARE MODEL, PCHS DELIVERS INITIAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES WITHIN A PRIMARY CARE CLINIC; THIS INCREASES THE PATIENT’S WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE IN THESE SERVICES AND REMOVES ANY STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION ASSOCIATED WITH RECEIVING THE CARE IN ANOTHER AREA OF THE BUILDING. THE STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION ASSOCIATED WITH SUD/MOUD SERVICES CAN BE ADDRESSED THE SAME WAY. OUR SINGLE-DESK CHECK-IN MODEL ENSURES PATIENTS WHO ARE MAKING SUD/MOUD APPOINTMENTS ARE CHECKING IN FOR ROUTINE APPOINTMENTS IN OUR PRIMARY CARE CLINIC WITHOUT THOSE APPOINTMENTS BEING IDENTIFIED AS SUD/MOUD BY THE WORDING ON OUR FRONT DOOR, BY THE IDENTIFIED SPECIALTY OF AN INDIVIDUAL PROVIDER, OR BY THE AREA OF THE BUILDING WHERE THE PATIENT CHECKS IN. LACK OF ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION FOR APPOINTMENTS CAN BE ADDRESSED BY PURCHASING TOKENS FROM LOCAL TAXI SERVICES AND UTILIZING THOSE FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD/MOUD PATIENTS WHO LACK TRANSPORTATION TO THESE APPOINTMENTS. SOCIAL RISK FACTORS SUCH AS FOOD INSECURITY, UNSTABLE HOUSING, LACK OF OR LIMITED HEALTH INSURANCE, AND LINGUISTIC BARRIERS CAN BE ADDRESSED BY THE RECRUITMENT OF A MANAGER TO IMPLEMENT IN-DEPTH REGISTRATION SCREENING AND OVERSEE EXISTING ELIGIBILITY SPECIALISTS TO ENSURE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE SCREENED AND ADDRESSED IN A COORDINATED METHOD. WE WOULD ADD ANOTHER 1.5 FTES ELIGIBILITY SPECIALISTS TO OUR EXISTING 1.5 FTES WHO CURRENTLY ADMINISTER OUR SLIDING FEE DISCOUNT PROGRAM, ASSIST PATIENTS WITH THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND THE MARKETPLACE, AND ASSIST PATIENTS WITH REFERRALS TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS FOR FOOD, FINANCIAL, AND HOUSING INSECURITIES AS THOSE PATIENTS ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH STAFF INTERACTIONS. PCHS WOULD EXPAND THAT SOCIAL RISK SCREENING AND ASSISTANCE TO INCLUDE ALL PATIENTS VIA INTERVIEW AT REGISTRATION. PCHS WOULD COMPLETE A MINOR ALTERATION/RENOVATION TO ADD ELIGIBILITY SPECIALIST WORKSTATIONS IN THE SOLDOTNA LOBBY FOR THE ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY SPECIALISTS.

CONNECTUS HEALTH’S PROPOSED MODEL OF CARE WILL UTILIZE 3 EXISTING COMMUNITY HEALTH SITES AND A MOBILE HEALTH SERVICES UNIT FOR SERVICE DELIVERY. BETWEEN 3 FIXED COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICE LOCATIONS AND THE MOBILE SERVICES UNIT, INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE 5 DAYS PER WEEK (WITH INTERMITTENT WEEKEND AVAILABILITY THROUGH THE MOBILE SERVICE UNIT) FOR A MINIMUM OF 42 HOURS PER WEEK. ADDITIONALLY, AFTER HOURS PHONE ASSESSMENT/TRIAGE SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS PER DAY, 7 DAYS PER WEEK.

ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL RECRUIT A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE COORDINATOR (BHCC) TO 1) FACILITATE THE TRACKING AND FOLLOW-UP OF TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A SUD BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN IN THE LAST YEAR AND 2) COORDINATE CARE FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING MOUD. WHILE CCH HAS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, 0 PATIENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS RECEIVING SUD SERVICES ON THE UDS IN 2023. WE ARE PROJECTING THAT WITH THE FUNDS OFFERED BY THIS GRANT, CCH WILL BE ABLE TO SEE 2,040 TOTAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS 1,836 SEEN FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND 204 FOR SUD SERVICES. ADDITIONALLY, CCH WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MOUD PATIENTS FROM 29 TO 75. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW STAFF, CCH WILL TRAIN CURRENT STAFF ON INTEGRATED CARE MODELS TO IMPROVE BH SCREENING RATES AND REFERRALS TO THE NEW BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. TRAINING WILL ALSO ADDRESS SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH SUCH AS HOMELESSNESS, FOOD INSECURITY, LACK OF ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION, INABILITY TO AFFORD HEALTH CARE, AND THEIR IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH. CCH WILL ALSO TRAIN NURSE CARE MANAGERS IN MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TO PROVIDE A FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY RECEIVING ANCILLARY SUPPORT SERVICES, BUT HAVE NOT FULLY ENGAGED WITH THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TEAM. CCH WILL INTEGRATE THESE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENT OUTCOMES INTO OUR EXISTING QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND QUALITY ASSURANCE (QI/QA) METHODS. OUR PROVEN QI/QA FRAMEWORK HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN ACHIEVING NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STANDARDS FOR QUALITY OF CARE AND WILL BE PIVOTAL IN ENSURING THE SUCCESS OF THIS EXPANSION. BY ENHANCING OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, CCH AIMS TO ADDRESS THE URGENT MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY, IMPROVING PATIENT OUTCOMES AND CONTINUING OUR MISSION OF PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL CARE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST.

PAUL, MN 55107-2226 HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM GRANT NUMBER: 6 H80CS00790-23-01 GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS REQUESTED: $1,100,000 MCC HAS A ROBUST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM, SERVING 15,578 PATIENTS EVERY YEAR. COMPRISED OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH THERAPISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND SUPPORTING STAFF, THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TEAM SERVES PATIENTS AT 3 AMBULATORY CLINICS, 10 SCHOOL-BASED CLINICS, AND THROUGH TELEHEALTH. IN 2012, MCC BECAME ONE OF THE FIRST COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS TO PROVIDE SUBOXONE MEDICATION-ASSISTED THERAPY (MAT) FOR THE TREATMENT OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD). MCC PROVIDES A TEAM-BASED APPROACH, OFFERING INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL SERVICES, MAT, AND CASE MANAGEMENT. MENTAL HEALTH IS A PERSISTENT CONCERN IN MCC’S SERVICE AREA, WITH MORE THAN ONE-QUARTER OF RAMSEY COUNTY ADULTS REPORTING A DIAGNOSIS OF DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY. WHAT’S MORE, OVER HALF OF RESIDENTS REPORT DELAYING CARE FOR MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS, INCLUDING OVER ONE-THIRD WHO DID SO BECAUSE OF COST OR LACK OF INSURANCE. NATIONALLY, IN THE PAST DECADE, THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN DRUG OVERDOSES IN GENERAL AND A MARKED INCREASE IN OPIOID OVERDOSES. THIS NATIONAL TREND IS REFLECTED IN RAMSEY COUNTY, WHICH HAS EXPERIENCED A STEADY INCREASE IN DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS FROM 14 IN 2000 TO 89 IN 2016. IN MINNESOTA IN 2021, NATIVE AMERICAN/AMERICAN INDIANS WERE 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE OF DRUG USE THAN NON-HISPANIC WHITES. MCC PROPOSES TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH THE ADDITION OF SEVERAL NEW BEHAVIORAL HEALTH POSITIONS, INCLUDING DIRECT SERVICE AND SUPPORTING POSITIONS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL CULTURALLY-SPECIFIC OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS. ADDITIONALLY, MCC PROPOSES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO SERVICES THROUGH THE CREATION OF A TECHNOLOGY CENTER THAT WOULD ALLOW PATIENTS TO COMPLETE TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS IN AN MCC CLINIC. SOME PATIENTS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MOBILE OR INTERNET SERVICES, OR DO NOT HAVE SPACE IN THEIR HOME TO CONDUCT VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS, SO A TECHNOLOGY CENTER WOULD HELP REDUCE THESE BARRIERS TO CARE WHEN IN-PERSON CARE IS NOT POSSIBLE. MCC WILL ALSO HIRE A NEW MENTAL HEALTH CARE COORDINATOR WHO WILL OVERSEE A PHONE LINE DEDICATED ONLY TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH APPOINTMENTS, REDUCING WAIT TIMES, AND PROVIDING MORE DETAILED INFORMATION. MCC PROPOSES TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING SUD SERVICES, INCLUDING PATIENTS RECEIVING TREATMENT WITH MOUD, THROUGH NEW POSITIONS, TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES, AND HIRING BONUSES FOR PROVIDERS WILLING TO PROVIDE MAT SERVICES. MCC WOULD HIRE A COMMUNITY NAVIGATOR TO RESIDE AT RAMSEY COUNTY CRISIS CENTER, WHICH OFFERS ON-SITE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR ADULTS, WHERE THEY WILL ASSIST IN COORDINATING WITH PATIENTS DISCHARGED FROM THE COUNTY WHO NEED MAT SERVICES. ADDITIONALLY, MCC WILL PROVIDE SUD TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CURRENT PROVIDERS WHO DO NOT CURRENTLY PRESCRIBE MOUD MEDICATION. AS AN FQHC, MCC EXISTS TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LOWER INCOME AND ARE UNDERINSURED/UNINSURED, INCLUDING MULTIPLE MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS, IMMIGRANTS, REFUGEES, PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENTS, AND PERSONS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. ANNUALLY, MCC SERVES 35,000 PATIENTS THROUGH 128,000 VISITS. A SUMMARY OF PATIENTS BY RACE/ETHNICITY IS AS FOLLOWS: 53% HISPANIC/LATINO, 14% ASIAN, 14% BLACK, 11% WHITE, 1% AMERICAN INDIAN, 1% MULTIRACIAL, 1% OTHER, AND 5% UNIDENTIFIED. ALL SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE AT A DISCOUNT TO UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS WITH LOWER INCOMES, AND 42% OF PATIENTS HAVE INCOMES BELOW 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. OF PATIENTS SERVED, 46% HAVE PUBLIC INSURANCE, 38% ARE UNINSURED, AND 16% HAVE PRIVATE INSURANCE. FURTHERMORE, 58% OF PATIENTS ARE BEST SERVED IN A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH. MCC’S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS REFLECT THESE DEMOGRAPHICS.
