KNOX. THE EXPANDED CLINIC WOULD ALLOW HARDIN TO ADD IN ONE PLACE, MORE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, AN ADVANCED PRACTICE REGISTERED NURSE FOCUSED ON BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER TO CONNECT A NEEDY PATIENT POPULATION AND MILITARY FAMILIES TO AVAILABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCES, PROVIDE CARE MANAGEMENT, MEDICATION REVIEWS AND HELP PATIENTS EXECUTE TREATMENT PLANS. ABOUND PROMISED $1.5 MILLION OVER 10 YEARS TO COVER BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL PATIENT SERVICES AND HARDIN WOULD COVER ALL CONSTRUCTION AND REMAINING EXPANSION AND OPERATIONAL COSTS. HOWEVER, CONSTRUCTION TO CREATE THIS COMPREHENSIVE, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY CLINIC HALTED WHEN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC STRUCK IN 2020. EXTRAORDINARY PANDEMIC EXPENSES AND DEMANDS MEAN HARDIN CANNOT COMPLETE CLINIC CONSTRUCTION NOW EVEN THOUGH PATIENT NEED FOR THIS KIND OF CARE IS GREATER THAN EVER. THIS GRANT WOULD HELP DEFRAY A PORTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS TO COMPLETE THIS IMPORTANT CLINIC.
