Inwell and witham integration - integrative wellness, LLC will partner with witham health services as the designated collaborating organization (DCO) to become ccbhc through the awarding of the SM-20-012 expansion grant. Our certified community behavioral health center (ccbhc) will address the needs of the most vulnerable populations within boone, clinton and montgomery counties. In order to initialize services for individuals in the more rural areas, the inwell ccbhc will operate from physician-based access nodes that are currently in place through witam's existing infrastructure. Leveraging the use of existing primary care offices in 5 surrounding rural communities as spokes to the main hub on witham's campus will assist with the initialization of services, including assessments, treatment planning and level of care review. While our clinic will serve the needs of everyone in the community, the most vulnerable populations will be our primary focus. Specificity, those for whom poor physical, psychological, or social health has or is likely to become a reality: high-risk mothers and infants; chronically ILL and disabled; persons with aids and other blood born pathogens; mentally ILL and disabled; alcohol or substance abusers; suicide or homicide prone; the homeless, veterans, and those individuals with emotional disturbances. Through this spoke and hub system our ccbhc we will close service gaps for these populations and increase access to services. The provision of these services to the most vulnerable populations in these counties will be achieved through both the development of an integrated clinic under one roof as well as through the implementation of each of the required activities that have been identified in FOA SM-20-012. This would include achieving ccbhc certification within 4 months of being awarded the grant, providing all medical and behavioral health expectations under one roof, the creation of an assertive community treatment (act) team, establishing asocial support oppertunities, focusing on the needs of the veteran population, creating an advisory work group and coordinating with the ryan white HIV/aids program (rwhap). Our ccbhc will partner as a DCO with indiana university (IU) as they will be the evaporators of our ccbhc and service provisions. If awarded the grant inwell will identify and hire a program director that will be approved by the substance abuse and mental health services administration (samhsa). There will also be numerous other employees that will be hired as key players in each of the idenified activities above. Inwell will comply with all data collection and reporting expectations that have been outlined in SM-20-012 as well.
