The Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration awarded Camcare Health Corporation a $1,800,000 Project Grant under the Community Health Centers (CFDA 93.224) program. The grant aims to enhance Camcare's behavioral health program by increasing the number of patients receiving mental health and substance use disorder services, including medication for opioid use disorder treatment. Key initiatives include:

  • Expanding mental health services, introducing preventative substance use disorder services, and renovating three health centers to accommodate more behavioral health providers and services.
  • Recruiting additional behavioral health staff, including Spanish-speaking providers and those specializing in youth psychiatric challenges, to address the linguistic and cultural needs of diverse patient populations.
  • Integrating medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with existing behavioral health services to improve treatment outcomes and provide coordinated care.
  • Addressing barriers to care by implementing culturally responsive, patient-centered approaches and utilizing local transportation partners to assist patients in accessing services.

The expected outcomes include increased access to mental health and substance use disorder services, improved patient outcomes, and continuous improvement and sustainability of the program.
