The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $700,000 Project Grant under the Rural Telemedicine Grants program (CFDA 93.211) to the UPMC Center for High-Value Health Care, a non-profit organization. The grant will fund a 5-year project to integrate behavioral health services into primary care through the use of evidence-based telehealth technologies. The project aims to improve access to behavioral healthcare, particularly in rural and underserved areas of Pennsylvania. The grant builds upon the Center's prior federal funding, including a $2 million HRSA grant for a tele-emergency opioid response program and a $1 million HRSA grant for rural opioid response efforts. The Center has also served as a sub-awardee on several other federal grants supporting initiatives related to telehealth, disability services, mental health, and elder care.
