Better Health Together is pleased to announce the recipients of rural school-based healthcare awards and how they have used their funding to implement innovative school-based healthcare projects and address health-related social needs for students throughout Eastern Washington.
To support the needs of Newport School District, BHT is looking for a consultant to design an implementation and sustainability plan for a telehealth service to be offered in Newport High School, and the alternative High School, Pend Oreille River School, by March 30, 2024. Learn more here.
We’ve released a Request for Proposals (RFP) inviting applications from contracted partners connected to or providing behavioral health services for projects that will help reduce barriers for patients accessing telehealth behavioral health services during COVID-19. Individual awards of up to $20,000 per partner are available until the $300,000 available is expended. Learn more and apply by April 16th priority funding deadline!
Washington’s nine Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs) have received $2 million from Cambia Health Solutions to address the urgent mental and behavioral health needs in rural communities intensified by COVID-19. The funds will be distributed across the ACHs, and each organization will disperse the dollars based on the needs in their region.
BHT is inviting proposals with the intent to support innovative approaches that work to reduce recidivism, embed an equitable approach, and improve access to behavioral health services for criminal justice involved individuals, as well as, early intervention and prevention with youth.
Director of Equity and Engagement, Hadley Morrow, speaks as the lead panelist on our ACH efforts at Better Health Together.
