Bighorn Valley Health Center, Inc.

Goals of the Proposed Project In light of the demonstrated need and gaps in available services, we propose the following goals for our RCORP-NAS project. Methods for providing behavioral health care services throughout the preconception, prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum stages are detailed with theses goals in mind. Goal #1: Reduce structural- and systems-level barriers (e.g., transportation challenges, limited workforce, reimbursement issues, etc.) to: a. Increase access to behavioral health care, especially substance use disorders, including opioid use disorder (SUD/OUD), services for rural pregnant and postpartum persons and their families; and b. Address community risk factors and social determinants of health. II. Goal #2: Strengthen the quality and sustainability of behavioral health care services for rural pregnant and postpartum persons and their families by implementing coordinated, evidence-based, trauma-informed, family-centered SUD/OUD and other services.
