Boundary Regional Community Health Center, Inc.
Project Summary
RCORP funds will support staffing the mobile clinic to provide critical outreach and prevention services to the rural area which will include distribution of fentanyl test strips, Narcan, and naloxone, and SUD/OUD treatment services. The new staff builds capacity within the Behavioral Health (BH) program, increasing access to care aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality of SUD and OUD. The staffing plan includes a certified Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) primary care provider and a chemical dependency counselor. The mobile clinic will operate at least 2 days per week in the field with the possibility to expand hours as needed.
