Using Integrated Behavioral Health to Reduce Healthcare Disparities: Primary Care Behavioral Health Strategies Serving Rural Populations

The Northwest MHTTC is excited to collaborate with Dr. Phillip Hawley from the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic to deliver a live webinar as part of our Integrated Care webinar series.

This training will outline the foundations of the primary care behavioral health (PCBH) model of integration and discuss a variety of clinical applications to why meeting patients where they are at and working within the primary care system provides holistic and quality to patient care. The presenter will also provide statistics and case examples highlighting how this approach covers gaps in our healthcare system and works towards true population health strategies. This event conveys information applicable to rural settings.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand what PCBH is and how this is defined
  • See examples of how this model address social determinants of health to reduce healthcare disparity
  • Learn clinical applications about how holistic primary care that encompasses behavioral health allows for improved outcomes in behavioral health and physical health metrics.
