Health Working Group: Integrating Mental and Physical Healthcare

The deck is stacked against integrated, patient-centered care. Physical and mental health care are generally provided by separate nonprofits, overseen by different government agencies and reimbursed inequitably in our communities. Cause for despair? No!

• We have a vision � coordinated, high quality, affordable, patient-centered care � this includes integration!
• We know there are islands of excellence � people & organizations in our region striving to integrate mental health & primary care.
• We can integrate care by sharing knowledge, improving practice, and building political will.
