HRSA Announces Major Investment to Integrate Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services into Primary Care
On September 19, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced $240 million in awards to launch and expand mental health and substance use disorder services in more than 400 HRSA-funded community health centers that provide care for more than 10 million people across the country.
HRSA-funded health centers are a primary source of care for people who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in Medicaid, making them well-positioned to respond to the urgent need for high-quality behavioral health services that are stigma-free, culturally competent, and readily accessible.
The grants will help expand access to needed care to help tackle the nation’s behavioral health and opioid crises.
