[PC-BH-Integration] New project in New Orleans, LA

[Sarah Hoffpauir]

Greetings,

The Collaborative to Improve Behavioral Healthcare Access (C-IBHA)
launched its inaugural event last week in New Orleans, LA with technical
assistance provided by Dr. Harold Pincus and his colleagues, Drs. Steve
Cole, Amy Kilbourne and Karen Scott Collins.  

Seventeen non-profit healthcare organizations in Greater New Orleans,
including primary care, mental health and substance abuse providers,
attended the two day event and are working on their plans to integrate
behavioral health screenings and quality improvement measures in their
practices.

It is encouraging to be a part of your list serv and I look forward to
sharing C-IBHA progress reports as we move forward.

Best regards,
Sarah
