[PC-BH-Integration] integration proposals

[Blount, Alexander]

As someone who trains mental health professionals to work in primary
care
(http://www.integratedprimarycare.com/Certificate%20Program_Email.htm) I
am not surprised to hear you say the co-location doesn't work, but I
wonder if you would be willing to say a bit more about what is behind
that statement.  I think it could be helpful to people who are earlier
in the process.

We've been working with the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health for about
three years.  We're an FQHC and using the care manager model similar to
IMPACT.  We tried co-location - it didn't work.  We've been funded for
service expansion funds from HRSA which stabilized the project.  I'll be
glad to respond to specific requests for information -- the Hogg website
has
a lot of the model information at
