Moving Integration Forward (2013)

CCSME assisted an initiative of the Maine Primary Care Association (MPCA) funded by the Jesse B. Cox Foundation to advance behavioral health and physical health integration in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Maine. As part of this initiative, CCSME with MPCA held three regional networking forums anchored by FQHCs. These forums brought together key leadership from the FQHCs and their community behavioral health partners to enhance the patient-centered medical home environment through the on-going development of community partnerships and began the process of defining guidelines and standards to guide interactions.
