Here's a quick snapshot:
🎂 WIC turns fifty! Did you know OneWorld's WIC clinic is the largest in the state and proudly serves nearly 5,000 people each month?
👷♀️ OneWorld is set to break ground on its 4th building on the Livestock Exchange campus next month — a space to support behavioral health services; to address workforce capacity needs; and improve access to quality early childhood education and care.
♥➡🧠 Traditional Behavioral Health Therapist Brittany Swain, LIMHP, CPC, LADC, Family Medicine and Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner Ian Mitchell, APRN and Psychiatrist Shannon Kinnan, MD — a NATIONAL leader for her work implementing Advanced Integrative Mental Health Services (AIMS) — share a powerful anecdote on how OneWorld’s behavioral health care services are transforming lives.
😷🏡🚌 Associate Director of Operations Idania Ramirez, Behavioral Health Therapist and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor Trainer Longfellow Marquez, LIMHP, LMHP, LADC, Behavioral Health Therapist Karla Deacon and Social Worker Jair Alvarez remind us that no patient lives in a vacuum; providing quality care means addressing the social determinants of health (e.g., access to health care, housing, healthy food and transportation) and understanding the impact of race, ethnicity, language, work status, as well as the weight of systemic racism and inequality.
🏫📚 Mindee Swanson, DNP, PMHS, APRN, Behavioral Health Therapist Kevin Heeb, PLMHP and Tania Murrell, BSN, RN, shed light on the rising behavioral health needs of young people in our community – and the steps OneWorld’s School-Based Health Centers are taking to help a generation of young people who are, for a variety of reasons, more isolated than ever before.
🩺Physician Assistant Cody Thorson, PA-C, who shares his time between OneWorld’s Stephen Center Clinic and main campus clinics, explains why collaborations between medical, behavioral health and social work are so important for meaningful patient outcomes.
