Description:
There is a strong movement in place regionally and
nationally to help primary care physicians integrate
mental health services into their practices. We know
that many patients with mental health problems would
rather seek care from their family doctor, as it is
less stigmatizing and more normalizing. Research shows
that 70% of all primary care visits have a psychological
basis. This training will discuss the clinical, financial
and operational aspects of integrating mental health
services into primary care practices.
Directions:
From I-40 , whether approaching from the east or west
on I-40, take Exit 50-A which is Highway 25 South
(Hendersonville Road). Head south on Hendersonville
Rd. At the second stoplight, turn right on Vanderbilt
Park Drive. Stay on Vanderbilt Park Drive, which will
make a turn to the right behind the Asheville Cardiology
building. Proceed to the roundabout and go about halfway
around. You will see the Mission Reuter Children's
Outpatient Building and directional signs to the left
for parking.
