Outcome Stories
Integrating
Behavioral Health Care into Public Health
(Buncombe County NC)
This business plan, submitted in April 2004, is being implemented
as a state pilot project. The team requested and received state-level
changes in policy and funding mechanisms to enable the project
to go forward.
Miles
of Smiles Dental Van project
(Dare Co NC)
The Dare County Miles of Smiles plan was submitted to Kate B.
Reynolds and resulted in a $280,000 start-up grant. In its first
year, the dental van hosted 1600 appointments; 44% of the children
treated received sealants. The project is filling an important
gap: over 90% of patients had demonstrable financial need and
the majority had no previous routine dental provider.
SPAY
Plan
(New Hanover County NC)
The ribbon-cutting for the Spay/Neuter Facility was held November
15, 2004. The team worked for two years prior to that time to
raise money, rally political suport and plan the new wing. Thanks
to their work, the Animal Control Services unit has removed pressure
from local vets and insured that all adopted pets leave the facility
with the appropriate spay/neuter procedure completed.
"A
Mother's House" nursing hostel
(Southeast HD, Georgia)
Up until 2001, women from across Southeast Georgia would be admitted
to the hospital to monitor them if they lived too far from Savannah,
at a cost of $1500/day. A Mother's House took over four apartments
on the Memorial Hospital campus that had been used for residents
and converted them to hostel beds for antenatal moms, with meals
and nursing care (two local hotels provide surge capacity) at
a cost of just $20/day. Mother's House opened in December 2001.
By December 2003 the project had saved $2.3 million, serving
83 patients with an average length of stay around 20 days.
