TopicMental Health
ContentIncentives to promote shared-facility agreements between community mental health and community centers to encourage comprehensive health services for perons of limited financial means. Mental illness and substance abuse disorders do not occur in a vacuum. People experiencing these disorders also have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other illness. The state should explore incentives, such as one-time capital assistance funds, to encourage the co-location of community mental health and community health centers. A "medical mall" approach will greatly benefit individual health and also encourage early detection and prevention of disease.
