January Education Meeting: Health Homes w/ Chris Flanagan

Oklahoma is a very recent participant in Health Homes. This poster has info.

Health Homes: The New World of Behavioral Healthcare

  Beginning this month, the State of Oklahoma has instituted the most significant change in behavioral healthcare in the last decade with the creation of Health Homes for behavioral health providers.  Health Homes allow providers to more readily focus on promoting the overall health of persons as well as their full potential for a life in the community rather than just keeping people from being sick.
  This service delivery model also creates important opportunities for NAMI, family members, and other community institutions and organizations to directly contribute to the wellbeing of persons and create healthy communities.  Still, this way of providing service is so completely new that it will demand the full and conscious participation of NAMI, family members, and the entire community for its success. 
  Come learn what the Health Homes mean specifically for Tulsa and how you can support behavioral healthcare providers as well as your loved ones.  There will also be a discussion of important service transformation paradigms such as Mind-Body Medicine, Person-Centered Philosophy, and the Public Health perspective of behavioral health.

Time & Date: January 8th, 7pm
Location: Fellowship Congregational Church, 2900 S. Harvard Ave, Tulsa, OK
For more information on the "Health Homes" concept, Read about it on the HHS Medicaid website, here.
