| Recipient | Purpose | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| St Charles Health Systems Inc Bend, OR | Promoting partnership autism evaluations for early learners: the intent of this project is to integrate autism evaluations of early learners through the early intervention/early childhood special education program at the high desert esd and the pedal clinic at st. Charles medical center. Historically, academic and medical evaluations for autism spectrum disorder have been administered separately. These separate evaluations are difficult for families because of the stress and anxiety of undergoing two separate evaluations at two different locations. A pilot program that integrates the two evaluations has been underway this past year, and it has been well-received by educators, medical staff, and most importanly, children and families. | $40,000 |
| Juniper Mountain Counseling Bend, OR | Healing families - powerful interventions for mental health treatment of children and families: juniper mountain counseling (JMC) is developing a comprehensive child & family mental health program to coincide with the opening of a new facility (estimated for fall 2022). In order to meet this goal, JMC identified the need to expand training requirements for JMC's clinicians, and make strategic purchases for age and program appropriate materials. Further, JMC recognizes that children do not live in isolation, and therefore JMC's program will focus on embracing, supporting, and healing the whole family without discrimination to the configuration or members that make up a family unit. | $32,000 |
| Volunteers in Medicine Clinic of the Cascades Bend, OR | Health within reach - diabetes education with oral health and healthy food supports for low-income latinx patients: with cohqa support, volunteers in medicine (VIM) will pilot a dental health program for 12 patients who participate in VIM's diabetes education program. Patients will work weekly with VIM's two volunteer certified diabetes educators and/or VIM's staff rn diabetes care coordinator. Patients will be eligible for a $25 grocery gift card for each week they participate in diabetes education, and they will be eligible to begin dental greatment after four weeks. | $30,000 |
| Ochin Inc Portland, OR | A pilot of virtual care to connect providers and patients in underserved communities with dermatology specialists: serving over 29 million patients annually, community health centers (CHCS) comprise the us's core health-safety net particularly in rural areas where they serve one in five residents. However, access to specialty care such as dermatology for chc patients is a challenge that has only been exacerbated by the covid-19 pandemic. Currently, over 40% of us residents live in areas underserved by dermatologists. Yet, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the us. Indeed, estimates are that one in five americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. | $30,000 |
| The Peacful Presence Project Bend, OR | Compassionate care in central Oregon: advanced care planning (ACP) can be a powerful tool in helping communities to achieve improved health outcomes. Over the past year, the peaceful presence project has developed strong partnerships with regional service providers to help serve the unhoused and vulnerably-housed in Deschutes county with dignity-preserving end-of-life care. Now that this network is in place, our goal is to begin to sustain and expand aspects of this care, with a continued focus on ACP. Funding will support a robust ACP program in Deschutes county, as well as an expansion to Crook county, Jefferson county, and warm springs. | $25,339 |
| Bestcare Treament Services Inc Redmond, OR | Contingency management to enhance engagement and efficacy of medical supported recovery (MSR) treatment: contingency management refers to a type of behavioral therapy that rewards positive behavioral change and increases motivation to engage in treatment, attend sud counseling, and decrease the use of illicit substances. In addtition, contingency management motivates patients to avoid missed or delay vivitrol injections and thus reduce rates of return-to-heavy alcohol use or high-risk use of opiods. Finally, sud counseling is underutilized in treatment and providing positive reward for engagement will improve overall retention in treatment and recovery rates. | $15,000 |
| La Pine Community Health Center La Pine, OR | Tele-behavioral health project: this project will enable lapine community health center (LCHC) to meet the increasing demand for behavioral health services, enable LCHC's behavioral health patients to have greater access to services and provide a way to facilitate patient continuity of care. | $13,000 |
| Treehouse Therapies Associates Bend, OR | Treehouse therapies (TTA) professional development program: like so many health care organizations, TTA is experiencing significant burnout, stress, and overwhelm among providers during, and following, the world wide pandemic. TTA feels there is an urgent and unexpected need to address burnout in order to maintain and improve quality of care, to reduce costs, and to improve TTA's patient provider and staff experience. TTA has identified a leadership training program, by the arbinger institute, that we believe would be tremendously helpful for our new management team and the entire TTA staff. | $10,000 |
| The Shield Bend, OR | The shield's veteran counseling project removes barriers to accessing mental health services for local veterans by engaging in advocacy and providing free and confidential specialized mental health counseling. The shield provides mental health services to veterans who otherwise would not receive services and not engage in counseling. | $2,000 |
