Integrative Care: Primary Care and Mental Health

header-with-text.png

The Integrative Care network is an online professional learning community designed to increase the knowledge and implementation of integrative care involving primary and mental health care across Wyoming.

Integrative care is the care a patient experiences as a result of a team of primary care and behavioral health clinicians, working together with patients and families, using a systematic and cost-effective approach to provide patient-centered care for a defined population. This care may address mental health and substance abuse conditions, health behaviors (including their contribution to chronic medical illnesses), life stressors and crises, stress-related physical symptoms, and ineffective patterns of health care utilization.

Network participants include physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, counselors and others involved in primary care and mental health services.

UW ECHO in Integrative Care is a collaboration with the University of Wyoming College of Health Sciences Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing, with funding by a generous grant from the McMurry Foundation.


Sessions

Sessions are on Tuesdays, bi-weekly, 12:00 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. MT via Zoom video conferencing technology.
