For the next five years, CHRT will provide implementation support and serve as the evaluator of Michigan’s primary and behavioral health care integration initiative, funded by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The initiative will take place in  three underserved and disparate counties across the state—Barry County, Saginaw County, and Shiawassee County—all of which hold federal Health Professional Shortage Area designations for both mental health and primary care. CHRT will help to align site work plans, goals, and evaluation measures, conduct an annual integration self assessment survey, and provide quarterly quantitative and qualitative updates.
