FY 2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion - Project Title: FY 24 Behavioral Health Services Expansion (HRSA-24-078) Applicant Organization Name: Nhan Hoa Comprehensive Health Care Clinic, Inc. Grant Number: H80CS26622 Project Director Name: Jenny Nguyen, Chief Executive Officer Brief Description of the Proposed Project: Nhan Hoa Comprehensive Health Care Clinic, Inc., is a nonprofit, community-based health center located in Orange County, California. The mission of Nhan Hoa (meaning harmony among people in Vietnamese) is to provide affordable and comprehensive health services, regardless of ability to pay, to populations who may otherwise struggle to access health care due to financial, language, cultural, lifestyle, or psychological barriers. To that end, we offer a range of primary, preventive, and specialty care services, focusing on the most vulnerable and difficult-to-reach populations in Orange County. According to a recent needs assessment on our service area, nearly one-third (32.7%) of Nhan Hoa’s service area residents have incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) – a rate higher than the county, state, or nation – with nearly one-quarter (24.3%) of the service area residents coming from Vietnam. Increasing the Number of Patients Receiving Behavioral Health Services: Through the FY24 Behavioral Health Services Expansion (BHSE) initiative, Nhan Hoa will increase the number of patients receiving mental health (MH) services and increase the number of patients receiving substance use disorder (SUD) services, including patients receiving medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). We will focus our efforts on serving low-income, uninsured adults and children with a behavioral health (BH) diagnosis. With funding, Nhan Hoa will be able to start BH services at its service delivery site located at 7761 Garden Grove Blvd., Garden Grove, CA. Funding will be used for personnel in order to expand access, as well as to provide BH-related education and training opportunities for providers and staff to further their education in support of the population served by this initiative. Furthermore, funding will be use for promotional materials, as well as Electronic Health Record (EHR) licenses/upgrades. As illustrated in our 2023 Uniform Data System (UDS) report, Nhan Hoa provided MH services to 1,122 patients via 4,928 visits (3.601 clinic visits and 1,324 virtual visits). While we had 0 SUD patients, we had eight (8) patients who received medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) disorder during the reporting period. Nhan Hoa is a trusted community medical home and therefore, is well positioned to address the gaps in BH access and care. Per our current Form 5A: Services Provided, Nhan Hoa already provides MH, and SUD Services in Column I. Thus, a scope adjustment or change in scope to add the services will not be needed.
