Front Avenue City & State: Prestonsburg, KY Mountain Comprehensive Care Center, Inc. (MCCC) is a CARF accredited, 501c3 non-profit organization established in 1963 and the region's only Healthcare for the Homeless Program (HCH), Community Mental Health Center, Rape Crisis Center, and Sexual Assault Crisis Center for victims of rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. As an agency, MCCC provides a continuum of health and behavioral health services to over 40,000 children, adults, and families annually - many of whom are underserved populations with health disparities. MCCC is committed to providing quality, cost-effective care to patients in rural Kentucky by expanding access to jail- and community-based health services to individuals disproportionately affected by crime, substance use, and poor health outcomes. MCCC has experience serving JI-R Individuals in Appalachian KY through three currently operational reentry programs serving residents of seven Appalachian counties. QIF-TJI programming will implement these best practices and lessons learned to serve individuals transitioning from incarceration into the communities of Pike and Johnson counties. Critical Health Needs to be addressed through programming include mental health and substance use disorder treatment needs, reducing risk of overdose, managing chronic conditions, and the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of HCV, HIV, and other infectious diseases. MCCC will also facilitate case management services and collaborate with community partners to address Health Related Social Needs, including housing insecurity, food insecurity, financial strain, lack of transp ortation, intimate partner violence, and other needs as identified. To adequately address individual needs, MCCC will continue its current partnership with Pike County Detention Center and develop its partnership with Johnson County Detention Center to coordinate client screening, assessment, and transitions in care to community-based providers as they prepare for reentry. MCCC will also partner with Sandy Valley Transportation Services, Paintsville Housing Authority, Housing Authority of Pikeville, and other community-based providers in order to meet clients’ health-related social needs post-release. Other program activities will include the provision of: - Health evaluation(s), to identify acute and chronic physical health, behavioral health, or oral health issues and associated needs. - Case management services, including reentry planning, referrals to speciality care, and connecting J-IR individuals with federal, state and local benefits programs to address critical health and health-related needs. - Primary health services including diagnosis, treatment, and medication management. - Immunizations and/or infectious disease screenings. - Behavioral health services, including MAT/MOUD and peer recovery support. - Pharmaceutical services, including medication management and MAT. - Preventive dental services. - Transportation Services. Through HRSA QIF-TJI funding, MCCC will: - Increase the number of JI-R individuals who receive in-scope health center services post-incarceration. - Improve health outcomes for JI-R individuals transitioning into the community. - Reduce recidivism among participants by improving reentry outcomes.
