Programs under UPRAD include:
- Community Paramedic Program – The program focuses on increasing access to care for marginalized persons in geographically isolated locations such as our community.
- Mental Health Assessment Program (MHAP) – Community paramedics respond to patients in behavioral health and substance use disorder crises in place of the traditional first responder model.
- Healthcare Options & Mobility Engagement (HOME) Program – This program is again focused on increasing access to care for persons marginalized by geographic isolation.
- Physician Oversight Program (POP) – Community Paramedics team up with physicians to increase access to care for patients that are not able to get to the physician’s office, laboratory, or other services.
- Food Insecurity Support & Help (FISH) program – Connect under Food as well?! This is part of UPRHSD’s work to screen for needs related to the social determinants of health and provide referrals and support services so patients can focus on addressing their healthcare needs instead of worrying about where their next meal will come from.
The Teller County Mental Health Alliance (The Alliance) is a multi-organization collaborative supporting the mental health needs of the community.
The Alliance began in 2018 as a grassroots effort in response to growing community concerns about mental and behavioral health in the community.
Our vision is for a supportive community that offers stigma-free support, treatment, healing, and well-being for all individuals facing behavioral health challenges, including access to resources, suicide prevention, and comprehensive care navigation.
