A telehealth initiative in Idaho providing mental health services to a remote population of at-risk patients is receiving a $100,000 grant from Premier Inc., the Charlotte, N.C.-based healthcare alliance.
The grant, called “The Cares Award” aims to recognize exemplary efforts by not-for-profit community organizations to improve the health of populations in need. The Telepsychiatry Improves Outcomes in Frontier Communities, based in Orofino, Idaho, provides telehealth services to pediatric psychiatric patients who lack access to care in this frontier region.
