John Day selected for two-year Oregon health care demonstration project Blue Mountain Eagle Community Counseling Solutions in John Day was one of 12 sites in Oregon selected to participate in a two-year Certified Com- munity Behavioral Health Clinic program. Oregon was one of eight states in a two-year demon- stration project to imple- ment CCBHCs and evalu- ate the impact of these new providers on access, cost and quality of community behavioral health care, ac- cording to a press release from CCS. The programs seek to integrate compo- nents of physical health, or primary care, into behavior- al health settings to address the whole person. Oregon’s Health Author- ity selected providers for the demonstration project across the state that rep- resented urban, rural and frontier communities. CCS was uniquely positioned for this opportunity, as a rural health center with a prima- ry care provider, along with a community behavioral health program, all under the same roof. “I see the CCBHC proj- ect as a bridge linking pri- mary care and behavioral health, removing barriers to quality health care,” CCS Executive Director Kim- berly Lindsay said in the release. “It’s an incredible opportunity to serve the people of Grant County and strengthen relationships with our partners in the health care field.” By offering a compre- hensive array of services, with standards focused on coordination of care, the goal is higher quality care, compared to a model that focuses on quantity of care. A core component of this effort is testing whether screening Medicaid bene- ficiaries for health-related social needs (tobacco, al- cohol and drug use), along with referrals to commu- nity-based health services, will improve quality and affordability of health care. At a minimum, the goal of the CCBHC model is to assist Medicaid benefi- ciaries struggling with un- met health-related social needs become aware of the community-based services available to them and re- ceive timely assistance ac- cessing those services. Community Counseling Solutions is located at 528 E. Main St., John Day. For more information, call 541- 575-1466. JOHN DAY VIDEO & ELECTRONICS 05755 Dayville School students, from kindergartners to up- perclassmen, rolled up their sleeves for the May 25 solar eclipse work day. The event was held countywide with other schools involved, includ- ing Prairie City and Grant Union. Dayville city recorder Ruthie Moore said students from Dayville School help spruce up their town every couple of years. This year, students, teachers and teacher’s aides worked for two hours, pull- ing weeds, planting flowers and picking up litter. Others had roller brushes in hand to paint sidewalk curbs and trash can holders. “The kids were great,” Moore said. “We accom- plished a lot of things in a pretty short amount of time, and they did it with smiles on their faces. I think they had a good time, and they got ice cream afterward.” In Dayville, the eclipse will happen the morning of Monday, Aug. 21, with the partial phase starting at 9:08 a.m. and totality starting at 10:21:43 a.m. and lasting 2 minutes, 1 second.
