Dr. OZ On The Brett Winterble Show
from The Brett Winterble Show Hosted by Urban One
Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We're joined by Dr. Oz from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to talk about rural health care and expanding mental health services for children in North Carolina. Oz discusses a new federal investment aimed at increasing access to behavioral health care in rural communities, including school-based services, telehealth and mobile care. He explains how bringing care directly to schools and communities could help children receive treatment without traveling long distances or being separated from their local support systems. The conversation also touches on mental health challenges facing veterans and the importance of early diagnosis and access to treatment. Oz discusses the broader $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program, which provides funding to states over five years to strengthen rural health systems and expand access to care. North Carolina received approximately $213 million for its first-year award, with the state's plan focused on improving rural health access and behavioral and mental health services.
