Episode Overview
- Mendonoma Health Alliance's upcoming mobile health clinic, anti-stigma campaign, and peer recovery program
- Challenges of providing healthcare services in a rural community with limited access
- Innovative strategies to bridge the gap and improve healthcare access
- Impact of the #OvercomingAddiction campaign on the community's perception of addiction
- Partnerships with public health for promoting anti-stigma campaigns and reaching the community
We started working with public health because we know in LEND, in the Ukiah area, they have a big reach in the community. They also had access to some other human resources, people in the community who could really help promote the campaign. We started on our journey. In the first year, we did mainly one video. It was a four-minute video that really gave a whole county-wide view of addiction. And we included people who are in recovery in that campaign and their stories. And then it really got traction.
Imagine living in a rural area where healthcare services are few and far between. This episode of 'Rural Roads' shines a spotlight on Micheline White, the Executive Director of Mendonoma Health Alliance, who is making waves in Gualala, CA. Micheline talks about their soon-to-launch mobile health clinic, designed to bring essential healthcare services directly to those who need them most. She also dives into their #OvercomingAddiction campaign, which aims to break down the walls of stigma surrounding opioid use.
But that's not all – Micheline shares insights into their peer recovery program, a cornerstone of their approach to tackling addiction in the community. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or just curious about innovative healthcare solutions in rural areas, this episode offers a mix of inspiration and practical advice. You'll hear about the unique challenges they face, like limited access to healthcare, and the creative strategies they're using to overcome these hurdles.
Tune in for a dose of hope and resilience straight from the heart of rural America.
