Central Kansas Mental Health Center (CKMHC) is moving to accept $4 million in grant funding to implement a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic in Salina.
The funding, which comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, was announced by U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall last week. On Monday, the CKMHC board of directors voted to have executive director Kathryn Moser explore moving to the CCBHC model. (This) would be a clinic that would be adding enhanced services on top of our community mental health center, Moser said to the board members who attended in person and virtually.
Moser said this opportunity would be a welcome addition to CKMHC and the five counties it serves, Dickinson, Ottawa, Lincoln, Ellsworth and Saline, particularly when it comes to holistic approaches to treating mental health.
Dec. 16 will be remembered as a noteworthy and historic day in the history of Hutchinson healthcare when Kristy Sourk, a Registered Nurse in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hutchinson Regional Medical Center (HRMC) became the first person in Reno County to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
To quote England’s World War II Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the event seemed like the “beginning of the end” of a pandemic that has overwhelmed the world for most of 2020. The Moderna vaccine is approved and will allow more frontline workers to be vaccinated before the end of the year. Other vaccines are in the final stages of approval from the Food and Drug Administration.
