加州慶祝河濱行為健康村破土動工

河濱大學醫療系統獲得 8,000 萬美元撥款，用於改善河濱縣的行為健康基礎設施

薩克拉門托— Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) ) 於6 月12 日加入河濱大學衛生系統，慶祝名為Wellness Village 的新行為健康和身體保健校園破土動工，該校園將為需要心理健康和藥物濫用障礙的個人提供服務治療。 DHCS 向河濱大學醫療系統撥款超過 8000 萬美元，用於建立一個安全空間，以彌補行為健康治療方面的差距。

The portions of the campus funded through this effort will enable Riverside University Health System to provide critical resources to more than 20,900 community members annually.

With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built.

「長期以來，全州各地的社區，包括河濱縣在內，都缺乏足夠的資源來滿足重要的行為健康與身體健康需求，」加州衛生與人類服務部（DHCS）社區服務處處長馬莉絲·佩雷斯表示。「健康村將成為首座此類社區中心，為有需要的家庭提供全方位且以社區為本的服務。」

除了提供初級及專科醫療與心理健康照護、物質使用障礙治療、藥房服務及危機介入服務外，「健康村」還將提供社會服務，例如「婦女、嬰兒與兒童計畫」（WIC）以及就業準備培訓。心理健康及物質使用障礙治療服務將為成人和兒童提供一整套連續性照護，內容涵蓋危機穩定處理、住院治療、復健、門診治療，以及清醒中心。

“The Wellness Village represents a transformative step forward in how we deliver health care, blending hope, healing, and innovation into one cohesive location,” said Riverside University Health System Behavioral Health Director Dr. Matthew Chang. “This project is designed to provide holistic care, addressing behavioral health, physical health, and social support, all in a nurturing and inviting environment. By integrating these essential services, we are creating a comprehensive and accessible system that will significantly enhance the quality of life for our community. Our vision is to foster a place where individuals can find the care they need, all in one location, surrounded by a community that supports their journey to wellness.”

這項工作是兒童和青少年行為健康倡議的一部分，是一項歷史性投資，該投資提供撥款，以建造新設施和擴展現有設施，幫助兒童，青少年，以及懷孕或產後患有精神健康和/或藥物使用障礙的兒童，以及他們的家庭。

RIVERSIDE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM PROJECT: The Riverside University Health System Wellness Village will embody a full-service behavioral health and physical health care campus that serves as a safe, monitored, and therapeutic community and living space while simultaneously delivering high-quality, person-first treatment for behavioral and physical health. Individuals and their families will be able to move through the campus’ continuum of care, from intensive oversight and treatment activities to decreased therapeutic contact, enabling them to prepare for a self-sustained recovery grounded in their community.

This project is the first of its kind and hosts a multitude of other wraparound and onsite community services. In addition to grant-funded services, the campus will include recovery residences, transitional living, a primary care health clinic, a pet hotel, and a grocery store for residents. With a focus on social drivers of health, the Wellness Village is designed to deliver care and outreach that supports people in their physical, behavioral, and spiritual growth. The Wellness Village was funded through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) Round 3: Launch Ready and Round 4: Children and Youth.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: Through BHCIP, DHCS awards eligible entities funding to construct, acquire, and expand properties and invest in mobile crisis infrastructure to further expand the range of community-based behavioral health treatment options for people with mental health and substance use disorders. BHCIP addresses historic gaps in the behavioral health care system to meet the growing demand for services and supports throughout the lifespan of people in need.

DHCS was authorized through 2021 legislation to award $2.2 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute roughly $4 billion in BHCIP grants under Proposition 1 bond funds. Proposition 1 includes the Behavioral Health Services Act and Behavioral Health Bond Act of 2024; more information about Proposition 1 can be found at mentalhealth.ca.gov. Behavioral Health Transformation is DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds monthly public listening sessions. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation webpage.

ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 3: LAUNCH READY:BHCIP 第三輪計畫支持了各項籌備工作，旨在規劃全州範圍內行為健康基礎設施的建置與擴建。這 45 處設施的總經費為 5.185 億美元，用於新建、購置及翻新房地產資產，以擴展行為健康治療與服務資源的連續性。BHCIP 申請者須證明其專案能與行為健康治療及服務的連續性體系相結合，並在服務 Medi-Cal 會員的機構中實施，同時須具備有效的規劃流程，以確保專案已準備就緒，可付諸實施。

關於 BHCIP 第四輪：兒童和青少年：BHCIP Round 4 focused on Californians ages 25 and younger, including pregnant and postpartum women and their children and youth ages 16-25, along with their families. The 52 awards totaling $480.5 million allowed for new construction and expansion of multiple outpatient and residential facility types, including children’s crisis residential programs, perinatal residential substance use disorder facilities, community wellness/youth prevention centers, and outpatient treatment for substance use disorders.
