LFS CCBHC - Planning, Development, and Implementation (Fremont) - Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska (LFS) proposes to establish a new Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) in Fremont, Nebraska, to provide person- and family-centered integrated services to residents of Dodge County. According to the 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) conducted by the Three Rivers Public Health Dept, 78% of Dodge County's racial/ethnic minority population is Hispanic or Latino.

County-wide, 33% of all children under 18 years were living in single parent homes, 51% were eligible for free/reduced meals, and 38% were enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. The county is home to 2,349 veterans of whom 9% live in poverty and 33% are disabled.

LFS will augment current services at the Fremont Clinic with CCBHC-aligned services to implement or improve, including a community needs assessment within the first six months, to achieve the following goals:

Goal 1. LFS successfully implements Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) services to address consumers' unmet needs in Dodge County, including populations of focus.

Goal 2. LFS provides a comprehensive range of services and supports to improve consumers' physical and behavioral health outcomes, including populations of focus.

Goal 3. LFS increases access to high-quality mental health and SUD services, regardless of an individual's ability to pay.

LFS is an experienced and credentialed behavioral health service provider to children, youth, and adults at the Fremont Clinic, including veterans, LEP children and families, LGBTQ+ youth, and the justice-involved. It also has experience implementing and managing comprehensive, coordinated behavioral health services at a CCBHC in Lancaster County.

This project will utilize the qualified skills, knowledge, and abilities of key personnel working with a team of licensed therapists, a psychiatric prescriber, and other qualified personnel to implement a care coordination model of integrated services. The designated coordinating organizations for this project will provide outpatient clinic primary care screening and monitoring and provide prescription services.

Estimated number to be served:
Year 1: 200 individuals
Year 2: 300 individuals
Year 3: 500 individuals
Year 4: 700 individuals
Total: 1,700 individuals.
