Pennsylvania Older Adult Medical Resource Information Initiative

A $15,000 National Network of Libraries of Medicine grant will allow the Pennsylvania Behavioral Health and Aging Coalition to research, coordinate, develop, and implement the Pennsylvania's Older Adult Medical Resource Information Initiative through the course of the eight month funding period. The staff of PBHAC will use the National Network of Library of Medicine resources and staff support to identify methods of incorporating information about NN/LM resources into PBHAC's three established programs - Behavioral Health Connection trainings, Behavioral Health Training Services, and Cross System Collaborative Technical Assistance Calls/Technical Assistance Calls. In the execution of the Pennsylvania Older Adult Medical Resource Information Initiative the Board and Administration of PBHAC expects that a minimum of 6,000 Pennsylvania older 88, their caregivers and loved ones; and professional medical, behavioral health, mental health, drug and alcohol, and social services staff will be provided with information about how to access National Network of Library of Medicine resources.
