Katie Donahoo se asoci\u00f3 por primera vez con el Centro M\u00e9dico del Condado de Howard (HCMC) en enero de 2022. Su departamento de salud mental contaba con un solo profesional cl\u00ednico que viajaba a la zona para atender a los pacientes un d\u00eda a la semana. Era una operaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica, pero HCMC ten\u00eda una visi\u00f3n: construir una cl\u00ednica de salud mental funcional y sostenible para la comunidad de St. Paul, Nebraska. Solicitaron a Blue Elephant Counseling, la empresa de Katie, que les ayudara a hacer realidad esa visi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para Katie, cuidar de la comunidad no es solo una misi\u00f3n, sino tambi\u00e9n su hogar. Nacida y criada en Grand Island, actualmente reside en Dannebrog, a solo 15 minutos de St. Paul. Entiende que, para muchas personas en zonas rurales, conducir incluso 30 minutos de ida para una cita de salud mental suele ser poco realista. \u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo conducir? Simplemente imposible. Disponer de servicios locales y ampliar el alcance mediante la telesalud es fundamental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSignifica mayor apoyo y acceso para una comunidad verdaderamente desatendida. Ayuda a reducir el estigma que rodea a la atenci\u00f3n de salud mental cuando los residentes ven que su propia comunidad invierte en estos servicios vitales\u201d, explic\u00f3 Katie. \u201cEs fundamental que estas peque\u00f1as comunidades sepan que la gente se preocupa por ellas y que apoyan su salud mental y el futuro de su comunidad\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fue una aut\u00e9ntica construcci\u00f3n desde cero. Katie y su equipo crearon toda la documentaci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica, las evaluaciones y los procesos de facturaci\u00f3n, y establecieron flujos de trabajo operativos y conformes con las normativas. Consiguieron m\u00e1s de $300,000 en subvenciones para personal de la Ley del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense para dotar de personal al departamento y ponerlo en marcha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tres a\u00f1os y medio despu\u00e9s, Ciudad Ho Chi Minh cuenta con una cl\u00ednica de salud mental plenamente operativa y sostenible que atiende a St. Paul y las comunidades aleda\u00f1as a tiempo completo. Uno de los aspectos m\u00e1s impactantes del proyecto ha sido la capacitaci\u00f3n de la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n de profesionales cl\u00ednicos de la comunidad. Katie capacit\u00f3 personalmente a dos pasantes que ahora son profesionales de salud mental con licencia a tiempo completo, profundamente integrados en la comunidad a la que sirven. Este enfoque de "cultivar tu propia salud" garantiza que la atenci\u00f3n perdure, impulsada por el apoyo local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La visi\u00f3n de HCMC ya es una realidad, con el departamento plenamente respaldado por personal capacitado, sistemas robustos y un fuerte impulso para un crecimiento continuo. Para Katie, la labor de promover y brindar atenci\u00f3n de salud mental accesible para todos en el \u00e1rea metropolitana de Nebraska contin\u00faa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCreo que ahora es el momento de defender la salud mental como estado, ya que es muy necesaria y un servicio vital\u201d, dijo Katie. \u201cCreo que se pasa por alto tanto su necesidad como su capacidad preventiva para otros problemas sist\u00e9micos de salud. Si logramos fortalecer los servicios de salud mental, creo firmemente que se reducir\u00eda la necesidad de recurrir a intervenciones m\u00e1s emergentes y costosas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe encanta la salud rural\u201d, dice Katie, \u201cporque realmente representa la cultura de Nebraska y el Medio Oeste de 'Apoya a tu comunidad'. Se construye a trav\u00e9s de peque\u00f1as instituciones lideradas y apoyadas por la comunidad. Y cuando est\u00e1s all\u00ed, eres parte de una familia\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
