You have spoken and we hear you. Health care providers in Michigan communities are frustrated with the lack of access to specialty-level treatment and are treating patients with complex conditions.
In response to these intense and ongoing challenges, we are offering an ECHO® (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) program for providers who are seeking guidance and support when treating patients with complex behavioral health concerns.
ECHO is a telementoring platform that leverages video conference technology to connect subject matter experts with primary care teams in local communities, fostering an “all teach, all learn” approach.
Next series: Dates and topics for future MC3 Project ECHO clinics will be announced on this page.
