Program Design
Project Rural Recovery uses four mobile clinics to deliver integrated behavioral and physical health services in rural areas that are underserved and/or distressed counties by addressing transportation and infrastructure barriers for patients. Our goal is to serve about 2,000 Tennesseans at about 4,800 clinic visits per year. Services are free and available to individuals of all ages.
Project Rural Recovery began in 2020 with a $10 million, 5-year federal grant. Through a competitive grant application, TDMHSAS selected McNabb Center and Buffalo Valley, Inc. to serve five counties in east Tennessee and five counties in southern middle Tennessee. With additional funding provided in 2022 by Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee General Assembly, TDMHSAS expanded the program with another competitive grant application choosing Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services to serve five counties in east Tennessee and Pathways Behavioral Health to serve five counties in west Tennessee.
