A step closer to mental health in Missoula. Psychiatrists Needed.
| December 21, 2007 |  View for printing |
Since the retirement of Missoula psychiatrist Dr. Noel Hoell in July, as many as 600 people from as far away as Butte have suffered without a primary mental health caregiver.
Last month state officials received word that the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration has designated Missoula County as a Health Professional Shortage Area. Specifically the county has been deemed a low-income shortage area, which will benefit Missoula even more, says John Schroek, director of Montana’s Primary Care Office. The designation, he says, allows mental health providers in the county to apply for fiscal aid from the federal government.
