Grant and Amount: 20-011 ($295,000) 
Grant Project Description: This program will fund the initiation of mental health services for vulnerable adults and children at the new Choptank dental practice, in an underserved area, for mental health services and substance use treatment. The Denton location currently provides integrated somatic and dental care to adults and children. The program will help promote integration of somatic and behavioral health services on-site rather than through a contractual partnership with an existing mental health provider. Choptank currently provides MAT at one other primary care practice and this grant will support provision of SUD treatment at the Denton location in subsequent years.

Grant and Amount: 18-001 ($240,000) 
Grant Project Description: This project would address dental workforce challenges in a rural area of the state by expanding access to pediatric dental services through a new dental practice in Denton. The project involves a partnership with the University of Maryland School of Dentistry to recruit a dental fellow to provide pediatric dental services in their existing clinics in Federalsburg, Goldsboro, and Cambridge. This project is innovative, could offer a replicable model in other rural communities facing dental care shortages, and is financially sustainable.
