Rural Reimagined Faculty Grant Program Recognizes Dr. Matthew Langford

464

Rural Reimagined would like to recognize Dr. Matthew Langford (Nursing) for receiving Level 3 funding ($10,000-$25,000) from our Faculty Grant Program. Dr. Langford proposed his project titled “Rural Reimagined: The Urgent Care Mental Health Model,” which hopes to increase accessibility for urgent, non-crisis care and mental health services in Tennessee’s rural Upper Cumberland. By increasing access to mental health resources, his project could provide large-standing social implications, such as improving local mental health, decreasing stress on local law enforcement and emergency departments, and guiding other communities to build similar programs through the dissemination of the project model. We congratulate Dr. Langford and encourage other faculty members to submit their ideas in the future!
