Prevention and Treatment Team
Health Program Specialists plan, implement and evaluate
health services and activities. They develop outreach strategies for
target and at-risk populations; collaborate with community members and other
public and private services and groups, and serve as a consultant and technical
advisor to assigned programs. Here at the Bureau of Behavioral Health,
Wellness and Prevention, Health Program Specialists work one-on-one with
treatment providers and community prevention coalitions to monitor compliance
with grant objectives and reporting requirements. They participate in the
funding process by reviewing proposals submitted by programs and review monthly
requests for reimbursement submitted to our office by the funded
programs. Health Program Specialists provide guidance and technical
assistance to funded providers regarding data collection and emerging trends.
