Horizon Health and Wellness

Health Center Program Grantee/Federally Qualified Health Center Chief Executive Officer: Laura Larson-Huffaker, MC, LPC www.hhwaz.org

Horizon Health and Wellness has developed an innovative practice model that embodies our philosophy of whole person care while promoting wellness. This approach to health care addresses the whole person by integrating behavioral health with primary health care while promoting wellness and prevention. In this model, our medical and behavioral health staff can work with patients in the same exam rooms to ensure integrated care. Both are involved in assessments, brief interventions and follow-up with patients. Where appropriate, patients may also be referred for wellness activities (e.g. smoking cessation, nutritional education, physical activities, etc.), as well as traditional psychotherapy, and psychiatric services. Horizon Health and Wellness is excited to implement this innovative practice model at a time when health care is undergoing transformation nationally. It is our hope that our integrated model will improve outcomes for people and reduce health care costs for society.

Horizon Health and Wellness has 7 sites throughout Apache Junction, Casa Grande, Florence, Oracle, Queen Creek, and Yuma.
