Bluegrass Primary Health Care Center

Bluegrass Primary Health Care Center (bphcc) is a federally qualified Health Center providing comprehensive Care to the community. Bphcc was originally established in 2001, with a federal grant to serve local farm workers. Additional grant funding allowed an expansion to serve persons experiencing homelessness. Bphcc serves over 10,500 patients in an eight county service area including: fayette, woodford, jessamine, garrard, madison, clark, bourbon, and scott counties. As many of Kentucky's migrant and seasonal farm workers are spanish speakers, bphcc employs bilingual staff who speak english and spanish. It also utilizes language line interpretation to ensure that all patients have access to clinic services in any language. Bphcc serves the migrant farm worker and the homeless in clinic and with outreach services inclusive of a medical team going to various locations to provide access to Care. Bphcc utilizes the integrated Care model in which behavioral Health services are offered in the Primary Care setting. Behavioral Health services include lifestyle support for chronic disease management and outpatient counseling for mental Health and substance use needs. The behavioral Health providers work in conjunction with the Primary Care provider to evaluate the mind-body-behavior connection and provide brief, solution-focused interventions to support improved Health outcomes.
