  • Developing and expanding capacity to serve uninsured and/or medically underserved Virginians
  • Establishing a broader scope of services by adding new primary care services to currently offered services, or using telemedicine to expand access to an underserved area
  • Accelerating licensure of behavioral health professionals, especially in mental health professional shortage areas
  • Creating local, coordinated systems of care
