Behavioral health problems significantly affect people’s health and quality of life, and often exist alongside physical health problems. Speakers in a one-hour webinar on December 10, 2014, discussed the benefits of integrating behavioral health into primary care, especially for low-income individuals, drawing on lessons from the Safety Net Medical Home Initiative, a five-year demonstration that was supported by The Commonwealth Fund, Qualis Health, and the MacColl Center for Health Care Innovation at the Group Health Research Institute.
