Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc. (GOBHI)
“Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc. (GOBHI) is a nonprofit behavioral health organization. GOBHI is an Oregon Health Plan administrator engaging in a variety of innovative services and initiatives to improve health and wellness across Oregon’s rural and frontier communities.
Our work in the Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization improves the system of care, promotes better health outcomes, and lowers costs through effective integration with physical, behavioral, and oral health.
GOBHI continues to raise the bar by investing in prevention and social determinants of health. We advocate at local, state, and national levels for what works along the full continuum of healthcare services.
Because we recognize that no singular healthcare entity can improve the system of care in isolation, we forge dynamic partnerships with our friends and neighbors across the healthcare universe. GOBHI works closely with local planning groups, schools, child welfare, senior services, mental health, addictions, corrections, and other key groups. We believe in prevention, recovery, and positive outcomes.”

Michigan State University Extension Managing Farm Stress
“Every day, farmers take meticulous care of their animals and crops, ensuring they are healthy and safe. Yet farmers need support to manage their own stress and fatigue. This stress can become especially intense when an on-farm injury occurs, commodity prices are low or natural disasters decrease yield.
Whether these stresses come from a financial issue or the stresses of everyday life, MSU Extension can help. If you’re concerned about yourself, a family member, a friend or a neighbor, MSU Extension has a suite of resources and educators that can help identify and manage stress.”
