Cost Savings
CDD REACH is working together with community partners and other telehealth programs throughout the state!
A Better Use of Resources
- Our dollars can be stretched to provide more follow-up and support
- 65,173 miles saved, for total savings of $26,062.20
- Parents don’t have to travel, and are able to access services they couldn’t otherwise receive
Working with our partners
- CDD REACH utilizes existing telehealth technology wherever it is in a community:
- Hospitals, clinics, school based health or regional education centers, community colleges or universities, early intervention programs, or mental health centers
- Community sites are supported by multiple federal, state and private funding sources for institutions and projects
- SBIRT, ECHO, FQHCs, NMDOH, NMPED, ENVISION NM, and others
- Over the past 5 years, CDD REACH community access has grown from an original four sites to current use of almost 100 sites when needed, in 23 counties.
