Providing Health Care For Individuals With Intellectual Disability and Mental Health Conditions In Rural Settings Author: John Holderegger, M.S. & Ann R. Poindexter, M.D. Description: People who provide services in rural areas for individuals with intellectual disability and behavioral/psychiatric problems face a multitude of problems—and many have developed innovative, effective ways to address these problems. This book describes both the problems that are routinely faced and the solutions that have been and are being developed to solve these problems. While these solutions have occurred in rural areas, many should be readily transferable to more urban settings. John Holderegger, MS, is director of Mountain Regional Services, Inc., in Evanston, Wyoming. Ann R. Poindexter, MD, Conway Arkansas, is a primary care physician with many years of experience in working with individuals with intellectual; disability and behavioral/psychiatric problems. Both have worked together for a number of years to ensure the provision of good services for people with the two disability sets who live in rural/remote areas. 138 pages, printed 2006.
