 Promoting healthy lifestyles in Missouri ~ one person at a time

  
Welcome to the MOSBIRT site!

MOSBIRT expands the existing continuum of care to include screening individuals for risky alcohol, tobacco, prescription and other drug use in general medical settings. There is an emerging body of research and clinical experience that supports the use of SBIRT as a set of effective interventions for persons at risk. These services have proven to significantly reduce ongoing medical costs, reduce the use of alcohol and drugs, and increase levels of abstinence.

  

Welcome to our newest site!

 

 

Grace Hill Neighborhood Health Centers (Grace Hill) in St. Louis, Missouri is the newest site to implement MOSBIRT services. Grace Hill provides primary and preventive health care through five community health centers serving low income and uninsured residents in 45 census tracts in the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County. Queen of Peace Center, an alcohol and drug abuse treatment agency, is collaborating with Grace Hill on this project. Queen of Peace has hired 4 Health coaches to screen patients at the Grace Hill sites. Limited screening services began at Grace Hill on May 14, 2010. We welcome both organizations to the Project!
