南达科他州拨1300万美元升级社区行为健康诊所
南达科他州州长 Larry Rhoden 日前在州府皮埃尔宣布，将向全州认证社区行为健康诊所（CCBHC）发放12笔现代化与基础设施补助，总额超过1300万美元，资金来自“乡村医疗转型”（RHT）计划。州长办公室称，补助将用于扩大服务供给、建设危机服务、升级信息技术基础设施并扩充专业队伍；下一轮分配预计于今秋晚些时候公布。全州共13家 CCBHC 于2026年4月经公开申请遴选产生，州长已签署 HB 1044 法案为 RHT 提供拨款。在人口稀疏的乡村地区，精神科与心理咨询资源长期紧张，居民跨县就诊是常态，出现危机时往往难以及时获得评估与床位。对旅美华人而言，语言文化隔阂更容易放大就医焦虑，可靠的社区行为健康网络因此更显重要。据州长办公室安排，下一轮补助名单预计今秋晚些时候公布，全州13家机构的升级进度，将决定乡村居民能否更快获得心理健康与危机干预服务。这笔拨款也把联邦乡村医疗资金直接落到一线诊所，为其他州提供了具体样本。（来源：南达科他州州长办公室）
South Dakota Invests Over $13 Million in Community Behavioral Health Clinics
South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden has announced 12 modernization and infrastructure grants for the state's Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), totaling more than $13 million under the Rural Health Transformation (RHT) program. The governor's office said the funds will expand service capacity, build crisis services, upgrade IT infrastructure and grow the behavioral-health workforce; the next funding round will be announced later this fall. The state's 13 CCBHCs were chosen through a competitive public process in April 2026, and the governor has signed HB 1044 to appropriate RHT funding. In sparse rural regions, psychiatrists and counselors are chronically scarce, and patients in crisis often cannot get timely assessment or a bed. For Chinese immigrants, language and cultural barriers can widen that gap further, which is why community-based clinics close to home matter. The grants put federal rural-health money directly into frontline clinics and offer a concrete example of how transformation funds reach patients. (Source: Office of the Governor of South Dakota)
