ABOUT TARA TUCKER
Innovative program design around Community Paramedicine/EMS and mental health and substance use is my speciality. With over 28 years of experience in integrative, whole person health, I design system approaches aimed at tackling the mental health and opioid crises, address system gaps, link siloed service providers, and address the health of the whole person.My diverse experiences have provided me with a vast skill set including behavioral health, case management/care transitions, EMS, supervisory skills, quality management and data analysis, and budgeting skills. I also have experience working with software vendors to design products to meet a variety of healthcare needs. I believe holistic health & community-based treatment are paramount to helping manage chronic health conditions whether they are related to medical, mental health or substance use issues. No one agency can work alone partnerships and out-of-the-box thinking are must haves. It is important to maximize resources and create a model that is a win-win for everyone, especially the patients. With this thought process, it is easy to incorporate 8 Dimensions of Wellness and address Social Determinants of Health. Having a solid foundation in case management along with understanding how the behavioral health world operates have been instrumental to my unique thought process. My distinctive professional skill set and passion set me apart from the rest.
