WDBJ7 interviewed PATHS' Behavioral Health Program Director, Brian Tubbs.

In partnership with Broad Axe Care Coordination, PATHS uses telehealth solutions to transform chronic disease management in high-risk, high-cost patient populations.

Piedmont Access To Health Services, Inc. (PATHS) is pleased to announce a grant award to the Boydton Dental Center from the Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF) in the amount of $80,000.

PATHS beat their own record this year!  In 2013, 30 patients lost a total of 1,100 lbs. In 2014, 35 patients (with the coaching help of their Provider, Elizabeth Hagan, NP-C) lost 1,402 lbs.  That’s almost ¾ of a ton!

It was a long day, and the senators sitting on the committee were obviously growing tired and asked that if a topic had already been covered that folks attending would not speak. Since participants before me had already addressed my concerns over not expanding Medicaid, I declined to speak.
