Mental Health Care Deserts in Eastern NC
Eastern NC has the worst provider shortage in the state. The federal government marks many of these counties as shortage areas. Here is what people run into:
- A 3 to 6 month wait to see a psychiatrist
- The closest provider 60 to 90 miles away
- No bus or van to get there
- Depression, anxiety, and ADHD that go untreated for years
Bertie County
One of the most rural counties in NC. It also has the highest poverty rate in the state. Very few providers work here.
Hyde County
The fewest people per square mile in NC. The closest clinic can be 60 miles away. Video is often the only way to be seen.
Tyrrell County
The federal government marks this county as a shortage area for mental health. Video visits make a big difference here.
Hertford & Gates Counties
Rural northeast NC. Almost nothing local. A visit in person means a long drive.
Scotland & Richmond Counties
Many people here went years without coverage. Medicaid expansion helped, but there are still few providers to see.
Video care changes the math.
Someone in Bertie County can open a phone or a laptop and see a board-certified provider that day. With Trillium Health Medicaid, it costs nothing. There is no two-hour drive and no wait list.
