BCMC’s Tiffany Wargo Presents Rotary Program
The Rotary Club of Warren met Tuesday, June 4 inside the Fellowship Hall at First Methodist Church for its weekly gathering. Rotarian Mark Wargo had the honor of presenting the program for the day and introduced his wife Tiffany Wargo of the BCMC Rural Health Clinic. Wargo just recently started full-time at the clinic in May and is dual certified in Adult Gerontology Primary Care and is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Her main focus at the clinic will be in mental health and she spoke about the subject during the meeting. She touched on a number of topics concerning mental health and erasing the stigma around it, especially for older people where it wasn’t talked about as much growing up. She also mentioned the importance of having mental health providers in rural areas because it’s so underserved. She continued by talking about how convenient it is to have this service at a clinic that isn’t mental health specific. Some people are hesitant to go to mental health facilities, especially in small towns, out of fear of being spotted by someone they know. She touched on how difficult it can be because not all insurances cover mental health and there are a lot of patient cancellations, but she is very eager to see patients and help people in Warren and surrounding areas. She concluded her presentation by answering a few questions and handing out informational materials.
