OB/GYN: Project CARA

Project CARA utilizes a Hub and Spokes model, where Project CARA at MAHEC Biltmore is the Hub. Our Hub provides the highest level of access to outpatient care delivery services. Additionally, a hub collaborates with outside perinatal substance use care delivery teams/the community to improve systems of care. Hubs also provide ongoing consultation and support to spokes (see spoke model - click to enlarge) and other providers caring for this population.

A spoke includes the most integral pieces of the program model, as well as a relationship with the hub to provide ongoing support and development of their program. If your program is interested in learning more about becoming a spoke, please contact projectcara@mahec.net.
