Room 5
Originally from Kansas, Cheryl Holmes, MPA, joined the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare in 2002 and now serves as an Associate Researcher. Typically employing community based approaches, her work focuses on behavioral health, integrated care, and working with rural and frontier populations. Previous research and evaluation work has included primary/behavioral health integrated care across the life span, shared decision making for teens with SED and their families, and patient-centered medical homes in rural settings, among others. Ms. Holmes currently is the project lead on an award to engage migrant and seasonal farmworkers and those who serve them in health care research. She is also the evaluator on a multi-year federal grant that supports clinical master’s degree social work students as they prepare for working with youth, particularly in team based and integrated care settings.
