Over the past two years, The Dimock Center in Roxbury has been one of the leading community centers in the country in efforts to integrate behavioral health with pediatrics. Spearheading this effort is Dr. Nandini Sengupta, Dimock’s medical director of Health Services, who also serves as the director of the Behavioral Health Pediatrics Integration Program. Of the program, she says, “We’re really one of the few practices doing it right now. We have a team of primary care staff and mental health clinicians plus a psychiatrist sitting in the same space, co-managing the patient at the same time. We’re bringing that model into OB-GYN.” Beginning this fall, The Dimock Center is expanding the integration of mental health care and obstetric care for all women who receive prenatal services at Dimock. The focus is on early detection and treatment of depression in pregnancy. Sengupta, who has been prac- (L-R): A Dimock Center patient with Dr. Nandini Sengupta, The Dimock Center’s medical director. (Photos courtesy of The Dimock Center) ticing at Dimock for almost 20 years, says this program came about when “one of our social workers gave a general talk to a group of pregnant women in our Centering Pregnancy program (group prenatal visits for women who are at the same gestational age), about signs and symptoms of depression and was overwhelmed by their response.” She added, “That’s when we realized the huge unmet need.” The Dimock Center was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $10,000 by the Community Partnership Fund through Children’s Hospital. The funding will pay for a Licensed Social Worker (LICSW) to be on site four days a week, adjacent to the clinic at all initial obstetric appointments. Typically, all women at their initial prenatal care appointment are required to fill out a Patient Health Questionnaire Nine (PHQ9) form. The form contains Fall Education GuidE (L-R): Dr. Nandini Sengupta, medical director, and Dr. Holly Oh, The Dimock Center’s chief medical officer.
