More than 50 years ago, Terry Reilly was sent to Nampa by the Catholic Church to help the farmworker community. He started a small health clinic, which over the years grew exponentially.

Today, Terry Reilly Health Services operates clinics across southwest Idaho that do all they can to provide medical, dental, and behavioral health care to anyone who needs it regardless of their ability to pay.

We want to learn more about Terry Reilly because they have clinics in a lot of rural areas like Marsing, which is where Boise State Public Radio is holding our second panel on mental health Thursday night. Our goal is to help build connections between teens, families, and their support networks.

Britney Journee, the assistant director of behavioral health for Terry Reilly, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
