CHNA 2013 Primary Research - Hannibal NE MO 6 Counties N= 794 ID County ZIP c1 c2 c3 Are there healthcare services in your community / neighborhood that you feel need to be improved and / or changed? (Please be specific) 1800 Marion 63401 DENT More dental services for Medicaid and uninsured 1349 Marion 63401 DENT The way some dentist treat patient 1074 marion 63401 DENT There is virtually no dental care for people who do not have insurance or for those who have Medicaid. There are no mental health services for those without insurance and no inpatient beds for very mentally ill people. ER services are erratic - ER docs routinely do not understand the medical interrelationships of psych meds and other meds used to treat chronic health problems. 1602 Marion 63401 DENT 1542 Marion 63401 DENT We need a dentist for adults so we can take care of our teeth. Yes, we need dentists. Yes, free clinic will pull. But not everyone needs pulled, some need fillings. 1791 Pike 63334 DENT I know of one dentist and one physician whom I personally feel shouldn't be practicing--based on various outcomes with acquaintances and my family. They're not my doctors. 1765 Pike 63339 DENT 1505 Pike 63334 DENT BH BH 1672 Pike 62312 DENT 63401 DENT PEDS 1516 Pike 63353 DERM 1758 Pike 63353 DIAB 1390 Marion 63461 DOCS 1196 marion URG 63461 DOCS C1,C2,C3 denotes openend theme codes No dental for adults on Medicaid. Pediatric dental services, mental health, weekend doctor hours for sick visits. We need more options for dental care covered by Medicaid for children and we need more mental health providers. Medicaid for adults only pays for psychiatrists or psychologists which means people in Pike County who need those services either have to go to Hannibal, Mexico, or Troy. My experience with providers in Hannibal has been that they won't provide an outpatient case manager for someone who has a case manager for a patient who already has a DD case manager. This is something that needs to be changed in order to better meet the needs of residents in Pike County who have both a mental disorder and a developmental delay. Currently, the residents have to travel to Mexico, Missouri in order to receive these services. It only seems fair that they be able to have more options for care and that they not have to travel so far to receive the treatment they need. Denististry and Orthodonics, to recieve the special care my child needed I had to drive 2 hours away. ORTH 1378 Ralls URG 63353 DENT 1302 Pike, IL EMER BH dental, pediatrics, mental health, speciality, womens health Dermatologist too far away for the elderly. Need a diabetic specialist and family practice doctors open at different hours. If you work 8-4:30, you cannot get in to see the doctor or there is a long wait time. better doctors. Retain the good physicians and staff that have been loyal to our area. Quit using people whom are not qualified in areas that do not have the experience to lead in higher postions. We do not need puppets, we need people who get the jobs done correctly. Hannibal_Openends_1 113
