RIDA is a primary and behavioral health center founded by Arrey I. Eyongherok, a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner. She graduated with honors, earning her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in 2017 and her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in 2019. With over eight years of diverse experience, Arrey has worked with pediatrics, adults, and individuals of all ages, including pregnant women.
RIDA's goal is to provide integrated services that combine primary healthcare and behavioral health care. By offering our patients access to primary care, behavioral health, and addiction services simultaneously, we aim to deliver comprehensive care. Our integrated model encourages collaboration with other providers and specialties to ensure safe, efficient, and high-quality care that addresses substance use, mental health, and other medical needs.
RIDA's primary care services include preventive measures and screenings. We prioritize our patients by being their first point of contact and providing person-centered care. This integrated approach to care will help optimize our patients' health and reduce disparities among groups that face inequitable access to healthcare services.
At RIDA’s Primary & Behavioral Health Center (RIDA-PBHC), we believe that behavioral health equity is a fundamental right for all individuals, regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or geographical location. Everyone deserves access to high-quality and affordable healthcare services and support.
Effective treatment typically includes rehabilitation, medication management, support groups, and psychotherapy interventions. Therefore, it is essential to implement strategies that promote behavioral health equity.
