Wythe Physician Practices Provider Earns Virginia Mental Health Access Program Recognition

WYTHEVILLE, VA- JULY 8, 2026 - Wythe Physician Practices is proud to recognize Tessa Chaney for earning recognition through the Virginia Mental Health Access Program (VMAP), a statewide initiative dedicated to improving access to mental and behavioral healthcare for children, adolescents, young adults, and pregnant and postpartum patients.

By completing a VMAP educational pathway and earning a VMAP Recognition Badge, Tessa Chaney has demonstrated a commitment to strengthening her knowledge and skills in pediatric mental health care. The recognition highlights her dedication to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and supporting the overall well-being of patients and families in our community.

VMAP is a state- and federally funded program available at no cost to Virginia providers.

By participating in programs such as VMAP, providers gain valuable tools and resources that enhance the care they deliver every day.

“Recognition through VMAP reflects a provider’s dedication to continued learning and excellence in patient care,” said Wythe Physician Practices Service Director, Zane Perkins. “We are proud of Tessa’s achievement and her ongoing commitment to meeting the healthcare needs of our community.”
