Since 2006, improving mental health care has been a key focus for theFoundation, and more than $7 million has been invested toward that goal.
Asignificant investment was made in the development of integrated behavioralhealth (IBH) programs at People`s Community Clinic and Lone Star Circle of Care.Both programs represent a progressive approach that recognizes theinterconnections between mental and physical health by offering mental healthservices on-site and in collaboration with primary care. As part of the investment in mental health, the Foundation commissioned Dr. ToniWatt, a sociologist at Texas State University, to conduct a three-year processand outcome evaluation of the two programs. The report is being issued inconjunction with today`s funding announcement by the Foundation. The completereport is available online at The report concludes there has been a reduction in depression scores in bothprograms that exceeds established outcomes for other similar programs, areduction in emergency room use by patients enrolled in one of the programs, andcost-savings to one of the clinics as soon as one year after implementation. “Over the past four years, we have awarded mental health grants in our communityin excess of $7 million, and we are starting to see significant results,” saidEarl Maxwell, chief executive officer “As Dr.
Watt`s study shows, integratedbehavioral health care appears to be a promising solution, and we are pleased tosupport these innovative programs.” Dr. Watt`s report states that both IBH programs are exceeding established mentalhealth goals, improving the physical health and functioning of patients, andreducing or containing costs of IBH patients.
