A long-term partner of Access Community Health Network (ACCESS), United Way of Metropolitan Chicago awarded ACCESS a two-year grant to expand its behavioral health services, which include mental health, behavior change and substance abuse disorder counseling services. The expansion, which has also been supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Bureau of Primary Health Care, is significant because behavioral health evaluation and treatment is an integrated part of ACCESS’ patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model of care. Going forward, ACCESS will be providing behavioral health services to almost 3,000 more patients per year. This funding, as well as additional support from The Chicago Community Trust and the Charles and M. R. Shapiro Foundation, Inc., makes it possible for ACCESS to expand services not only in the Chicago neighborhoods of North Lawndale and Chicago Lawn, but also in Chicago’s New City, Brighton Park, and East Garfield Park areas, and the Chicago suburbs of Addison, Bloomingdale, Blue Island, Chicago Heights, Cicero, Summit, and West Chicago. The Alfred Bersted Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee also supports expanded services in West Chicago.
