Description
This program supports the integration and collaboration of physical and behavioral health care providers in Illinois, with a focus on underserved communities and populations facing health disparities. The initiative funds comprehensive, evidence-based integrated care models that improve wellness and physical health status by addressing mental illness, substance use disorders (SUD), co-occurring conditions, and chronic diseases. Grantees must implement robust program plans, coordinate with local health partners, and ensure culturally responsive, person-centered services. Emphasis is placed on ongoing performance review, workforce development, health information technology, sustainability planning, and rigorous data collection for continuous quality improvement. The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) provides oversight, guidance, and evaluation, aiming to foster statewide learning and advance integrated primary and behavioral health care policy.
