#33 Douglas Co. IMPACTS Grant: Creative Funding to Meet People Where They’re At

  • Summary

  • Sue Goldberg, Senior Director Decision Support for Umpqua Health Alliance Coordinated Care Organization and Cheryl McDonald, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Crisis Program Director for ADAPT Integrated Health Care discuss:

    • IMPACTS Grant can uniquely meet people’s previously unmet needs.

    • Grant covers 3 full-time outreach navigators, 1 part-time therapist housed in the E.D., 23-hour crisis resolution room, and a sobering center.

    • Doesn’t require cohort members to engage in treatment to receive program support.

    • Allow the cohort member to be the expert in their lived experience, and allow them to identify what they need to be stable.

    • Reducing recidivism by providing Law Enforcement options for diverting people to where they need to be, rather than incarcerating them due to lack of an appropriate treatment environment.

    • IMPACTS can fund services that aren't traditionally covered by insurances, such as peer support, phone calls, showers, clothing needs, food, etc.

    • Timely and thorough data is allowing better outreach and getting the correct people into the cohort.

    • Outcomes indicate a cost reduction in healthcare and jail costs for the individuals in the cohort (approximately 333).

    • Community support: It’s not all about the money - people’s lives have been changed.
