All Care Health Center Receives HRSA Grant to Expand Behavioral Health Services
Council Bluffs, IA — All Care Health Center is thrilled to announce the award of a Behavioral Health Expansion Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This significant funding will enable All Care to enhance its Behavioral Health services by expanding its team and improving patient care.
All Care was selected as one of just 400 recipients out of 800 applicants nationwide, including seven organizations in Iowa and one in Nebraska. With this grant, All Care will add three new therapists to its team, including a licensed drug and alcohol counselor, and create additional roles to better support patients’ behavioral health and social needs.
Commenting on the grant, All Care Health Center CEO Joel Dougherty said, “This award, and HRSA’s trust in All Care, reflects the outstanding work being done by our team and highlights the strength of our Behavioral Health program. Our dedicated staff is truly making a difference in the lives of our patients.”
The funding will significantly boost All Care’s ability to provide a fully integrated continuum of care for patients dealing with behavioral health challenges, substance use disorders, and those requiring Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for recovery. All Care’s integrated care model ensures that patients receive coordinated treatment between behavioral health providers and primary care teams, addressing the full scope of their health needs.
In addition to one-on-one therapy, patients will benefit from intensive case management, peer recovery support, and access to inpatient and residential services through All Care’s collaborative network. Each patient will also undergo an evaluation for social determinants of health, ensuring that any barriers to care are identified and addressed through community resources.
This HRSA grant positions All Care Health Center to further its mission of delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care to the community, with a particular focus on behavioral health and substance use treatment.
