The Copic Medical Foundation recently awarded St. Mary’s Health Clinics a grant that will support its Community Health Empowerment Initiative (CHEI), which aims to reduce healthcare fragmentation for 1,200 uninsured, Spanish-speaking immigrants in the Twin Cities metro area.
CHEI integrates bilingual community health workers, medication therapy management technology, and culturally tailored education to create a seamless "medical home" model for those at high risk for chronic diseases.
The St. Mary’s grant is just one of several that the Copic Medical Foundation has awarded to healthcare entities that address reducing fragmentation across care settings. Grant funding focused on initiatives that contribute to a solution by supporting scalable or replicable solutions, the testing of new ideas or growing existing solutions, and then seeing avenues for larger application.
