Thank You to Cambia Health Foundation! C-WHO Awarded Grant to Strengthen Behavioral Health Services

We're proud to announce that Cornerstone Whole Healthcare Organization has been awarded a grant from Cambia Health Foundation! This exciting development will support the Idaho Multipayor Multiprovider Behavioral Health Collaborative (IBHMP Collaborative), a project aimed at improving access to behavioral health services within our community.

The IBHMP Collaborative will focus on developing a new payment model framework. This framework will be collaboratively designed by both healthcare payers and providers, to foster greater integration of behavioral health services with primary care. This innovative approach has the potential to streamline access to mental health care, reduce costs, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
