Agreement A176878 accepts grant funding from the Minnesota Department of Human Services Mental Health Division to improve the transition from the hospital to a community placement for patients at Anoka Regional Treatment Center (AMRTC) and Minnesota Security Hospital – St. Peter (MSH) who have complex mental health treatment and other service needs.
Transitions funds will be used to better serve patients at AMRTC and MSH with a mental illness who are experiencing a delay in their discharge to the community due to difficulty of placement or other reasons. The grant will focus on individual choice in discharge planning, while moving individuals through the discharge process in a more timely manner. The grant will also identify and address system gaps to create long-term system solutions to typical barriers to discharge.
This grant funding is for the year 2017 in the amount of $651,000. | |
