UnitedHealth grants HealthNet $2M to reduce healthcare disparities in Indiana

The United Health Foundation has awarded a $2 million, three-year grant to HealthNet to expand primary and behavioral healthcare access in rural and urban Indiana. 

HealthNet, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit, will use the funds in Morgan and Monroe counties and in high-poverty areas in Indianapolis, according to a March 15 press release.

Healthcare professionals and mobile units are scheduled for four days a week starting in February. 

The program will address health disparities by:

  • Delivering primary care, preventive services and mental health screenings to underserved communities.
  • Providing high-risk patients with at-home monitoring devices to track their own health.
  • Making referrals to dental care, substance use disorder treatment, and other needed specialty care and health supports for patients.
