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.
