Sinnissippi Centers is now able to take the next step in an ongoing project to become a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC). Earlier this month the state of Illinois announced they had been selected as one of ten states to participate in Department of Health and Human Services CCBHC Medicaid Demonstration Program designed to expand and improve access to coordinated mental health care and substance use services,
“Sinnissippi Centers was provisionally certified as a CCBHC earlier this year, dependent upon Illinois receiving the demonstration grant,” says Stacie Kemp, Sinnissippi Centers President/CEO. “Now, we move forward as a partner with the state in paving the way for the CCBHC model in the state of Illinois,” adds Kemp.
“This opportunity sets the stage for Sinnissippi as a leader in the state of Illinois and also provides opportunities for us an organization, as we ensure that clients have access to the full array of services that are needed,” says Kemp.
