Mental illness affects all of us

Mental illness impacts the lives of up to 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 5 children. It doesn’t

discriminate. It affects people regardless of race, age, religion or economic status.

Chances are that you or someone you love will be affected by mental illness, substance

abuse, or another behavioral health condition at some point in the future.

People diagnosed with a mental illness typically have chronic physical health problems

too. Due to these chronic conditions, people with a serious mental illness die an average

of 25 years before their time. The cost to society is staggering. An estimated $247 billion

is spent each year on childhood mental disorders alone.

Mental disorders are often the root cause of destructive behaviors such as: substance

abuse, dysfunctional and unstable families, domestic violence, trauma, abuse and

neglect of children, teens and elders; and

even suicide.

Through an integrated medical and behavioral

health model, the Catalina Health Center is

specifically designed to offer innovative,

responsive solutions to this serious health issue

facing our community.

Healing Lives. Whatever It Takes. For 80 years, the central mission of Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) has been to

help others. JFCS is a non-sectarian, non-profit behavioral health and social service

agency serving more than 37,000 people in need in Maricopa County regardless of race,

gender, age, ethnicity, religion or income. We strive to restore hope, increase self-

sufficiency and safety, reduce family violence, and help people return to productivity

and contribute back to the community.

As changes in the health care system unfold, JFCS has taken the leadership to establish

the Catalina Health Center, a state-of-the-art integrated medical and behavioral

health facility in the underserved, low-income Maryvale community of Phoenix.

Why Integrated Health Care? Integrated care produces the best outcomes and is the most effective approach to

caring for people with complex healthcare needs.

Better Results Improved health outcomes and reduced health risks.

Lower Costs Health care costs are as much as 75% higher for those with mental illness who are not receiving primary care.

Increased Access Patients have access to a one-stop system of health services.

The Need in Maryvale

Maryvale has the highest concentration of low-income patients in Maricopa County and a

shortage of primary care physicians.

Maryvale has the state’s highest rate of children

removed from the home by the Division of Child

Safety due to serious abuse and neglect.

Last year, 3,500 children ages birth to five were

referred to Catalina Health Center for severe

trauma assessment and treatment.

The psychological, therapeutic, and educational

support provided at Catalina Health Center gives

these children a chance to heal emotionally and

physically.

Seventy percent of behavioral health patients also have at least one on-going medical

condition. Without coordinated medical and behavioral health care, these children and

adults will die an average of 25 years earlier than expected.

The Catalina Health Center serves a population of children and families who have limited

access to health care and suffer from numerous untreated conditions.

The Old Clinic

Over the years, the JFCS behavioral health clinic in Maryvale went through numerous

expansions and remodels in order to meet the growing need and demand for services.

The old clinic was in crisis mode due to overcrowding, inadequate space and increased

need. Ultimately, the space and functionality of the old facility was simply inadequate to

serve this high-needs population. The Board and Administrative staff had to act.

Lack of Space

• crowded waiting area • too few intake windows • lack of designated areas for

children and adult services

Inadequate Treatment

Areas

• too few counseling rooms • inadequate areas for play

therapy and other specialty treatment services

• no on-site lab or pharmacy

Limited Access

• confusing 'strip mall' location

• too many separate entrances and exits

• difficult access for the disabled

The New Clinic

After four years of searching for a large enough space to lease, a building went on the

market right across the street from the old clinic. The board went out on a limb and

purchased the 24,000 square foot building which will provide medical, behavioral health,

laboratory, and pharmacy services all under the same roof.

Located in the low-income Maryvale area, the Catalina Health Center will serve more than

8,000 people a year.

Primary care physicians, psychiatrists, clinicians, counselors, therapists, and nurse practitioners

will work closely together to coordinate care and promote the total health and well-being of

each individual.

Additional Enhancements and Benefits

An integrated electronic health record will include medical and behavioral health services, medications, and treatment history, preventing duplication of services and improving the quality of care.

Improved care coordination for children and adolescents in the foster care system to ensure they receive recommended medical, dental, and behavioral health services.

Enhanced assessment and treatment for childhood trauma and autism to facilitate early intermediate intervention to treat severe trauma as well as offer intensive support services for autism spectrum disorder.

Parent observation and training rooms to help parents and caregivers see and learn healthy behavioral techniques they can use at home with their children.

Children’s wing with a designated waiting area and playground that is separate from the adult services area.

A whole health approach is achieved through a soothing and calm environment which maximizes the potential for healing and promotes resilience and wellness for children and families.

The new Catalina Health Center is designed specifically to provide both medical

and behavioral health services under one roof in an environment where clinical

and support staff can talk to each other and share treatment information

electronically in order to determine the best course of action for each patient’s

health.

Going Out on Limb

The Board went out on a limb by dipping into their reserves to purchase and renovate the

facility with the hope that current and new donors would see the urgency of this project

and support their actions on behalf of the Maryvale community. JFCS’ ability to replace

those reserves is critical to the future stability of needed programs and services not only in

Maryvale but throughout Maricopa County.

Estimated Costs The projected cost of the new Catalina Health Center is $3.3M for the purchase of the

building, the architectural design, build-out, furniture, fixtures and equipment. An

additional $1.7M is needed to support start-up of expanded, enhanced, and integrated

medical and behavioral health services, fundraising expenses and project management.

In all, JFCS is seeking $5M to support purchase, construction and start-up of the new

medical and behavioral health delivery system offered by the Catalina Health Center.
