Over a Year in and Health Homes Showing Success

Labette Center has now been providing health home services for over a year. On August 1st,2014 the Center embarked on a journey that was completely unchartered for the state of Kansas

at that time. The creation of Health Homes was a new and exciting prospect with many un-knowns attached to it. But over a year in and the program has shown remarkable success.

Through the hard work and dedication of the ve person team that make up the Health Home, the program has managed to not only successfully charter the ups and downs of creating something new, but accom

great strides in the process.

Labette Center’s Health Home is considered one of the top health home programs in the State. Input from the conator of the program, Deb Williams is being used, along with only two other programs, to assist the MCO workg

in creating a manual which will be adopted by the state. Williams also was honored to speak in regards to hhomes at both learning collaborative and the rst Annual Health Homes Conference.

At this point, the program has completed ve “Lead Your Health” courses, in conjuction with Labette Health. Tcourses are community based and serve not only individuals who are part of the health home, but others who areThe “Lead Your Health” course has two versions, one for chronic illness and one for diabetes. Courses are held aRector Diabetic Center located at Labette Health and presenters include not only Health Home staff but also ShCollins, RN from Labette Health. These courses have been instrumental in help individuals learn how to deal

and adapt to these illnesses.

Health Home staff have shown great success rates with clients that are served, with an approximate 70-75% raengagement. The staff assists with doctor’s appointment, gaining various services throughout the community, trational care, hospital care, home care, medication needs and much more.

By collaborating with other entities’ within the area, such as medical personnel, hospitals and home care agenciesstaff of the LCMHS Health Homes has seen the program soar beyond expectations. “It’s wonderful to see indivals getting services they weren’t receiving before, whether because they were unable or didn’t know about the

stated Health Home Coordinator Deb Williams. “I’m very proud of the staff. They are the heart and soul of the hhome.”

LCMHS looks forward to many more successes with the Health Home in the future, and look forward to helmany more individuals nd happy, healthy lives. Through this program, as well as all the services the Center isto provide, it is a joy to give ‘Help for Today, Hope for Tomorrow’.
