Dear John,

William Frist, one of the cochairs of the Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value, published two additional articles in Forbes discussing administrative waste and inefficiencies in US health care spending, which you can read here and here.

Frist's articles are part of a four-part series on the Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value’s newly released report, "A Road Map for Action."
Meeting Patients’ Behavioral Health Needs
February's Leading To Health article by Brian Rinker highlights a community clinic that enlists a for-profit provider to help patients with mental health conditions live independently.

West County Health Centers is a nonprofit federally qualified health center in Sonoma County, California.

Their newly launched behavioral health program, called Collaborative Approach to Recovery and Empowerment and known as CARE+, provides psychosocial rehabilitation to West County’s high-risk patients who face mental health challenges.

CARE+ is managed by Maximon Behavioral Health, a Southern California–based for-profit behavioral health services provider.

However, in this case, it operates within West County Health Centers to send community health workers to help patients with basic life skills. CARE+ is an example of whole-person care that provides wraparound services to patients.

To learn about CARE+’s impact in Sonoma County and the policy implications of integrating private and public behavioral health supports, read Rinker’s entire article today.
