Regional Partnership Catalyst Program
Main_Content
The Regional Partnership Catalyst Program is a special funding program that invests in hospital partnerships with community organizations to build sustainable programs that support the population health goals of the Total Cost of Care (TCOC) Model. It is designed to a) foster collaboration between hospitals and community partners, and b) enable the creation of infrastructure to disseminate evidence-based interventions. The Regional Partnership Catalyst Program began January 1, 2021 and will conclude December 31, 2026.
HSCRC staff presented the final recommendation on the Regional Partnership Catalyst Program awards to HSCRC Commissioners on Thursday, November 12, 2020. Commissioners approved a total investment of $165.4 million over a five-year grant period. Of this amount, $86.3 million has been directed to diabetes prevention and management activities and $79.1 million has been directed to fund behavioral health crisis services.
