The Helping Individuals Live Longer (HILL) Integration Project at Henderson Behavioral Health will serve as a person-centered health home for underserved and disenfranchised adult individuals with a serious mental illness who reside in Broward County, Florida. Coordinated behavioral health, primary care, wellness promotion and education services provided on-site at the behavioral health center will be hallmark to improving a person's overall physical health. Identification and referral of individuals at-risk begins with the behavioral healthcare team and transitions through collaboration and coordination with the primary care team. Engagement in treatment, follow-up as well as annual physicals and routine screening, will be paramount to the prevention and ongoing care of both acute and chronic illnesses. With an emphasis on treating the person as a whole, a wellness program will be offered and will focus on helping individuals learn how to make health-promoting lifestyle changes, improve nutrition, increase activity and become empowered to understand and self- manage chronic health conditions. Our Helping Individuals Live Longer (HILL) Integration Project will improve health outcomes, wellness, and resiliency by improving the access and quality of integrated services currently available to adults with serious mental illness. By improving service quality through fidelity to the principles of informed choice, recovery-focused and person-centered care; and increasing the quality of services through the incorporation of evidence-based practices in routine care, the health status of this vulnerable population will be positively affected. The HILL Integration Project will serve a minimum of 250 individuals in the first year of operation, 400 in the second year, 500 during the third year and 600 individuals in the final year of funding. A minimum of 1750 individuals will benefit throughout the four year period of this project funding.
