MHCH Weekly Communication

Our next meeting is Thursday 4.25.2024 at 11:00. Please let me know if you would like to share a case, or a topic with the group.

Be sure to update your cases and check the Hub for any matches. I also ask that you go into your organizations and make sure your Organization Preferences completed. This is how the Hub matches the community providers to the cases. If it's not completed, your organization won't match.

The April/May issue of the Twin Cities Business Journal is out in emagazine form!

A few key takeaways:

• From October 2023 to January 2024, the MHCH resulted in a 55% reduction in days boarding, or 24 fewer days.
• 80% of youth entered in MHCH were able to discharge under 45 days.
• The growing MHCH community matters!
• It’s all about showing up for our little starfish! 

Below is the latest "Impact Update" from the MHCH. This is being distributed to the legislature this session via Kirsten Anderson of AspireMN and others. Note that as of 3.26.24, these numbers are already outdated as we have now had 285 cases on the Hub, there are 182 organizations and 422 users.
