WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKZO AM/FM) — U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) announced on Friday, September 30 announced that five locations across West Michigan will receive $5,000,000 in funding to expand mental health and addiction services.
The funding builds on Senator Stabenow’s effort to transform the way mental health and addiction treatment is funded in America through her signature Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics.
“Because of the hard work of so many of our community partners, our mental health care and addiction initiative is a proven success story,” said Stabenow. “In Michigan and across our country, we are finally transforming the way we deliver high-quality services in our communities and the results are clear. Now more people who are struggling with mental health issues or addiction will get the treatment they need close to home.”
Cherry Health (Grand Rapids) will receive $1,000,000 in funding (per year for four years) to establish a new clinic.
Four organizations will receive funding (per year for four years) to continue and expand services:
- $1,000,000 Network180 (Grand Rapids)
- $1,000,000 Summit Pointe (Calhoun County)
- $1,000,000 HealthWest (Muskegon County)
