BTG licensed agency leads rural outreach effort
St. Vincent Health led the development of an integrated network of field-based workers that connects vulnerable populations in nine largely rural counties in Central Indiana to health, human, and social services. The program has enhanced access to medical services by serving more than 26,000 clients; training more than 400 interpreters to provide 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week coverage in area hospitals and via telephone; and providing uninsured individuals with $14.3 million in free or reduced-cost prescription drugs as of June 2008.
