Projected Patient Volume = 107,000 Kansans
Sunflower deployed emergency COVID-19 funding to active integrated care programs across the state. The funds provide core operating support for a wide range of behavioral health staffing and programming needs. While modest, these flexible funds assist integrated care sites to maintain their integrated care infrastructure while they navigate changing reimbursement models and the up and down patient volumes associated with the pandemic.

Emergency Community Mental Health Grants: Core Operating Support = $59,000
Projected Patient Volume = 20,900 Kansans
(April 2020) Sunflower deployed emergency COVID-19 funding to a select number of community mental health centers based on guidance from the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas. Centers were selected based on urgent need and/or their unique role in supporting the mental health needs in their community.
The funds provide core operating support for a wide range of behavioral health staffing and programming needs. Within community mental health centers, these funds have been especially useful in deploying telehealth services to ensure client care continues. Of note, it would appear that the infrastructure to support patient telehealth was less developed in the state’s mental health settings than in other health care sites.
