As discussions continue at the federal level regarding potential changes to Medicaid, we believe it's important to share how this program currently supports TrueNorth Wellness Services and the individuals we serve.
- Medicaid accounts for approximately 43% of our annual revenue.
- An additional 24% is provided by county funding, which is also influenced by Medicaid policies.
- Our organization operates with a team of over 330 dedicated employees, providing care in nine counties across south central Pennsylvania.
- In the past year alone, nearly 5,000 individuals received services through TrueNorth that were fully or partially funded by Medicaid.
Medicaid plays a key role in making many of our services for children possible, including Intensive Behavioral Health Services, Applied Behavior Analysis, Family-Based Mental Health Services, Amazing Kids Club, and Functional Family Therapy.
Potential changes to Medicaid could affect how we deliver services. The extent and nature of the impact will depend on the specific policies implemented.
We encourage individuals to stay informed about this important issue. If you have a personal story about how Medicaid has helped you or someone you love access mental health or substance use services, consider sharing it with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
