A Message from
the CEO and the Board President
As the revolution in healthcare reform that began in 2012 continues, we
successfully and innovatively weathered rapid and profound changes. Our
top priority: Providing individuals with alternatives to hospitalizations that
support their recovery and allow them to remain in their communities. In
these challenging times for healthcare, MHA is taking bold steps to guide
the community through change while maintaining an effective safety net
for all.
2013 was the year that case management was transformed into care
management and health homes, with providers integrating and coordinating
primary and behavioral healthcare services. As a result, MHA Westchester
provided care management service to hundreds of new health home
members, increasing our capacity from 68 to over 500. This is an area in
which we can continue to anticipate enormous growth.
Dr. Amy Kohn, CEO
Housing is healthcare, so important for recovery—offering both community
and a safe and permanent place to call home. In 2013, our housing
programs saw substantial expansion: With 26 additional residents now
receiving services through our new Apartment Treatment Program in
Putnam County, we are now providing housing to 87 individuals.
Employment services increased 19% over a record-breaking prior year, with
52 job placements. Supporting that growth, our Work Readiness Program
expanded from five days to ten days. And with funding from state-run
ACCES-VR, we developed a Food Service Training Program which trained
18 individuals in all aspects of food service. Café Armando opened its doors,
offering food and catering to the Sterling community, as well as to the
public. Café Armando offers invaluable in-house volunteer opportunities
as a way to try on a work experience in a safe environment to enhance
job readiness.
Michael Lombardi,
Board President
All MHA initiatives are steeped in the belief that recovery is possible for all.
With your continued partnership, we are committed to continuing to meet
the needs of the community in the most innovative, effective and personally
responsive ways possible.

“I would definitely recommend MHA because I have learned many of
the skills I need in my job. I learned how to do job hunting and manage
communication with my co-workers. I learned how to accept my problems
in a way where I am not hurting myself mentally. My job coach helps me
talk to my manager and makes my work situation better.”
