KYW Newsradio, May 2020 – New Jersey received $24 million from the federal government to boost mental health and addiction services through the state. $4 million of that grant is going to a group working to expand it in Camden County.
It’s been a long but rewarding process for the people at Oaks Integrated Care. Vice President Mike D’Amico says they provided years of proof to the Department of Health and Human Services that what they’re doing is making a difference.
Now, he said, it’s full steam ahead in Camden County with a holistic approach model that’s been successful in other parts of the state. “Integrate care, collaborate and also improve access. We want to make sure we reduce the wait times for access to really crucial and critical services,” D’Amico explained.
