Molina Healthcare of Illinois (Molina), in collaboration with The MolinaCares Accord (MolinaCares), invested over $1.6 million in support of local community organizations to improve health outcomes in Illinois. Together with community partners, Molina is working to enhance and create programs designed to address community health needs, increase access to care, improve behavioral health and maternal health outcomes, strengthen the health care workforce, and support families in Illinois.
Through this investment, Molina is supporting the following:
- A mobile health program, enhancing immunization access for both adults and children, and bringing vaccines directly to schools.
- Initiatives that enable uninsured and underinsured individuals to access mental health care and increase the capacity of local providers to deliver care.
- Initiatives to improve maternal health outcomes by increasing access to doulas, which have been shown to lower rates of cesarean delivery, reduce the risk of preterm birth, and increase postpartum visits.
- Partnerships that aim to address social needs that impact health by supporting free laundry services, increasing access to food, and improving housing stability.
- Partnerships that aim to enhance the provider workforce in communities across Illinois by providing education and training opportunities for providers and supporting programs that are building a sustainable pipeline of physicians.
