The program will refer patients to coordinated treatment plans developed by Regional Health Hubs, ensuring access to community-based services like mental health support, substance use treatment, and social services. Hospitals participating in the pilot will work with Regional Health Hubs to connect patients with appropriate care, and the state Medicaid program will be expanded to cover these services.
