The Hogg Foundation, an Austin-based philanthropy, has awarded $200,000 to the Center for Health Care Services in San Antonio and Community Health Centers of South Central Texas Inc. in Gonzales.

Each provider received $100,000. The grants will fund programs that integrate treatment for physical and mental health issues.

A growing body of evidence points toward the value of integrated care as a tool to improve the overall health of our bodies and our minds, said Dr. Octavio N. Martinez Jr., head of the foundation. By treating the whole body, we can advance the quality of care received in Texas.

The Center for Health Care Services will contract with Healthcare Access San Antonio for health information exchange services that will allow the clinic to share clinical information with other providers.

Community Health Centers of South Central Texas, in partnership with Bluebonnet Trails Community Services, will add a health care coordinator to its health care team.
