The Staten Island Partnership for Community Wellness
The Staten Island Partnership for Community Wellness (SIPCW) is a non-profit organization established more than 20 years ago to promote wellness and to improve the health of the Staten Island community through collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach. Focused on advances in behavioral health, healthy eating and physical wellness, SIPCW provides support to initiatives which move towards the integration of these vital issues.
Two main behavioral health initiatives at SIPCW are the collaborative efforts of the Tackling Youth Substance Abuse (TYSA) coalition, and the Behavioral Health Infrastructure Project (BHIP). SIPCW is the project lead for the Staten Island Performing Provider System (SIPPS) Behavioral
Health Infrastructure Project (BHIP). The project under the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) Program focuses on restructuring the health care delivery system by reinvesting in the Medicaid program. The purpose of BHIP is to strengthen the behavioral health infrastructure across Staten Island by increasing access to quality behavioral health services in the community, integrating behavioral health and primary care services, addressing comorbidities, and focusing on upstream prevention and health promotion models. Our plan is to reach these goals through strengthening partnerships with local and government agencies, building capacity for collaborative care in primary care settings, providing cultural and linguistic trainings on behavioral health, and establishing an infrastructure for data sharing. Implementation of the BHIP collaborative occurs through partnerships and pilots with multiple entities such as hospitals, emergency departments, schools, borough offices, state and city government agencies.
