Humana Foundation forms partnership to address behavioral health provider shortage in Kentucky

The Humana Foundation has partnered with Greater Louisville Inc., the chamber of commerce serving the Louisville, Ky., metro area, to address the shortage of regional behavioral health providers.

Through this partnership, the organizations will offer grants between $50,000 and $100,000 to projects focused on connecting providers to those who need mental health services in Louisville, according to an Aug. 8 news release.

Priority will be given to applicants who are focused on areas and providers that are in dire need, including psychologists, psychiatrists and youth counselors, along with those who offer care to diverse and underrepresented populations.

This partnership will be supported with $300,000 from the Humana Foundation, which will also match up to $300,000 in corporate and individual donations, the release said.
