News - Full Story $122.5 Million Healthcare Transformation Grant Launches Center for Better Aging

July launch of whole-person health service seeks to close South Side Chicago healthcare gap for ages 50+

CHICAGO, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A one-of-a-kind healthcare collaborative, the Center for Better Aging (CBA) located at St. Bernard Hospital, opens in July with a health equity mandate to serve the growing 50+ population on Chicago's Greater South Side.

With $122.5 million in state healthcare transformation funding and a central hub for medical care and community outreach, the CBA collaborative of South Side providers has designed a unique, whole-person model of care. A devoted team of physicians, nurse practitioners, specialists and social workers will untangle complex aging and longevity issues and resolve the social conditions that block effective care. Smart technology and timely follow-ups will give aging adults more knowledge of their conditions to take confident steps toward long, active lives.

"A whole-person, collaborative approach will be vital to closing the life expectancy gap in the greater South Side community," said Center for Better Aging Executive Director Estrelitta Harmon. "There is a shortage of primary care doctors on the South Side, and few are trained in the health issues specific to the 50+ population. CBA partners will elevate the standard of aging adult care and focus on what matters to each patient."

Harmon, a former healthcare consultant and senior leader for the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), is bringing her health strategy experience to bear in Chicago's longevity crisis. Average life expectancy varies by 14 years or more between Chicago communities, according to a Chicago Health Atlas analysis of IDPH statistics, with higher rates of preventable hospitalization among Black older adults.

Englewood has one of the lowest-ranked communities for life expectancy-68.1 years in 2020, vs, 81.9 years in Forest Glen and 81.1 years on the Near North Side. The community is the heart of the Center for Better Aging initiative. CBA will complete construction in July on medical offices at the St. Bernard Hospital Ambulatory Care Center, located next to the hospital at 6307 S. Stewart Ave. CBA will offer an end-to-end preventive care service with home safety checks, social determinants of health assessments, coordinated services, telehealth options and educational outreach to extend aging adult resources into the community.

Grant Supports Aging and Longevity Solutions

St. Bernard Hospital is the lead partner in securing a $122.5 million grant from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services to fund the nonprofit CBA under the HFS Healthcare Transformation Collaboratives program. The CBA partners also work to renovate the hospital through capital investments, increase access through robust digital investments and build the healthcare workforce on Chicago's South Side.

"The inequities and barriers to access that exist in health care for communities of color are challenges that can be especially difficult for older adults to navigate, because they may be facing a range of complex health issues as they age," said HFS Director Elizabeth M. Whitehorn. "The goal of the Healthcare Transformation Collaboratives program is to create equitable health care access by implementing solutions that are uniquely tailored to the needs in the communities each collaborative serves. HFS is excited to continue this partnership with the Center for Better Aging, as we work together to reduce disparities, better serve customers and ultimately improve health outcomes in South Side communities."

The St. Bernard location offers older adults an all-in-one healthcare hub with advanced diagnostic equipment and the South Side's only geriatric-certified ER. The newly renovated ambulatory care center features state-of-the-art CT and digital mammography units and a relaxation suite. Primary and urgent care, emergency, diagnostics and geriatric pharmacy services are all closely located on the state-of-the-art campus.

St. Bernard is one of about 100 hospitals in the U.S. to receive Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation from the American College of Emergency Physicians, certifying the ER's aging adult resources to assure well-coordinated, quality emergency care. St. Bernard also received two successive "A' grades in 2023 from the Leapfrog Group, which rates medical centers for patient safety practices.

"Having the CBA health center on campus will assure proper follow-up care and reduce patients' risk of a return to the ER," said St. Bernard Hospital President and CEO Charles A. Holland. "St. Bernard is one of only three accredited geriatric emergency departments in the City of Chicago. As a safety net hospital, we are committed to ensuring lifelong health and advancing health equity for everyone on the South Side."

The research-based CBA model of aging adult care is predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory. Chronic disease management services address conditions commonly affecting aging adults, such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

CBA has recruited scarce geriatric primary and specialty providers to address age-related conditions onsite at the health center. Aging adult resources include geriatric mental and behavioral care, with screening for difficulty with comprehension, self-care, and cognitive functions.

Providers will support mobility and longevity with physical therapy and fall risk prevention to help patients stay active in the community. Community partners connect patients to social activities and other aging adult resources to support their needs beyond the clinical setting.

Provider partners in the CBA collaborative include Chicago State University, Chicago Commons, Complete Care Management Partners, DL3 Realty, Smyl Fitness Rx, SPARC Wellness, University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System and Wilkes Wellness Services.

About the Center for Better Aging

The Center for Better Aging is a nonprofit organization dedicated to whole-person care for the lifelong health of adults age 50+ on Chicago's South Side. CBA and its partners will provide medical and wellness services across the St. Bernard Hospital campus, in home wellness visits and through community outreach. CBA brings together medical experts and advanced diagnostic equipment to enhance well-being through predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory care. The coalition that governs the CBA is anchored at St. Bernard Hospital as part of the State of Illinois' Healthcare Transformation Collaboratives program.
