Collaborative Bridges

Collaborative Bridges is a partnership of healthcare and human service providers designed to build strength in community to tackle the multi-faceted problems of untreated behavioral health illness. We are funded by the Healthcare Transformation Collaborative of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Collaborative Bridges is closing the gaps, now often fatal, among disjointed islands of service in the acutely underserved Austin community on Chicago’s west side. To do this, we are creating a continuity of care between hospitals and community to put resources closer to those who need it, when they need it most.
