Mental health center receives grants

Central Kansas Mental Health Center has received $45,000 in grants from two health foundations for an updated medical records system.

The agency has received $25,000 from the Tower Mental Health Foundation and $20,000 from the Sunflower Foundation: Health Care for Kansas.

Central Kansas Mental Health Center, which serves Dickinson, Ellsworth, Lincoln, Ottawa and Saline counties, will partner on the technology with another mental health center and a technology company to develop an online, state-of-the-art electronic medical records system.

The partnership is intended as a prototype that will demonstrate to other community mental health centers the possibility of having the latest electronic medical records system without the need for individual purchase of separate, more expensive systems. The not-for-profit Tower Foundation was created as a result of the settlement between the Kansas Attorney General's Office and the Menninger Foundation. It provides support to organizations that provide mental health services to Kansas.
