“To optimize the quality of life of the people we serve by providing excellent, compassionate, and integrated health services throughout the lifespan.” Our Mission
Background Started as a cooperative relationship in 2000 among the University of Utah, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Utah Department of Health. Medicaid sought a population who were high utilizers of Medicaid services and who might benefit from coordinated health care. Scott Stiefel, M.D., was already providing mental health services to people with disabilities.
Background (continued) HOME was created to provide medical and mental health care in the same location (specialized medical home). Original program required that enrollees also had Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD) services in the central region. In 2004, HOME was permitted to expand to any disabled eligible person with Medicaid, regardless of their DSPD status. In 2005, HOME moved from ARUP to a new facility at 650 S. Komas Drive. In 2009, opened HOME North clinic in Ogden In 2011 current enrollment is 829
