About Our Hospitals
Regions Hospital and Hennepin County Medical Center:
Both Regions and Hennepin County Medical Center are recent recipients of a Robert Wood Johnson Grant to work on improving care to patients with LEP (Limited English proficiency) and have chosen to do that work in depression and diabetes.
The Hennepin-Regions Psychiatry Residency Program was re-verified in 2007 with its second consecutive five-year full accreditation with no citations by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Five years is the maximum accreditation awarded by the ACGME. In 2006, only 3.8 percent of all residency programs received similar validation.
Hennepin County Medical Center:
Regions Hospital:
- National Alliance on Mental Illness Provider of the Year, 2003.
- Regions Hospital is in the Health-Partners system: HealthPartners is finishing up a Robert Wood Johnson grant highlighting barriers to improving care for depressed patients in primary care.
- HealthPartners is a major force behind the DIAMOND Project which is a cutting edge initiative where all the major health plans (including Department of Human Services and Medicaid) in MN have agreed starting 3/1/08 to routinely pay for the collaborative care model treatment of depressed patients in primary care. HealthPartners has received a $3,000,000 grant to study the results.
