PILOT CARE PROGRAM

A New Model for Earlier, More Personal Care

We are developing a pilot program with a hospital group in northern Illinois to find where care for schizophrenia falls short, and to test a better way forward.

The goal is a model that any hospital could adopt.

HOW IT WOULD WORK

Four Steps Toward Better Care

The pilot is built around one idea: find problems earlier and treat each person as an individual. Here is how the model is designed to work.

THE PROBLEM

Too Many People Fall Through the Cracks

Today, a first diagnosis often comes after a crisis. Follow-up can be inconsistent, and families are left to coordinate care on their own.

The pilot starts by mapping exactly where those gaps appear inside a real hospital system, so we can fix the right problems first.

THE APPROACH

Care Built Around the Individual

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the pilot looks at the whole person: their history, their test results, and how they respond to medication.

A dedicated team then builds a follow-up plan that fits that person, and stays with them over time.

WHERE WE ARE NOW

Being Built Step by Step

The Pilot CARE Program is in development with our hospital partner. Right now we are defining the gaps, the care team, and how results will be measured.

It is not yet accepting patients. As the program takes shape, we will share updates on this page.

WHY A PILOT

Start Small. Prove It Works. Then Grow.

A pilot lets us test new ideas with one trusted partner before asking others to follow.

If the model improves care, it can be shared with hospitals across the country, so more people and families benefit.
