Press Release – ENGLEWOOD, NEW JERSEY (September 25, 2018) – The Provident Bank Foundation (PBF) is pleased to announce Vantage Health System in Englewood and Dumont New Jersey as one of its Second Cycle 2018 Major Grants.
A Major Grant funds projects and/or programs that address one or more of PBF’s funding priority areas – Community Enrichment, Education and Health, Youth and Families. Major Grants provide between $5,000 and $25,000 in funding, and support organizations that have identified as an immediate need in the community and the individuals they serve.
Vantage Health System (Bergen County) — $10,000 in funding will support personnel costs to increase capacity of the Integrated Care Services: Behavioral Health Home (BHH) program. To date, this program has improved the quality of life and health for 35 individuals with both a serious mental illness and co-occurring physical health condition.
