Activate Care and PATH/211 Illinois Collaborate to Improve Community Care Coordination in the Midwest


Activate Care®, a provider of integrated health and social care solutions, today announced a partnership with PATH, the agency providing 211 services to 45 counties in Illinois, to positively affect both healthcare and community-focused organizations as well as thousands of hospital patients across the Midwest. Activate Care works with PATH Illinois, the local 211 that provides crisis response, community resources and referrals to callers, to influence better outcomes in behavioral health, community care coordination and referral management. The progress made from the collaboration between PATH’s Executive Director Karen Zangerle and the Activate Care team speaks to the need for better and more comprehensive closed loop coordination in the region to meaningfully impact social determinants of health (SDOH).

“The way we engage communities in social interventions has scaled up dramatically over time, but it’s not enough to merely close the loop on a referral or even develop a shared care plan,” said Ted Quinn, CEO, Activate Care. “I think every care team, which most definitely includes 211 staff, must incorporate a whole person care perspective into care planning. Referrals, care coordination, and data exchange are all meaningful inputs into this process. To improve access to quality care, delivery of social services, and decrease the costs of care, we need to do a better job of actually solving the complex health and social needs that so many individuals share. Our collaboration with Karen and her team at PATH will help us fulfill our joint mission to help organizations in the Midwest improve quality of life in their local communities,” added Quinn.

By collaborating with Activate Care, PATH will leverage its central role in counties across Illinois and convene partners and stakeholders who want to work together to improve how people access community services. When people enter the medical system, they deserve care coordination, and the social services organizations like local 211s deserve to be able to track cases to resolution more effectively. PATH is an entry point to help, but often times there isn’t enough staff or resources in local organizations to make sure no one is left behind. While these challenges are persistent, they can be solved. It takes a community to make health and social needs brief, rare, and non-recurring in nature.

“Over the course of my career, I have been involved with efforts to help impact SDOH in our Illinois communities, and through the development of 211 I know all too clearly that as a community resource people turn to when they are seeking help in human services just how deep and wide the need for help is across this state,” said Karen Zangerle, executive feedback director of PATH. “We have to work together to improve capacity of social services and track people through the system, until they get the help they need. Because of this, I believe Activate Care offers huge value to the healthcare system. To be able to work with a company that is willing to expand a hospital’s ability to follow through is wonderful. Simply put, we want more people to find answers to their problem before it negatively impacts their health.”

In Illinois, state leaders are well aware that chronic homelessness causes many costly consequences, including overuse of emergency rooms and overcrowding prisons, but without a way to care for the whole person who calls the 211 system, those consequences are nearly impossible to track and stop.

“PATH currently serves 45 counties across the state and I’m hopeful that once more and more members in the community benefit from the Activate Care platform we’ll see an improvement in community health outcomes and more robust participation from all our counties, especially those that are rural,” added Zangerle.

About PATH/211 Illinois

PATH began on the campus of Illinois State University in 1971 as a drug hotline. The service quickly expanded to provide crisis response and later to add community resources and referrals. In 1985, PATH was awarded a grant to provide outreach for people age 60 and older. In 1998, PATH was awarded a HUD grant and began providing outreach to the homeless and coordinating homeless efforts in McLean County. PATH now coordinates the Central Illinois Continuum of Care and three homeless services programs, and serves the following counties: Alexander, Champaign, DeKalb, DeWitt, Douglas, Franklin, Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Iroquois, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Kane, Kankakee, Knox, LaSalle, Lee, Livingston, Macon, Marion, Massac, McHenry, McLean, Menard, Moultrie, Ogle, Perry, Piatt, Pope, Pulaski, Saline, Sangamon, Shelby, Union, Vermilion, Warren, Washington, Wayne, White, Whiteside, Williamson, and Winnebago.

LaTricia Fulgham’s newly released “your Facts Are Not My Truths” is filled with illuminating testimonials and encouragements from the words of Scriptures


News Image

“your Facts Are Not My Truths”: a captivating journey about pain, traumas, and finding triumph and healing throughout all of it. “your Facts Are Not My Truths” is the creation of published author LaTricia Fulgham, an entrepreneur. She is a former youth leader and praise and worship singer at her parents’ ministry The House of Prayer, Praise & Worship.

Fulgham shares, “Your Facts Are Not My Truths is about the traumas that we experience and need to be healed from. The whispers, silence, and sworn secrecies that we put on a daily basis, the sexual assaults, molestations, relational abuses of all manners, and family secrets, we are physically suffering in our bodies and minds with ailments because of the shame and rage we feel. We remain silent so people only know the facts about us. We have kids with two baby fathers/mothers, we are sick or angry, we have STDs, but people are ignorant to our truths! Sometimes life happens. We were raped and left with STDs. Our companion lived double lives, a family member violated us, or maybe we couldn’t have children so we went to a fertility clinic to conceive. Their judgments of us are based on what they see and not what they actually know about us. This book isn’t to prove anything to anyone but to help us understand one another and to help us heal, to expose Satan’s tactics, which he uses to isolate and destroy us but most importantly to let the people of the world know that there is a God who heals, saves, sets free, delivers, and restores us. And when we deal with the truths instead of the facts, we will live whole, healthy, and prosperous lives. It’s never too late to heal no matter the age, gender, or race. From the victims to the predators, there is redemption through Christ for us all! Every living soul needs Jesus! You are who God says you are! Remember the fact was that they saw Jesus as Mary’s boy who they crucified, but here’s the truth, He was the prophesied Messiah who was to come—to save us all! Jesus, the Son of God!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, LaTricia Fulgham’s new book is a fascinating memoir of a life that is shared in the hopes of inspiring other people who are going through similar situations to overcome and find healing upon themselves and in God.

Julie N. Strickland’s newly released “The Walls Are Breathing” shares a mother’s emotionally driven life of caring for her son with mental illness


News Image

“The Walls Are Breathing: Mental Illness: A Mother’s Perspective”: a soul-tugging narrative of a mother’s exemplary love and nurturing of her mentally ill son. “The Walls Are Breathing: Mental Illness: A Mother’s Perspective” is the creation of published author Julie N. Strickland, a senior principal mechanical engineer specializing in electro-optical design and a loving mother of a son with a medical diagnosis.

Strickland shares, “‘The walls are breathing,’ her twenty-year-old son said. ‘I know it’s not real, but that’s what I see.’

“So began Julie N. Strickland’s education on mental illness. She did not know where to start or whom to call. A mechanical engineer, she had earned a master’s degree. Research, she could do. Calling people, she could do. But dealing with doctors, insurance, and social security—all of these were difficult for her. For her son, these were impossible. From struggling to find a doctor who accepted new patients, to struggling to separate symptoms from drug side effects, she learned to advocate for her child. It took two years for him to recover, and another three for both of them to adjust to their ‘new normal.’

“Strickland decided to write a book to help others who find themselves in this situation without a road map. Readers can find the resources and advice that took her years to compile in the appendices and on her website (jnstrickland.com). By sharing this information, she hopes that at least one person can find the resources they need.

“Strickland is not a medical professional. She is not a psychiatrist, psychologist, or therapist. She is a mother who helped her child through a difficult illness. She is telling her story here to help other parents and families.

“Because few parents know how to react when their child says, ‘The walls are breathing.’”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Julie N. Strickland’s new book shares the overwhelming struggles of a mother who deals with her son’s mental illness through patience, understanding, and faith in God, as well as medicine.

This book also desires to educate parents with similar challenges to help them better cope with adjusting to their loved ones who suffer mental sickness.

The Biblical Metaphor of a Powerful River Reaches Far Beyond Baptism


News Image

My hopes are that many will be encouraged in their walk with the Lord, and that those who have not yet received Him as their Lord and Savior will open their hearts and lives to Him, jump in the River, and have the abundant life He has waiting for them

Author Felicia Lynn explains the power poured out in Ezekiel 47 with In the River: God is Our Source ($18.99, paperback, 9781632219985; $9.99, e-book, 9781632219992).

Felicia Lynn is a Spirit-filled believer involved with Enoch county-wide prayer ministry and By His Hands homeless ministry in DeLand, Florida. She also has a blog entitled “Deeper In Him.” Her passion is studying the Word of God and writing when the Holy Spirit leads.
