Success Story
Scaling HealthySteps in MA
HealthySteps growth in Massachusetts has shown that when philanthropy, health systems, and policy align, meaningful systems change is possible. Massachusetts now has a proven model for integrating behavioral and mental health into pediatric care—one that other states can learn from and build upon. But, sustaining this progress will require continued advocacy, long-term funding solutions, and collaboration across sectors to ensure that integrated care becomes the standard, not the exception. This blog post from The Boston Foundation explains how this success came about and what needs to be done to maintain momentum.
