WHO WE ARE
A BRIEF ABOUT US
Advance Health and Community Services was founded in 2014. The founder, Rodney Prat, B.S.N., had worked several years in the Home Health setting in south Florida. He realized that a vast majority of the mental health community was lacking in quality services, leading to repeated hospitalizations. In 2014 Advance started providing Mental Health Targeted Case Management Services in extremely impoverished areas of Broward County. Within a year of rendering services, the leadership of the agency decided to expand services to include therapeutic and psychiatric outpatient treatment for both adults and children.
Advance Health and Community Services works closely with individuals who exhibit serious impairment due to mental health issues. In addition, the agency works with their families and significant others to ensure that our persons served have access to needed and appropriate services and resources available in the community. Our Clinical and Case Management Programs provide a wide range of services that are organized within a comprehensive safe and nurturing environment. The services include screening, assessment and evaluations, home visits, care planning, linkage to appropriate services, advocacy, referral to community resources, individual and group therapy, medication management and monitoring of service delivery. It is our intent that through the aforementioned mechanisms we reduce or eliminate the need for institutionalization, hospitalization or incarceration.
HISTORY
Program Mission:
It is the mission of Advance Health and Community Services’ Outpatient Program to assist and work closely with individuals who exhibit serious impairment due to mental illness, and with their families and significant others; and to ensure that they have access to the full array of needed and appropriate services and resources available in the community.
Additionally, it is the mission of our personnel to ensure that as the needs of such individuals change, the services and resources shall change in a meaningful manner to address these needs. Through such responsiveness, it is the purpose of our Case Managers and Clinical personnel to empower their persons served to live a life which is personally meaningful and self-directed to the fullest extent of their capabilities, to reduce or eliminate their needs for institutionalization, hospitalization or incarceration, and to enhance their quality of life.
- To ensure that quality treatment/ services exist within the community for at risk Adults, children, and families and;
- To offer an entire continuum of services to the whole South Florida community including Broward and Dade Counties. Our desire is to demonstrate that caring for a community is the responsibility of compassionate and competent professionals. Our intent is to create an alliance with the public and private sector, raising the quality of services for persons served and engaging the entire community in the protection of our most vulnerable citizens.
- In an effort to serve any child or family in need, irrespective of race, religion or ethnicity, Advance Health and Community Services will market its services to the public through the use of the general media, website, public service announcements, dissemination of brochures and written descriptive materials, and presentations to professional and social service agencies.
It is our philosophy that developing and maintaining an individual’s independence will facilitate adjustment and integration within their living environment and community. In keeping with this philosophy, we empower persons served and their family members/guardian to make decisions about their care, which we believe will produces better outcomes.
- We believe that communities will embrace these person served seeking to regain their independence and aid in their journeys through opportunities to assist with educational and emotional support, and when an organizational framework is established that provides concerned people with opportunities to participate in meeting the needs of such adults and children in accordance with national best practices.
- We believe that individuals served by our agency should be treated no differently than any other and that they should have the best that life has to offer in all aspects of their social, emotional, physical, educational, cultural and spiritual development
- We believe every effort should be made to maintain their safety and avoid out of home placement should be avoided if at all possible. Proving a safe and stable home and lifestyle with aid in the goals to avoid decompensation, hospitalizations and readmission.
