Evansville approves adding licensed clinical social worker to on-site clinic
Summary
The board approved an amendment to add a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) to the city’s on-site clinic through Ascension St. Vincent Tri-State clinics; staff said coverage would be about six hours a week and available to employees and those on the health plan.
The Evansville board approved an amendment to a contract with Ascension St. Vincent Tri-State clinics to add a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) to the city’s on-site clinic.
Lisa (first appearing SEG 052) told the board the LCSW would be on site about six hours a week and available to "all of our employees or anybody on our health care plan." The transcript records the additional monthly cost as "$15.30 dollars addition monthly," though the meeting did not provide fuller budget breakdowns or confirm whether that figure is per employee or another unit of measure.
After brief questions, a board member moved and the board voted to approve the amendment.
The amendment is intended to increase access to behavioral health services for city employees through an on-site provider arrangement; the transcript does not show further operational details or start date.
