Abstract

The West Philadelphia Community Mental Health Consortium, an enterprise in which six hospitals and a university cooperate to deliver comprehensive mental health care, is planning jointly with an area component of the Regional Medical Program to enlarge the consortium's service base for eventual delivery of general medical care. Collaboration with other government-funded programs is contemplated. The extent to which the consortium has involved community resources (including citizen leadership) in its operations is seen as its primary value in present and contemplated collaboration.
