OhioRISE and the specialized managed care program is making major strides in supporting more youth and families in need. More Ohio children than ever are being supported through a program that coordinates community resources to provide the best possible care for kids facing complex mental and behavioral health needs.

July marked two years since Ohio’s launch of OhioRISE and the specialized managed care program is making major strides in supporting more youth and families in need. In that time, OhioRISE increased its capacity to serve more than six times the children than it did on day one, expanded its network across the state, and continues to add new types of available services and supports.

OhioRISE Growth — By the Numbers

  • Grew from 5,500 children enrolled on day one to 37,748 children and youth served today
  • Serves more than 3,800 kids in foster care
  • Added 800 new care coordinators in all 88 Ohio counties since inception
  • Employs nearly 4,000 program eligibility assessors
