Discussion Topic:
ILLUMINATION FOUNDATION
– Fullerton Navigation & Recuperative Care Center
In January 2020, Illumination Foundation (IF) was selected by the City of Fullerton to develop and provide recuperative care services for the city. Now open, this state-of-the-art facility is the first of its kind in the country, created through a public-private partnership, and offers navigation services, recuperative care beds, medical and dental care, and more, all under one roof.
The Center provides 60 recuperative care beds for high utilizers of local ERs, in which clients can recover after hospital discharge and/or illness. The facility also offers diversion assistance, crisis evaluation, housing navigation, medical and dental care, behavioral health and substance use therapy, transportation services, group and individual enrichment activities, plus accommodations for up to 20 pets, employment services, meals, laundry, security, and storage.
We’ll kick off the morning with our Members’ Discussion of “What’s New with You,” before segueing to Pooja Bhalla’s Featured Member Presentation about Illumination Foundation’s activities – now in three counties. Before Pooja Bhalla joined Illumination Foundation in 2017, as Executive Director of Healthcare Services prior to becoming Co-CEO in 2022, she had 15+ years of health administration experience working with individuals experiencing homelessness, primarily in Boston. After working with the homeless population since the beginning of her nursing career, she joined Boston Health Care Homeless Program in 1997, and in 2002, she led the efforts to establish 50+ shelter clinics throughout Boston to bring healthcare to homeless individuals. Among the innovative practice models of care Pooja launched were walk-in access for behavioral health visits and access to preventive care measures during patient encounters.
