"Philadelphia Coordinated Health Care, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Health Care Quality Unit (HCQU), has been the lead of the coalition of Pennsylvania’s eight HCQUs, on a grant funded by the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council. The grant was designed to look at services and supports provided by Pennsylvania for people who have intellectual disabilities as well as mental illness.

As part of the second year of grant activities, a survey was designed to look at costs associated with supporting people with intellectual disabilities as well as serious and persistent mental illness (dual diagnosis for the purposes of this report)."
