For immediate release:


Chestnut Ridge Counseling Services Inc. (CRCSI) is thrilled to announce that it has received a $100,000 grant from Staunton Farm Foundation to enhance the agency’s new Electronic Health Record in the upcoming year. This monumental task could potentially support a new approach to providing treatment through the utilization of integrated assessment and diagnostic tools, providing real time outcomes. Those rich outcomes will enhance the process of care and the collaboration between patient and treatment providers.


CRCSI turned to Staunton Farm Foundation for assistance with this project, being aware of the Foundation’s extensive philanthropic history of funding initiatives to improve mental health and substance abuse services for the residents of the area. Additionally, CRCSI has been the recipient of past awards from the Foundation and has had the pleasure of working with them on previous rewarding projects.


CRCSI has been a leader in mental health care in Western Pennsylvania since 1969 and has long been active in community projects that inspire the health of the community. CRCSI collaborates with other agencies and partners including, but not limited to, Fayette County Drug & Alcohol Commission, Fayette County Behavioral Health Administration, Carelon Health of Pennsylvania, and WVU Medicine/ Uniontown Hospital, to name a few.


Staunton Farm Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of people who live with mental illness and substance use disorders. The Foundation works to enhance behavioral health treatment, support, and recovery through grant making to nonprofit organizations in 10 southwestern Pennsylvania counties (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland).
