A mental health facility in Holyoke just gained $50,000 in grant money, in addition to new computers.
River Valley Counseling Center (RVCC) is a “multifaceted community-based mental health agency” that works to empower people within its community through school-based therapy/health-centers, has been awarded a $50,000 technology makeover from Insight Enterprises and Intel.
The center also offers outpatient services, children’s behavioral health initiative, AIDs/HIV mental support treatments and more.
The center is one of three winners in the Connected Workplace Makeover Contest, which was created to help businesses address the effects of aging technology. New Intel PCs will allow the RVCC to better service its 9,000 children and adult clients in the Pioneer Valley.
“We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly appreciative to Insight Enterprises and Intel for selecting River Valley Counseling Center as a winner of this contest,” Rosemarie Ansel, executive director of RVCC, said in a statement.
The new IntelEvo vPro PCs are expected to speed up services, offer better telehealth options, increase cyber security, and help with federal HIPAA compliance.
Over the next month, Insight and Intel will be conducting on-site consultations to help the team identify the best technology upgrades for their clinic.
“Business needs and demands have changed dramatically in the last year alone, when keeping pace with new technology already in place, it was challenging enough for independent businesses in ordinary times,” said Brenda Hudson, senior vice president of commercial business solutions at Intel said.
Over 1,200 companies entered the contest that targeted small and mid-sized companies of fewer than 1,000 employees that have been particularly strapped for resources or may be struggling to adapt IT systems and processes to the shifting marketplace amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The contest focused on three areas of critical IT needs: productivity, tools for remote work and cybersecurity.
