The California Department of Health Care Services has awarded San Fernando Community Health Center (SFCHC) $382,000 to increase the number of patients receiving enhanced care management services (ECM) and help improve health outcomes for Medi-Cal members. As one of 28 community-based agencies in Los Angeles County to receive $144 million in collective funding, SFCHC will use its share to increase and train staff, enhance infrastructure and information technology, and deliver intensive case management services. These investments will position SFCHC to better serve adults and children in the community who experience chronic medical and behavioral health conditions, with a special focus on historically under-resourced and underserved populations. #funding #grant #healthcare #healthcenter #sanfernando #sanfernandovallery #california #CCALAC #dhcs #sanfernandochc #medical

https://conta.cc/3QzOMBz SFCHC NEWSLETTER | Q4 2023 As the holidays approach, it’s especially important to make your health and the health of your loved ones a top priority. Vaccines offer the most effective protection from infectious diseases such as seasonal flu, respiratory illness and COVID-19. They are vital during every stage of life, especially for infants, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions and weakened immune systems. It’s best to seek vaccine and health information from a trusted provider, and to keep on schedule with shots and regular check-ups. SFCHC is grateful to serve as your healthcare home as we empower our patients to take charge of their own health. Sincerely, Audrey Simons, MSHA Chief Executive Officer

Care Health Plan, an organization dedicated to providing the most vulnerable residents and communities of Los Angeles County access to quality health coverage. The L.A. Care Health Plan has selected SFCHC as one of 15 community health facilities to receive a $100,000 grant to help increase access to dental care in underserved communities. SFCHC will use the funding to provide kindergarten students with important oral health screenings, as well as to educate them on the importance of oral hygiene and good nutrition. A key goal is to establish a relationship of trust among the children and the dental professionals who care for them. “At San Fernando Community Health Center, our model of care holds the wellbeing of the whole person at its center,” said SFCHC Chief Executive Officer Audrey Simons. “A growing body of research shows a direct link between poor oral health and many chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. This funding will help ensure children receive dental screenings, begin a lifetime of oral healthcare management and find a dental home at an early age. “ The L.A. Care Health Plan also has awarded SFCHC a Robert E. Tranquada Safety Net Initiative grant in the amount of $175,000 to provide persons dealing with health inequities access to weight management programs, as well as screenings for chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure and other chronic diseases. The funding will support the recruitment, hire and retention of culturally congruent and diverse medical staff. “The funding will allow SFCHC to hire a registered nurse and a certified community health worker to further strengthen our primary care team,” said Simons. “The focus of our project is to increase the percentage of patients achieving blood pressure control, increase screening for chronic kidney disease and reduce obesity among patients, particularly those with underlying medical conditions. Integrating both a dedicated RN and CCHW into the team will allow better communication with patients and even higher quality care.”   @lacarehealth #healthcare @sanfernandochc #sanfernando #sanfernandovalley #funding #grants #dentalcare #primarycare L.A.

The satellite clinic will be located within the footprint of the Corazón del Valle housing project that is currently under development by Holos Communities, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating safe and equitable living spaces. Together, SFCHC and Holos Communities are working to ensure housing and high-quality medical, dental and behavioral healthcare are delivered to community members and low-income residents of Corazón del Valle. In addition, the globally renowned firm Perkins&Will is generously providing pro bono architectural and design services. SFCHC is also grateful to Thornton Tomasetti and tk1sc for contributing their engineering expertise, and to The Valley Economic Alliance and Goodwill Southern California for cultivating community and industry support. Through the collaboration of our project partners, this beautifully designed housing development will help increase health equity, assist the unhoused and strengthen our community. “Corazón del Valle is a direct result of community leaders working in partnership to build a healthier, sustainable environment for the most vulnerable and underserved,” said SFCHC Chief Executive Officer Audrey Simons. “When our satellite clinic opens in the Summer of 2024, it will be possible for our providers to deliver care where people live, work and play. When we empower individuals and families to take charge of their own health and wellbeing, it benefits our entire community.” ________________________________________________ Photo/ California Assembly #healthequity #healthcare #healthclinic #fqhc #sanfernandovalley #panoramacity #sanfernando #panorama #losangeles #unhoused #supportivehousing #funding #community #communitydevelopment
