PROGRAM SERVICES
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4
PRIMARY MEDICAL SERVICES OUR HEALTH CENTERS GRAPPLE WITH THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS BESETTING OUR COMMUNITIES. ALMOST ONE-THIRD OF OUR PATIENTS HAVE SOME FORM OF CHRONIC ILLNESS, AND THE OVERWHELMING NUMBERS OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE MULTIPLE DISORDERS. OUR PATIENTS ARE OFFERED COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL SERVICES INCLUDING PHYSICAL EXAMS, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, HEALTH MAINTENANCE SUPPORT, VACCINES, IMMUNIZATIONS, INCISION/DRAINAGE OF CYSTS, OUTPATIENT HIV TESTING AND CARE, WELL-CHILD CARE, CHDP EXAMS, ADDICTION MEDICINE, SCREENINGS FOR ANEMIA, LEAD, VISION, HEARING AND TUBERCULOSIS. SERVICES ARE OFFERED IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. OTHER SPECIAL CLINICAL INITIATIVES INCLUDE OFFSITE SERVICES TO POPULATIONS WITH SPECIAL BARRIERS TO CARE INCLUDING SENIORS IN SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES AND THE HOMELESS; AN ORGANIZATION-WIDE PURSUIT OF SOLUTIONS TO MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES, HIV AND EARLY CANCER DETECTION; AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLLABORATIVE RESPONSES TO WIDE-RANGING HEALTH THREATS SUCH AS MRSA. WE HAVE DEVELOPED STRONG ALLIANCES WITH SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS IN ALL OUR COMMUNITIES, GIVING OUR PATIENTS THE ABILITY TO HAVE CARE FOR THEIR UNIQUE HEALTH CHALLENGES. CURRENT SPECIALTIES INCLUDE CHIROPRACTIC, DERMATOLOGY, NUTRITION EDUCATION, GASTROINTESTINAL MEDICINE, OPHTHALMOLOGY, ORTHOPEDICS, PEDIATRICS, PODIATRY, PSYCHIATRY AND SURGERY. DENTAL SERVICES THE UN- AND UNDER-INSURED OF MENDOCINO AND LAKE COUNTIES CONTINUE TO HAVE SERIOUS ACCESS PROBLEMS FOR THEIR ORAL HEALTH NEEDS, AND OUR DENTAL DEPARTMENT IS ONE OF MCHC'S FASTEST GROWING SERVICES. WE CONTINUE TO PURSUE, AND RECEIVE, GRANT FUNDING TO FOCUS ON THIS PROBLEM. CONSEQUENTLY, WE ARE ACTIVELY RECRUITING DENTISTS COMMITTED TO SERVICE WHO WISH TO WORK IN A FAST-PACED TEAM ENVIRONMENT. AT ALL THREE SITES, MCHC OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL SERVICES TO ITS PATIENTS. IN ADDITION TO EXAMS, PATIENTS ARE OFFERED ACCESS TO GUM TREATMENT, SEALANTS, TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS, DENTURES AND EMERGENCY CARE. SPECIAL PROGRAMS INCLUDE HIV DENTAL CARE, A NURSING FACILITY DENTAL OUTREACH PROGRAM, ORAL HEALTH CARE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND A COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH THAT ALLOWS MCHC TO IMPLEMENT SHORT-TERM, COMMUNITY BASED SERVICE PROJECTS INCLUDING ON-SITE SCREENINGS AT MIGRANT EDUCATION SCHOOLS. WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW HEALTH FACILITIES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT SPECIALIZES IN ORAL CARE FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED. ADDITIONALLY, WE REFER PATIENTS IN NEED OF ORAL SURGERY TO A NETWORK OF SPECIALISTS IN THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REGION. COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS - IN OUR PRACTICE, MANY OF OUR PATIENTS ARE BESET BY MULTIPLE CONDITIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, A SENIOR STRUGGLING WITH THE EFFECTS OF DIABETES MAY SUFFER FROM CHRONIC DEPRESSION OR A MOTHER SEEKING CARE AT OUR WOMEN'S HEALTH UNIT MAY BE A VICTIM OF ABUSE. AT MCHC, WE SEEK TO TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON. PRIMARY CARE CONSULTATION - PRIMARY CARE CONSULTATION (PCC) IS AN INTEGRATED PRIMARY CARE/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM DESIGNED TO SERVE PATIENTS WHOSE HEALTH IS AFFECTED BY STRESS, WHO HAVE PROBLEMS MAINTAINING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND/OR THOSE AFFECTED BY PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS. THE PCC MODEL ENCOURAGES MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS TO COLLABORATE AND UNDERSTAND THE PATIENT HOLISTICALLY, AN APPROACH THAT IS BROADLY ADVOCATED WITHIN THE DISCIPLINES OF FAMILY MEDICINE, SOCIAL WORK AND PSYCHIATRY. PSYCHOTHERAPY - MCHC'S PSYCHOTHERAPY DEPARTMENT PROVIDES OUTPATIENT PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELING SERVICES. ELIGIBLE PATIENTS ARE REFERRED TO ONE OF OUR PSYCHIATRISTS, LICENSED PSYCHOLOGISTS OR LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS WHO PROVIDE SERVICES AT OUR CENTERS. WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICES CARE FOR HER, AN INNOVATIVE, BY-WOMEN, FOR-WOMEN HEALTH UNIT, WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2002. IT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICES IN A SENSITIVE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. THE PROGRAM'S STAFFING MODEL RELIES ON CERTIFIED NURSE-MIDWIVES AND FAMILY NURSE-PRACTITIONERS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO A BROAD ARRAY OF SUPPORT STAFF, INCLUDING WOMEN'S HEALTH SPECIALISTS, NURSES, HEALTH EDUCATORS, NUTRITIONISTS, BREASTFEEDING SPECIALISTS, CANCER SPECIALISTS AND LAB TECHNICIANS.

MCHC IS PROUD OF OUR PREGNANCY CARE PROGRAM. A SEAMLESSLY BILINGUAL STAFF OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN HAS CREATED A HOMELIKE ENVIRONMENT WHERE WOMEN MAY COME TO PREPARE FOR THE BIRTH OF THEIR CHILD. PRENATAL EDUCATION CLASSES CREATE A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT ALLOWS FAMILIES TO FURTHER DEVELOP CHILD-REARING SKILLS. CARE FOR HER OFFERS HANDS-ON INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION FOR THE PREGNANT MOTHERS ENTERING OUR PRACTICE. IN OUR EXPERIENCE, EXPECTANT MOTHERS WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS. WE KNOW THIS ONE-ON-ONE EDUCATION SUPPORTS THE GROWING FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. CLASSES INCLUDE PREGNANCY EDUCATION, PARENTING SKILLS, NUTRITION, FAMILY PLANNING, DIABETES, INFANT CARE, BREAST-FEEDING AND EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT. CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT DIABETES, CANCER AND HIV/AIDS ARE THE KINDS OF SERIOUS ILLNESSES AFFECTING OUR PATIENTS. IN A VARIETY OF WAYS WE GRAPPLE WITH MEETING SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM TREATMENT NEEDS OF THESE MORE FRAGILE PATIENTS. MCHC HAS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN IMPLEMENTING THE HEALTH DISPARITIES COLLABORATIVE MODEL OF CARE. WE CURRENTLY PARTICIPATE IN DIABETES, CANCER SCREENING, AND HIV COLLABORATIVE. THESE PROJECTS USE PATIENT REGISTRIES AND CLINICAL GUIDELINES TO IMPROVE OUR PROVISION OF CARE. DR. BILL FISHER, BOARD CHAIR EMERITUS, TAKES AN ACTIVE ROLE IN OUR CANCER COLLABORATIVE WORK AS A PHYSICIAN-CHAMPION. ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS, WE EXTEND SUPPORT TO OUR PATIENTS THROUGH OUR CASE MANAGERS. CASE MANAGERS WORK WITH THE CLINICAL TEAM TO HELP FORMULATE COST-EFFECTIVE CARE PLANS. THESE CARE COORDINATING STAFF MEMBERS ALSO TAKE ON THE TASK OF IDENTIFYING A PATIENT'S UNIQUE NEEDS AND THEN HELP CONNECT THEM TO COMMUNITY SERVICES THAT MAY FILL IMMEDIATE NEEDS FOR NUTRITION, SHELTER AND TRANSPORTATION. MCHC IS PROUD THAT ITS CARE FOR ITS PATIENTS DOES NOT END AT THE DOOR, AND THAT OUR YEARS OF COMMUNITY COLLABORATION HAVE STRENGTHENED THE COMMUNITY'S SAFETY NET SO IT EFFICIENTLY PROTECTS ITS MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES (PFS) BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT ACCESSING SUPPORT FOR HEALTH CARE CAN BE DIFFICULT, WE HAVE A STRONG PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES STAFF TRAINED TO HELP PATIENTS NAVIGATE PUBLIC INSURANCE PROGRAM APPLICATIONS. THEY ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ADVOCATES WHO ASSIST OUR PATIENTS IN ACCESSING AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE. IN ADDITION TO PFS REPRESENTATIVES, MCHC OFFERS ACCESS TO A FAMILY ASSISTANCE REPRESENTATIVE (FAR) FROM COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICES. THIS COLLABORATIVE SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO OUR PATIENTS AT EACH OF OUR CENTERS, EXPEDITING PROCESSING OF PROGRAM APPLICATIONS AND ENSURING THAT ELIGIBLE PATIENTS MAY OBTAIN HEALTHCARE BENEFITS IN A TIMELY MANNER. PHARMACY PEOPLE IN GREATEST NEED CANNOT CONSISTENTLY ACCESS AFFORDABLE MEDICATIONS. THOSE WHO ARE LOW INCOME, UNINSURED AND/OR HAVE CHRONIC CONDITIONS ARE MOST SEVERELY IMPACTED BY LACK OF ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE MEDICATIONS. BECAUSE OF ITS ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT TO ACCESS, MCHC HAS A FULL-TIME, LICENSED, BILINGUAL PHARMACIST AT HILLSIDE HEALTH CENTER. BY MAINTAINING A FULL-SERVICE PHARMACY, MCHC CAN MAKE LIFE-SAVING MEDICATIONS AVAILABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS AT REDUCED FEES. MCHC ALSO PARTICIPATES IN THE 340B DISCOUNTED DRUG PROGRAM AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE FREE MEDICATIONS TO ELIGIBLE USERS.
