ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
"DESERT SENITA DELIVERS A BROAD RANGE OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN A CULTURALLY-APPROPRIATE MANNER TO ALL PATIENTS. OUR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF OUR PATIENTS BY PROVIDING ACCESSIBLE AND COMPREHENSIVE HIGH-QUALITY PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES, AND PROMOTING PREVENTIVE CARE AND HEALTH EDUCATION." DESERT SENITA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER IS THE SOLE PROVIDER OF PRIMARY HEALTH AND DENTAL SERVICES IN THE ENTIRE RURAL, FRONTIER AJO PRIMARY CARE AREA, A GEOGRAPHICALLY-ISOLATED AREA ROUGHLY 2/3 THE SIZE OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT AND SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES BY FEDERAL LANDS, WITH A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 4,000 RESIDENTS. DESERT SENITA CURRENTLY PROVIDES SERVICES TO ABOUT 75% OF LOCAL RESIDENTS, AND TYPICALLY RECORDS OVER 15,000 PATIENT VISITS A YEAR. THE DESERT SENITA ORGANIZATION HAS EVOLVED FROM A HOSPITAL AND OUTPATIENT FACILITY WHICH WAS RUN BY A LARGE MINING COMPANY UNTIL IT CEASED LOCAL OPERATIONS IN 1986. FOLLOWING THE MINE CLOSURE, THE HOSPITAL CLOSED AND THE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT FACILITY RELOCATED TO THE MINE'S FORMER SINGLE MEN'S DORMITORY, IN A MORE CENTRAL AREA OF THE AJO COMMUNITY. THE HEALTH CENTER WAS THEN RUN BY HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS HIRED BY THE MINING COMPANY FOR A FEW YEARS, PRIOR TO BECOMING AN INDEPENDENTLY-RUN FACILITY IN THE LATE 1990S. DESERT SENITA HAS BEEN AN INDEPENDENT, OUTPATIENT TREATMENT FACILITY SINCE 1997 AND BECAME A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) IN 2001. THE HEALTH CENTER PROVIDES HEALTH CARE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY, INCLUDING PREVENTATIVE AND PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES, DENTAL SERVICES, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, OUTREACH AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND ELIGIBILITY ASSISTANCE FOR AHCCCS AND OTHER SLIDING FEE SCALE AND DISCOUNTED SERVICES PROGRAMS. DESERT SENITA EXPANDED ITS DENTAL SERVICES IN EARLY 2009, MOVING TO A RENOVATED FACILITY WHICH DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF OPERATORIES FROM 3 TO 6. THE RENOVATED DENTAL BUILDING IS 2400+ SQUARE FEET, FEATURING A MODERN DESIGN AND SETTING. A COMBINATION OF STATE, LOCAL, AND FOUNDATION GRANTS PROVIDED THE FUNDING FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE RENOVATION, AND NO ADDITIONAL DEBT WAS INCURRED IN THE COMPLETION OF THE EXPANSION PROJECT. THE EXPANDED SPACE AND MODERN DESIGN IS ALLOWING TWO DENTISTS AND A DENTAL HYGIENIST TO EASILY ACCOMMODATE DEMAND AND TO OPERATE EFFICIENTLY AND PRODUCTIVELY. IN JANUARY 2010 DESERT SENITA IMPLEMENTED IN-HOUSE PHARMACY SERVICES AT ITS MAIN MEDICAL FACILITY SITE. DESERT SENITA RECEIVED PHARMACY SERVICE EXPANSION FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT IN-HOUSE PHARMACY SERVICES IN LATE 2008, AND ALSO APPLIED FOR AND SUBSEQUENTLY WAS AWARDED FEDERAL STIMULUS FUNDING IN MID-2009 FOR THE BUILDING EXPANSION NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE THE IN-HOUSE PHARMACY.
