Services
Behavioral Health
Integrated Behavioral Health services provide accessible mental health care across all clinics and school-based centers. Our clinicians offer assessments, individual and group therapy, and crisis intervention for children, adolescents, and adults. Case managers connect patients with community resources while our staff collaborates with medical providers to ensure holistic treatment approaches that address both mental health concerns and substance use issues.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include preventive care, general dentistry, and specialty treatments. We offer exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and pediatric dental care with emergency services available. While comprehensive adult care has limited availability, our sliding fee scale ensures affordable access to essential dental treatments for patients of all ages in underserved communities.
Community Health Education
Our community health initiatives focus on prevention and health promotion through education programs. Services include enrollment assistance for Medi-Cal and Covered California, patient navigation, and outreach programs addressing chronic disease prevention, mental health stigma reduction, and lead prevention. These programs empower individuals to make informed health decisions and access available resources effectively.
Adolescent Services
Specialized healthcare services for teens address unique health needs through accessible, affordable care. Our clinics provide immunizations, physical exams, lab tests, and chronic illness management specifically tailored for adolescents. School-based health centers offer convenient access to medical care while addressing barriers that prevent low-income teens from receiving necessary healthcare services.
Health Coaching
Registered dietitians and health educators provide personalized wellness guidance using motivational interviewing techniques. Our health coaches help patients set and achieve wellness goals related to chronic disease prevention, perinatal education, and sexual health. During the pandemic, these services remained accessible through telephone consultations, ensuring continuous support for patients' health improvement efforts.
