Project Description
The PHPC Program provides residents of selected public housing communities
access to comprehensive, consistent health care services through the direct
provision of primary health care services, health promotion, and disease
prevention activities on or near the premises of public housing developments.
The Program provides primary health care and dental services through the Mobile
Medical Unit (MMU).
The MMU makes weekly and bi-weekly visits to designated public housing sites, and works in conjunction with Outreach Workers and a Dual Diagnosis Counselor in service provision. Outreach Workers promote program services to residents, and offer health education and assistance in completing forms/paperwork as needed, while the Dual Diagnosis Counselor provides mental health and substance abuse counseling and referrals to residents in their homes. Additionally, residents referred for health care services not provided by PHPC in their housing community will be provided access to transportation.
Services
The PHPC Program provides primary health care services to children and adults
that include preventative dental care, health education, outreach, diagnostic,
laboratory, case management and mental health services. The Program refers
residents to qualified facilities and practitioners for other necessary
services, including pharmacy, x-ray, substance abuse and mental health
services. The Program aids residents to establish eligibility for assistance
under programs such as Medi-Cal and Healthy Families (low-cost health insurance
for children).
Linkages/Partnerships
The PHPC Program is a collaborative effort between Family Health Centers of San
Diego (FHCSD) and the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC), which effectively
links areas of agency expertise.
BPHC Collaborative Participation
FHCSD, by virtue of its recent BPHC MH/SA Expansion funding, participates in a
Depression Collaborative.

Project Description
Grace Hill Neighborhood Health Centers has developed a collaborative approach
to providing coordinated and comprehensive health care to the residents of
public housing. The five Grace Hill health center sites are all located in some
of the most underserved neighborhoods of St. Louis, all sites are within
walking distance or within a one mile radius of public housing complexes.
Services
The residents of public housing complexes receive comprehensive health care
through numerous Grace Hill services coordinated along an integrated continuum
of care. The services provided include: Primary Health Care including adult
medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, prenatal care, dental, optometry, pharmacy,
developmental and mental health services for children, targeted services for
the frail elderly, social services, nurse case management services, WIC, out
posted DFS services and transportation.
Extensive outreach services are conducted by Grace Hill's outreach team on the
three Health To Go Vans (Salud en Marcha) which go to several public housing
complexes and Section 8 units on a regular, scheduled basis. Outreach staff on
these vans provide health education, screening, make appointments for patients
at various health center locations, and arrange transportation and other
services needed to help the patient access health care.
Linkages/Partnerships
Adolescent Peer Counseling allows neighborhood youth to serve as peer counselors.
Parenting Courses are provided for parents with special needs. Mental health services are provided for children with developmental delays and behavior
problems up to the age of 12 years. This program has been expanded and
coordinated by Grace Hill's Children's Developmental Center (CDC).
The PHPC Coalition comprising of representatives from the TMC's, area agencies,
AIDS Service Organizations, other tenants and consumers meets monthly. This
group reviews progress reports, provides input into decisions impacting their
neighborhood, shares information on new resources and helps problem solve in a
supportive and sharing environment.
BPHC Collaborative Participation
The Diabetes, Asthma, Breast and Cervical Cancer Collaboratives and The Cardio
Vascular Disease Initiative. Grace Hill has also participated in the IHI sponsored 'Redesigning the Patient
Visit' collaborative and has since been implemented at all sites. Using a similar model and
PDSA strategies, Grace Hill also implemented the following four initiatives:
- Smoking Cessation
- Lead Poisoning Initiative
- Advanced Access
- "With Every Heartbeat is Life" Initiative to address cardiovascular health for
African Americans living in Public Housing.
