NEWS School Health Clinics’ Patient Navigators provide personal guidance to patients as they move through the healthcare system, helping them overcome challenges and barriers (like language and transportation), especially when they are referred for specialty care. Helping patients stay on course is just one of the many ways School Health Clinics of Santa Clara County is working hard every day to ensure patients receive the highest quality care possible. |
NEWS School Health Clinics is participating in a pilot project to provide Whole Person Care specifically targeted at populations that lack the resources to maintain stable housing and are frequent emergency room users. With the staggering rise in homelessness (a 41% increase county-wide in the last two years) the need is clearly there. By better coordinating health, behavioral health, and social services in a patient-centered manner, the project's goal is to improve patient health and well-being through a better use of resources. |
NEWS Project Linus provides provides love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children in need through the gift of new, handmade blankets. The San José Chapter has distributed more than 87,000 blankets to local nonprofits since 2002, including School Health Clinics. We are grateful to Project Linus for keeping our young patients warm and secure each year with soft, cozy blankets. |
