The Family Health Clinic is a community-based medical home that provides healthcare services for every member of the family. Prevention and education play a key role in our clinic and are always discussed during patient visits. We also offer group and one-on-one educational classes on Diabetes, Nutrition, Asthma, Glucometer use, medication in-take, and weight management among other topics.
It is our goal to provide healthcare that is accessible and affordable to all patients. We use a sliding scale fee schedule and provide several types of financial assistance programs described below. Family Assistance Plans: Offers discounted medical and prescription services based upon household income.
Family Planning Program: Program provides free or low cost family planning and reproductive healthcare to eligible patients. Prescription Assistance Program: Provide assistance for qualifying patients to receive free prescription drugs directly from the pharmaceutical companies.
Social Services are available at FHC for established patients. We employ financial counselors who work through a network of local and regional agencies to find resources to assist patients with referrals to specialists, prescriptions, medical equipment, home health, and other necessary services.
The FHC is dedicated to promoting literacy and prevention through community outreach activities such as presentations and newsletters directed to ECISD schools, community organizations, and senior centers among others. The analysis includes a careful review of the most current health data available, demographics and input from numerous community representatives. The process culminates in the development of an Implementation Plan to address the significant needs identified through the CHNA.
