Medical Director: Mark Bulgarelli, DO
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 helps 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 and the San Diego Housing Commission, which effectively
links areas of agency expertise.

Project Description
La Maestra Family Clinic (LMFC) is a not-for-profit, primary care community
health center founded in July 1991 to serve the poor, immigrants, and refugees.
La Maestra means "The Teacher" and the health center is unique in
that it provides healthcare services, dental and mental health, as well as job
training and placement, educational and social services and eligibility
assistance. More than 19 languages are spoken by the LMFC staff.
LMFC uses a cultural liaison model to help recruit and train individuals from ethnically diverse populations to become medical assistants and support staff as medically trained cultural liaisons. This model provides a two-way conduit for communication between the provider and the patient, educating both sides about the other.
Services
In addition to providing medical and dental services, LMFC has also developed
other enabling services necessary to the well-being and health of the family:
job training, citizenship assistance, health and housing, mentoring for ethnic
CBO's, linkages to social services, and advocacy for cultural and linguistic
competence in healthcare, among others.

less than $10,000 per year, 28 percent of households are headed by single
