Project Description
The barriers which have traditionally prevented public housing residents from
receiving primary health care have been reduced, due to the establishment of
health centers on-site in public housing communities. Health centers have been
opened in two of the three public housing developments and are fully staffed
with family medicine providers. A full-time social worker coordinates the
delivery of educational and health services.
Services
Pediatric, adult, and geriatric medicine, transportation, dental screenings, medical
home visits for the elderly; educational seminars, games, and exercise classes,
tutoring and reading classes for children, parenting classes, referral to
medical specialists.
