Project Description
The PHPC project provides community health education, mental health and
chemical dependency counseling and related outreach services to residents in
three public housing sites: Rainier Vista, New Holly, and High Point.
Services
PSNHC provides comprehensive primary medical, dental, OB, mental health,
chemical dependency counseling and ancillary services to public housing
residents. PSNHC's services are provided in a manner that encourages patients'
active participation in improving and maintaining their own health. This
includes a strong emphasis on health promotion education and preventive
services.
The health center services are provided in teams; a provider or mid-level works
with a nurse, medical assistant, front desk staff member and interpreter. The
mental health counselors work closely with the medical providers. The health
educators work in a team with the outreach staff and the public housing
resident advisors to deliver information that is requested and relevant to
meeting residents' expectations.
