Health Care Services
The clinic provides primary and preventive medical care, including mental health care. Comprehensive care is provided for acute illness and continuing care is provided for asthma, hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses.
The clinic holds numerous specialty care clinics. The clinic also arranges necessary off-site specialty care referrals after a preliminary exam at the clinic and with the recommendation of the clinic physician. The clinic provides resource information, health education and limited laboratory and X-rays.
The clinic staff enrolls its patients in the Patient Assistance Programs, offered by various pharmaceutical companies to cover prescribed medications for the uninsured.
Sandhills Community Care Network is a community health network
that works with local health departments, hospitals, and social
service agencies to better manage the care for low-income residents.
They provide the clinic with a case manager to assist our patients
with a variety of health care-related issues. Our new partnership
with Sandhills Mental Health and FirstHealth allows us to provide
mental health services for our patients and has been an important
step in providing comprehensive and holistic care to our patients.
We hope to expand our mental health services to include new support
programs, which would enhance our current screening and psychiatry
program. The clinic also has off-site physician volunteers in
radiology and pathology who provide critical diagnostic services to
the clinic at no cost.
The clinic is staffed by an Executive Director, Clinic Director, Administrative Assistant, full-time nurse, and a full-time Patient Care Coordinator. Physicians, mid-level care providers, and nurses from the community contribute many volunteer hours to treat the clinic's patients.
All medical providers are licensed by the state.
Please see the clinic’s eligibility
requirements.
After pre-qualification by our eligibility reviewer, a physician
sees a patient in our office. If necessary, the attending physician
can refer the patient to a specialist, or to one of our cooperating
hospitals for more extensive medical testing.
