Care Ring

Low-Cost Clinic - a medical home for under/uninsured men, women and children offering chronic disease management, sick care, preventive health services (school/work physicals, immunizations, etc.), mental health care and health coaching. The clinic is under the direction of a physician, with two full-time and two part-time Nurse Practitioners and bilingual support staff providing care in a warm and welcoming environment.

Physicians Reach Out – a coordinated physician referral service through which 1,600 volunteer providers offer specialty care (cardiology, orthopedic, etc.), primary care and diagnostic services to low-income, uninsured patients, in their offices, free-of-charge. Upon enrollment, staff assigns each patient to a primary care provider, provides education on navigating the healthcare system and coordinates needed specialty care.

Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) – a nurse home visitation program that pairs specially trained registered nurses with low-income expectant mothers who have risk factors, such as adolescent pregnancy or low academic achievement. During weekly/bi-weekly visits, nurses help mothers set goals, stay in school and find jobs. They link families to medical services, promote prenatal care and teach positive child development skills.
