About
HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS: CARE ALLIANCE HEALTH CENTER WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1985 AS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS PROJECTS IN THE NATION AND IN 1993 BECAME AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. TODAY, CARE ALLIANCE CONTINUES ITS FOCUS ON PROVIDING HEALTH CARE TO THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND AS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER RECEIVING FUNDING THROUGH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA). AFTER MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS OF PROVIDING HEALTH CARE TO THE HOMELESS POPULATION, CARE ALLIANCE HAS BUILT A STRONG RAPPORT WITH THIS POPULATION AS WELL AS DEVELOPING TREMENDOUS RESPECT AS AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF THE LOCAL DELIVERY SYSTEM OF SAFETY-NET PROVIDERS. THE HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS PROGRAM OFFERS PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AT ALL FOUR OF CARE ALLIANCE'S PRIMARY CLINIC LOCATIONS AS WELL AS AT OUTREACH SITES THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS TEND TO CONGREGATE. COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AT ALL OF OUR MAIN CLINICS. INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAVE UNIQUE HEALTH CARE NEEDS. THEY ARE AT HIGH-RISK OF CONTRACTING OR EXACERBATING SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITIONS AS A RESULT OF PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO SEVERE WEATHER AND REDUCED ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. AS A RESULT, INDIVIDUALS ARE OFTEN TREATED AT LATER STAGES OF DISEASE AND HAVE HIGHER MORTALITY AND CHRONIC MORBIDITY THAN INDIVIDUALS WITH ACCESS TO CONSISTENT HEALTH CARE. AT OUR OUTREACH CLINICS, WE SEE MANY PATIENTS WHO HAVE CHRONIC ILLNESSES AND ACUTE HEALTH ISSUES. IN AN ATTEMPT TO REACH A GREATER NUMBER OF HOMELESS PERSONS WHO MAY NOT BE CONNECTED THROUGH SAFETY NET SERVICES, CARE ALLIANCE HAS ESTABLISHED COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY WHERE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS TEND TO CONGREGATE SO THAT THEY MAY PROVIDE MEDICAL AND SUPPORTIVE CARE. THESE OUTREACH LOCATIONS INCLUDE: THE LUTHERAN METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES MEN'S SHELTER, THE PAYNE AVENUE WOMEN'S SHELTER. THE CITY MISSION, LAURA'S HOME, WEST SIDE CATHOLIC CENTER, AND THE SALVATION ARMY ADULT REHABILITATION CENTER, AMONG OTHERS. THROUGH OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM, CARE ALLIANCE IS ABLE TO OFFER CLINICS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF CLEVELAND WHERE INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS MAY MEET TO OBTAIN A MEAL, SOCIAL SERVICES, A SHOWER, OR SHELTER. IN 2015, CARE ALLIANCE LAUNCHED A MOBILE CLINIC PROGRAM TO SERVE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. BY PROVIDING THESE SERVICES IN ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE COMFORTABLE, OUR OUTREACH STAFF ARE BETTER ABLE TO ENGAGE PATIENTS INTO CARE WITH THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF BRINGING THEM INTO ONE OF OUR PRIMARY CLINICS TO OBTAIN THE FULL SCOPE OF COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES NEEDED TO TRANSITION FROM HOMELESSNESS INTO STABLE HOUSING. CLIENTS SERVED = 3,659.
