A recent study revealed that more than 1 in 10 FQHC patients are impacted by social risk factors. While funding that supports FQHC's efforts in meeting patients' social needs is only starting to pick up and usually comes with disproportionate administrative burden, some of those safety net clinics have been addressing the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) of their patients and community for many years. At Elica Health Centers, we operate a Resource Center that houses a Community Closet and a Food Pantry. All community members are welcomed to stop by for clothing, household items, fresh and pantry foods, information on resources in the community, as well as personalized assistance in becoming our patients and navigating the health care system. When patients are seen in clinic or over the phone, when discussing their referrals with referral coordinators or speaking to any other Elica staff, they are screened for SDOH or may present with a barrier during those interactions. Providers and all other staff may recommend Care Coordination and send a referral to our Social Care team. Our Social Care team of trained Care Coordinators, Enhanced Care Management staff, and Coordinated Access Navigators are ready to navigate the patients through resources and the health care system, direct patients to appropriate housing resources, as well as plan and support patients on their journey to physical, mental and social wellbeing. Elica Mobile and Street Medicine units are ready to "meet patients where they are." The Health on Wheels mobile medicine program features state-of-the-art mobile health clinics with full exam rooms that provide services to two primary groups: hard to reach populations with barriers to accessing care and underserved students at select schools within Elica's service area. https://lnkd.in/eirx3Frz

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month! Yes, mental health issues can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, income, social status, sexual orientation, or other aspects of cultural identity. So why is Minority Mental Health being highlighted this month? Minorities face unique challenges when it comes to Mental Health. Obstacles for many include a lack of health insurance, less access to treatment, limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate services, and stigma. Let's take this time to better understand how the unique environments, cultures, histories, and circumstances (or Social Determinants of Health) impact Mental Health. At Elica, we work tirelessly to break barriers by addressing the SDOH, address stigma through education, and improve access by offering integrated Behavioral Health services. #HealingWithHeart #MentalHealth #MinorityMentalHealth #FQHC #Sacramento #CHC #Elica #PatientFirst #SDOH #July
