Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Leon County and Tallahassee have been investigating and studying the needs and strategies to provide primary health care to the uninsured in the community. A Community Task Force and then an advisory panel have developed the plan that calls on existing clinic providers of care to expand their current operations to cover more people. This facility was planned for that mission. It will allow the health department to meet the growing needs of the working poor. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
|
The number of patients receiving services at this site will be reported and the goal will be 12,000 per year. The types of primary care problems treated are anticipated to be: diabetes, heart and cancer patients, routine upper respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses. This should result in a potential reduction of emergency room use for non-emergency cases. The goal is $1,000,000 per year in cost savings. |
