East Liberty Family Health Care Center

Provide Health Care to residents in the neighborhoods of the East end of pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Center provided Health Care services to low income patients. Other enabling services the Center offers are benefits eligibility counseling to enroll patients in insurance coverage, peer support to persons living with hiv, or struggling with addiction, and case management for high risk individuals including pregnant women and patients with behavioral Health issues.

The organization provided in-home services to home bound elderly, including home visits by physicians and nurses. The goal of this program is to provide Care to home bound elderly who are unable to come into the office and to allow these people to age with dignity in their own homes for as long as possible. We went to local homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and drop-in centers to form relationships with the homeless, and when trust developed, invited them into Care at our offices.

The dental program of the organization provided quality dental Care to all, regardless of the ability to pay, with the emphasis being on preventative and restorative services to achieve and maintain good oral Health.
