By providing those services that allow families to <br />survive and flourish, DSFRC has become a key leader in guiding its client-families out of <br />poverty and into productive lives. Adding to a service matrix that includes child care, free <br />acute medical care, mental health supportive services, family and domestic abuse counseling, <br />emergency food, clothing, housing assistance, and utilities support, in 2014, DSFRC is adding <br />a full service primary health care clinic to meets its clients’ health needs . <br />The Davis Street Primary Care Clinic (the PCC) will allow sick children, including those who <br />are customers in its child care facilities, to be immediately seen by a physician; patients seen <br />in the PCC with uncontrolled diabetes, for example, can be taken by nutrition counselors to <br />the adjacent Food Bank and guided toward selecting healthier meal choices. The addition of <br />the PCC, which is directly attached to a dedicated Family Resource Center, will provide <br />another community resource for citizens needing a helping hand. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/10/2014
