We take a medical history on
our clients. We create a personal history with them.
SMHC provides a wide range
of high quality primary medical, disease prevention,
dental and podiatry care. Pre-natal and well-baby care,
patient education and outreach are also available.
Our services are tailored to meet the special health
needs of our community. Although specialty care is primarily
provided by referral, we provide expanded services on-site
for HIV/AIDS, gastrointestinal disorders and diabetes.
To address problems associated with pain medication
management, SMHC is implementing a chronic pain management
program, with a special focus on dual-diagnosed clients.
And, SMHC has a satellite clinic to serve the specific
needs of our seniors.
Yet what truly sets us apart is how we deliver our services.
Many of our clients have had difficulty accessing quality
healthcare, and come to SMHC with multiple health problems.
At SMHC, we take the time to listen to our clients and
understand their values, beliefs and customs. By establishing
a relationship with our clients, we help overcome the
barriers that have prevented them from receiving quality
healthcare.
Our approach includes treating the whole individual,
not just their physical complaints. In addition to providing
medical care, we refer patients to support and enabling
services for substance abuse, mental health and social
services.
