program at four PHS health center sites as well as the Orange County Health Department. <br /> New this year,Piedmont Health and the Department are collaborating on a Susan G. <br /> Komexi NC Triangle to the Coast Affiliate funded mammography program for low- <br /> income uninsured women. <br /> • Chapel Hi VCarrboro and Hillsborough Chambers of Commerce: PHS began the <br /> Small Business Health Care Initiative to offer Chamber members' uninsured employees <br /> (or those with high deductible plans)an affordable source of primary health care at <br /> Carrboro Community Health Center. <br /> • UNC SHAC Free Clinics: PHS provides its Carrboro Community Health Center facility <br /> and the technical assistance of its Directors in realizing the UNC SHAC Free Clinic(at <br /> the Carrboro Community Health Center on Wednesday evenings). <br /> • Interfaith Council on Social Services IFC Homeless Shelters: The Carrboro <br /> Community Health Center is a referral site for homeless residents in Orange County who <br /> have chronic medical problems, and we participate in the annual Project Homeless <br /> Connect program. <br /> • AccessCare Inc.(Medicaid Network): PHS is a major partner in its regional <br /> Community Care of North Carolina Program charged with case managing the Medicaid <br /> population of Alamance, Caswell,Chatham,and Orange Counties.The Medicaid <br /> network includes all area `safety-net' health care providers(hospitals, community health <br /> centers,health departments, departments of social services)in addition to the private <br /> practice community serving Medicaid clients and works collaboratively on quality <br /> initiatives to better serve the population. <br /> • UNC Health Care: Piedmont Health is a training location for many students from UNC <br /> health professional schools(e.g. medical, dental,pharmacy,nutrition, public health) <br /> Similar to the Chamber of Commerce program,Piedmont Health created the"Carolina <br /> Health Net"program with UNC Health Care to triage the primary care unassigned <br /> uninsured of our service area identified at UNC to a primary care home at PHS. <br /> • Orange County Partnership for Children: The Partnership funds a Bilingual Child <br /> Resource Coordinator as part of our CHC program who focuses on coordinating primary <br /> care services for immigrant/refugee children age 0-5 years. <br /> 6. How does your agency reach out to various ethnic and minority groups in the <br /> community to accomplish or enhance the results of the Program(s)to be funded? <br /> Community Health Centers nationally have the common goal of trying to guarantee <br /> "100%health care access and 0%health care disparities"to the communities they serve. <br /> Piedmont Health Services is committed to offering high-quality, accessible care to minority <br /> communities in its service area, and its current Carrboro Community Health Center patient <br /> population is approximately 69% Latino, 9%n African American, and 6% Asian. Specific to the <br /> Latino population, approximately 75% of PHS medical and dental providers and 40% of other <br /> staff are Spanish-bilingual (with many bi-cultural staff), and we pride ourselves on offering <br /> culturally-competent care to this large immigrant population. PHS frequently participates in <br /> various outreach events (e.g. church health fairs,El Fora,Fiesta del Pueblo) and advertises in <br /> various minority-targeted publications (e.g. La Voz,the Black Pages). It also has a community <br /> outreach focus on the African-American faith-based community in Orange County. <br /> Revised November 21,2013 Page 6 of 15 Pages <br />
