MAIN APPLICATION offered by site. In addition to the New Access Point award, PHS garnered capital funds from HRSA to renovate its Carrboro Health Center to expand its dental clinic from 3 to 6 chairs and expand /enhance delivery space for its other services. This renovation is expected to be completed during the proposed funding period (2016- 2017). Piedmont Health Services Inc.: Orange Countv -Based Programs ** Services of the CCHC medical program include the Reach Out and Read early literacy program, Mobile Mammography Van and Group Diabetes Visits. To assure adequate access to services, PHS health centers use an open access scheduling system that provides scheduled appointments as well as same -day access to care for urgent needs. There is 24 -hour access to medical advice via the UNC nurse triage line, and PHS works closely with UNC and other hospitals to assure a smooth continue of care for its patients. PHS continues to be recognized for the quality of the primary care services it provides. It has been accredited by The Joint Commission since 2001, and is now recognized by the NCQA as a Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home. FQHCs are expected to be supported by the communities they serve. PHS' Federal funder, HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care, expects all FQHCs to demonstrate other sources of funding besides their Federal grant dollars (which are used to partially underwrite the cost of uncompensated care), including primarily: program revenue generated through insurance billing and patient payments on the sliding fee scale, state and local grants, and donations. In funding PHS, the Towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill and Orange County help it to demonstrate community support, support critical to garnering additional competitive funding. Other current grant funders of PHS' three Orange County -based community health center programs include: the NCDHHS Community Health Center Grant program, UNC Health Care, Susan G. Komen for the Cure NC Triangle Affiliate, and the Orange County Partnership for Children.
