Community Health Programs


SATELLITE CLINICS

OCHC has two satellite clinics. One is in the Hubbs Adult Learning Center and the other is in the Liberty Plaza housing complex. OCHC operates weekly clinics at both of these sites and in 2007 served over 1,000 patients. Services provided include prenatal education, free pregnancy tests, free dental screenings and fluoride treatments for children, free glucose and blood pressure screenings. The OCHC community health workers (CHWs) serve as a bridge between clients at the satellites sites and the health providers at the two clinic sites. Following is a description of the two centers:
