Health

Our urgent priority is to restore community health by providing consistent care and access to quality resources.

Primary care keeps families healthy and out of the emergency room.

AltaMed is committed to prevention and early intervention of chronic disease by providing breast cancer screenings, childhood vaccinations, and consistent care for patients with diabetes and hypertension. Many of AltaMed’s patients are dealing with multiple health issues, while others are facing serious complications, including organ damage and risk of stroke, heart attack, and even death.

AltaMed will increase its outreach and community-building efforts, focusing on women and mothers, who often are responsible for their entire family’s health care. Our work with mothers will center on:

Encouraging annual vaccinations and doctor’s visits.
Prioritizing their own health screenings, including mammograms.
Connecting them with a coordinated care provider who can help with follow-up and education.

What We Are Doing

We keep families healthy and happy through primary care practices, such as restoring and improving rates of basic screenings and chronic disease management.

With Your Support, AltaMed Will Make Targeted Investments in Measures of Equity, Including:

INCREASED SCREENINGS & IMMUNIZATIONS

Outreach and community-building encourage annual vaccinations and screenings.

EXPANDED STAFFING
CAPACITY

More personnel means better coordinated care for patient populations.

OUTREACH, TRANSPORTATION & EDUCATION

Patients are encouraged and assisted in visiting our centers for basic health maintenance on a routine basis.

It’s time that we give back to mothers

In order to create real changes in the health and well-being of our communities, there must be strategic investments made in those who make decisions regarding the health care of the family. It’s time that we give back to mothers, to ensure they have the proper support and resources to keep themselves and their families healthy with a network of innovative accessible community programs.

We need to Investment in women and children’s health. Early and consistent care helps women keep themselves and their families healthy and thriving.
