Happy New Year! 

    Happy New Logo!


Community Health Partnership of Santa Clara County would like to officially introduce its new look and say goodbye to the old. With the rollout of the new logo, we would also like to take a moment to look back and appreciate some of the things that CHP accomplished in 2017 with the help of our many partners!

E Consult

Community Health Partnership and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center helped pave the way for clinic primary care providers to quickly consult with medical specialists electronically regarding patient needs. Specialist appointment wait times were slashed from months to weeks due to the rapid consultations between health care providers which also improved access to speciality care for more patients.

PHASE
Preventing Heart Attacks and Strokes Everyday (PHASE) is a population health management program focused on patients 18 and over with a current or previous diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (Heart Disease), Diabetes Mellitus, TIA/Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke), or Hypertension. Community Health Partnership’s 36-month PHASE project will be achieved through an intensive practice coaching, onsite technical assistance, and interactive skill-building training. This program allows CHCs to build their capacities around workflow redesign, patient engagement, and data collection to manage the health of their patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Primary Care

Access Program

PCAP is a County funded program which reimburses participating health centers for providing primary health care to the residual uninsured adults who reside in Santa Clara County. The program was very successful in its first year, reaching 85% of it's target goal by registering 4,229 patients. Recent focus groups show that these patients are very pleased with the program, the enrollment process, and their new medical home health teams! 

Collective Impact

It takes a village to raise a healthy community, so a village we set out to build! With generous support from the County of Santa Clara and Supervisor Simitian, CHP reached out to various community based organizations who were interested in creating cross sector partnerships in Santa Clara County's District 5. The response was incredible! Over 30 organizations participated in 3 convenings which focused on the needs of the district, the challenges of creating and sustaining collaborations, and technical support in “ready to launch” programs. Agencies, such as Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence and Alum Rock Counseling Center took immediate action following these convenings and have proposed partnerships with CHP member clinics in the areas of behavioral health and intimate partner violence screening.

Every Woman Counts

Every Woman Counts (EWC) is a program of the California Department of Health Care Services that offers free breast and cervical cancer screenings and diagnostic services to California’s low income, under-served population. Community Health Partnership has a contract with the State to provide public and provider education throughout Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey counties. We have 72 active providers throughout these counties who can provide EWC services to eligible recipients. To be eligible, individuals must live in California, be uninsured or underinsured, have low household income (at or below 200% FPL), and meet the age requirements (21 yrs or older for cervical and 40 yrs or older for breast). However, as of January 1, 2017, individuals of any age who present with symptoms suggestive of breast cancer may now qualify for EWC. In 2017, we successfully reached 4,883 individuals at various community events, health education classes, and one-on-one outreach opportunities.

Recognition!

Community Health Partnership and its CEO, Dolores Alvarado, received numerous commendations and awards this year for the hard work that goes into building healthier and more inclusive communities. Those who honored CHP include Supervisor Ken Yeager, the City of San Jose, and Assemblymember Ash Kalra. CHP received further recognition from the Commission on the Status of Women of Santa Clara County. People Acting in Community Together recognized Dolores Alvarado for her strong leadership during their annual Leadership Luncheon. Finally, Assemblymember Evan Low nominated CHP for Cal NonProfit’s Nonprofit of the Year award! 

Thank you!

We thank you for your continued support and look forward to working with you in 2018 to create healthier communities through improved health care access, workforce development, quality improvement, and advocacy!
