Integrated Care
The Integrated Care team is comprised of the Clinical and the Behavioral Health teams with the Outreach team providing extensive support and health education.
Services include:
Clinic
Out-patient and mobile clinics where patients receive all primary care and behavioral healthcare services including diagnostic labs and pharmacy for free.
Behavioral Health
Emotional support services, therapy, and health education in Spanish, inspired and informed by the histories and cultures of our patients.
Outreach
Health education, social health assistance, and digital equity are the focus areas of Outreach, with comprehensive services in each area.
Health Outreach
Our teams mobilize in the community in a variety of ways. Here are just a few.
Mobile Clinics
Mobile clinics serve patients in their home and community settings. The primary focus of the mobile clinics is migrant farmworkers, breaking down the many barriers to accessing healthcare that migrant workers face. Mobile clinics are a replication of the out-patient clinic services, with full integrated care, pharmacy, and lab services.
Care Plans
Community Health Workers certified in the Stanford University Living Health with Chronic Diseases curriculum work with the medical team to create individualized care plans with patients who are living with uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension.
Social Assistance
Vecinos is one of just a few organizations in the region that offers Spanish-language services and, furthermore, a fully bilingual staff. Patients often come to us with needs beyond the normal scope of a health clinic. The Outreach Team helps patients find resources and make connections for all social needs identified, from food insecurity to winter clothing.
