Maternal and Child Health
The Improved Access to Care Program is designed to increase the utilization of maternal and infant health care services among the “high risk” populations of minority and young teen women and their children who receive inadequate or inconsistent health care. Through the use of incentives and transportation vouchers, this program strives to increase regular prenatal care. |
Priorities Selection and Awards ProcessSelection of programs within the Medical Center
as funding priorities for the Foundation is established
through collaboration between ACMC and the Foundation’s
Board of Directors Program Committee. Each year,
the committee accepts proposals After careful review and deliberation from the presentations, the committee then recommends up to four programs to the full board as funding priorities during its April quarterly meeting. Funds raised for established priorities are awarded in June of each year. Progress reports are required at the completion of the grant agreement. |
The
Cancer Navigator Program is designed to assist cancer
patients and their caregivers overcome barriers
to care, understand their disease and treatment
options, ensure that they are promptly connected
to therapeutic activities and expedite their progress
through a complex health care system.
The
Diabetes Management Program provides education and
high-quality, culturally-appropriate, comprehensive
care for patients with diabetes. Utilizing the Chronic
Care Model which promotes the efficient use of staff,
teaming up physicians, certified diabetes educators,
medical assistants and medical students from the
podiatry and optometry disciplines, our goal is
to provide our patients with the tools and information
to effect lifelong health changes as they manage
the effects of this disease.
The
Youth Violence Prevention Program is a partnership
between ACMC’s Highland Campus and Caught
in the Crossfire, an intervention program of Youth
ALIVE!, a state-wide nonprofit organization dedicated
to preventing youth violence. The goals of this
program include preventing retaliatory violence
and reducing the total number of youth injured by
this violence; reducing re-entry into both the hospital
and the criminal justice system; linking youth with
local resources that help them live non-violent
lifestyles; and providing positive peer role models
who promote alternatives to violence.
Women
and Children Services focuses on the prevention
of low birthweight newborns. Low birthweight is
associated with increased incidence of infant deaths.
The most important factor in preventing low birthweight
is early and regular prenatal care.
