Description
- Abstract
- H80CS00347 west oakland health council, DBA west oakland health (WOHC), established in 1967, was one of the first community health centers in california, to provide comprehensive, affordable, compassionate, quality health care services for blacks/african americans. Today, WOHC is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) and designated as a patient centered medical home (PCMH) which addresses social determinants of health, such as: housing, food insecurity and substance disorder. Services include HIV testing and prevention (PREP) and hepatitis C, adult medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, women's health, optometry, oral health, podiatry, and pharmacy. As community demographics changed, WOHC expanded services to latinos and other populations. Annually, WOHC serves approximately 8,000 patients, of whom 66% are black, 23% latino, 5% asian pacific islander (API), and others (including white, non-latino, native american indians, yemenis and ethiopians). Services are available in english, spanish and arabic. 90% of WOHC patients live below the federal poverty line (FPL) or have low-incomes, 72% participate in medi-CAL, 20% medicare, 8% covered california, ppos, private insurance, and immigrant families (non-united states residents) receiving subsidized health care provided by health plans. Building on existing HIV testing and prevention services offered at WOHC, the project will achieve the following outcomes during the 24-month grant period. 1) patients counseled and tested for HIV: increase the number of patients tested from 2,024 (in 18 months) to 6,150 (24 months) through targeted outreach and community education to potential patients at risk for HIV; offering OPT-out testing for HIV to all patients over age 13; educating WOHC providers (physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners) on how to discuss the importance of testing and knowing one's HIV status; offering rapid testing so that counseling for prevention (PREP) or treatment (anti-retroviral therapy - art) can begin immediately; and provision of incentives for enrolling in WOHC HIV testing and services. Outreach will target people who may be at risk for HIV and who may not know their HIV status, including victims of domestic and sexual violence, SEX workers, lgbtq+, people who are homeless, residents of public housing and older adults, ages 40-65 years. 2) patients prescribed PREP: of patients testing negative for HIV who have been assessed as being at high-risk for HIV, 80% will be counseled on advantages of PREP and 30% will be prescribed PREP. WOHC will: train its providers on how to discuss the benefits of using PREP with patients at risk for HIV; identify medication assistance programs to defray cost of PREP for patients without health insurance; and offer community education to increase knowledge of benefits of PREP. 3) patients linked to care and treatment within 30 days of diagnosis for 80% of patients that test positive for HIV. WOHC will hire a provider trained to provide HIV treatment; HIV prevention navigator will link patients to community resources that reduce barriers to utilization of HIV services. 4) focus on the targeted geographic locations: the project will target neighborhoods in east and west oakland in the city of oakland, alameda county, california, includin G ZIP codes having over 24% black residents and overall poverty rates of 16.22% (with 3 ranging from 28.54% to 34.62%). WOHC's service area is 16% blacks and 26% latinx. 5) partnerships: WOHC will partner with alameda county department of public health for collaboration with hosting community outreach and education events; and with apeb (formerly known as aids project of the east BAY), CAL prostitutes education project (CAL PEP), oakland housing authority and domestic violence services for outreach, mutual referrals, and cross training.
