A Seamless System of Care:
Outreach / Education: QueensCare Health & Faith Partnership (QHFP) - QueensCare Health & Faith Partnership develops healthcare outreach programs with various faith communities (churches, schools and social service agencies). These partnerships with faith-based institutions give the underserved a point of access to healthcare that is both trusted and personal. QHFP Parish Nurses are usually on partnership sites once a week for walk-in visits. In addition, they provide free / low cost immunizations and screenings as well as health education and counseling in each partner community. Primary Care: Clinics and School-Based Care - QueensCare partners with QueensCare Family Clinics (QFC) in operating seven family clinics. QFC provides care to all, regardless of ability to pay. They are an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. School-Based Vision and Dental Care - is provided for middle and elementary school students at LAUSD’s most needy schools, through the Mobile Vision Program and Mobile Dental Clinics. Specialty Care - QueensCare has a panel of physicians in various medical specialties. With the referral of the Chief Medical Officer of QFC, patients can be referred to a specialist for care when medically necessary. Hospitalization - QueensCare has contracted with several local non-profit hospitals to provide hospitalization for patients whose household income qualifies them for the QueensCare program. Patients can be qualified for care by the hospital or can be admitted to the hospital by one of the QueensCare Family Clinics physicians. Pastoral Care - QueensCare’s Pastoral Care Program provides spiritual counseling to patients in the hospital and clinics. Ministers of many faith traditions work directly with doctors and nurses to provide an essential element in whole-person interdisciplinary care. Charitable Grants - QueensCare grants funds each year to other non-profit health care agencies which serve low-income uninsured individuals and families living in L.A. Since its inception, QueensCare has distributed millions in healthcare funding for the benefit of Los Angeles County residents. Eligibility - QueensCare’s Articles of Incorporation require that its funds be spent on people living in Los Angeles County who are uninsured, do not qualify for any governmental healthcare program, and who earn less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Much of the funding is reserved for those living in the Primary and Secondary Service Areas, but some support is available to people in other parts of L.A. County. Collaborative EffortsQueensCare actively seeks collaborative opportunities to develop healthcare programs that address critical needs of the underserved of our community. Collaborations with schools, universities, agencies, foundations and government (local, state and federal) have resulted in many innovative programs.
