To serve as the central focus for health and safety issues in Fair Haven and to enlist local support in an effort to solve these challenges.
 
To keep policy making decision power within the Fair Haven community.
Background Fair Haven Community Health Center (FHCHC) began over 40 years ago by community members and volunteers who saw the need for health services in the Fair Haven neighborhood.  Under the leadership of Alliance for Latin American Progress, the small group of volunteer nurses, doctors, students and community members provided health services at local elementary school two evenings a week. In August 1971, Fair Haven Clinic opened for adults and children on a walk-in basis for minor ailments, immunizations, and family planning. During the first year, the clinic provided 500 visits with an original budget of $5,000 from the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven.

From those modest beginnings, the clinic grew into a community health center providing life-long primary care to the Fair Haven community. We have 8 sites in the community including: our main site on Grand Avenue, a new site recently opened on Grand Avenue, our five school-based health centers (Clinton Avenue, John S. Martinez, Fair Haven K-8, Riverside Academy, Wilbur Cross High School) and Bella Vista Elderly Housing Complex.

 

FHCHC serves over 16,000 patients with over 60,000 visits a year. We offer a full range of services including: primary care, urgent care, prenatal care, family planning services, parenting services, well-baby care, nutritional counseling, diabetes management, asthma management, behavioral health counseling, substance abuse counseling, social services, HIV case management, health care enrollment, and dental services. Throughout the past 40 years, FHCHC has served several generations of families and continues to maintain the family model of care as a central focus for providing primary care to the medically underserved and uninsured in the Fair Haven community.

 
Impact
Fair Haven Community Health Center provides person-centered, high quality medical care in a warm, caring and culturally sensitive environment. In the past year we have:
  • Began work to expand our dental care space to accommodate the increased need of our patients.
  • Added Dermatology services
  • Partnered with IRIS to provide newly arrived immigrants with their first official medical evaluations, and ongoing follow up care as needed.
  • Expanded our substance abuse treatment program (including medical and behavioral health care)
  • Launched a  new Behavioral Health Program, supporting those with deportation-based anxieties, including a partnership with Junta.
  • Expanded our Smiles 2 Go mobile dental program to eight locations, including 7 New Haven school-based health centers.
  • Expanded our care in the East Haven Community by opening school-based health centers in two East Haven schools starting Fall 2017.
  • Raised the minimum wage to $15/hour for all hourly staff.
Needs

Like most Community Health Centers, Fair Haven Community Health works hard to meet the needs of our patients, despite limited resources and high competition for bilingual medical and administrative staff. Our financial priorities include debt elimination, infrastructure improvements to our aging historic buildings, medical equipment to provide critical services, and salaries for mid-level staff who provide patient navigation, education and support. Funds are also required for capital expansions in East Haven and in New Haven. The need in this immediate area far outpaces our immediate space and staff.

CEO Statement

What makes FHCHC unique is not simply the number of patients we see —although on any given day, over 450 people walk through our doors at any one of our 11 sites , including 7 school based health centers, Bella Vista, two sites on Grand Avenue and our East Haven health center. What makes us unique is the high quality care provided by our dedicated our staff, and the personal relationships established between our patients and their caregivers. Of the 4,000 babies our midwives have delivered over the past 40 years, we know that those first ‘babies’ are entering their 40s, and they have their own children, some of whom we have delivered and we are caring for their babies - their mothers are in their 60s and their grandparents in their 80s. The Fair Haven Community Health Center cares for the entire 4 generations of families—from giving shots, to providing nutrition support through our WIC program and our home visiting programs of Nurturing Families and Minding the Baby, to providing school physicals, to seeing patients at our school based health centers, to helping patients plan families and stay healthy.

We also are caring for over 1,000 patients with diabetes, caring for the patients who need our help when they are sick, and especially those who suffer with the chronic problems of asthma, diabetes, hypertension, HIV and AIDS. We help new families with healthcare and by providing outreach, interpreting and social services.

People often ask, what makes a federally qualified health center, a community health center? There are many answers, including the fact that FHCHC provides the highest quality and comprehensive primary care to thousands of families, regardless of their ability to pay—in a setting that is accessible and affordable. One other essential requirement is the significance of a Board of Directors that helps to keep the moral compass of the health center and requires that over 51% of the Board must be patients of the FHCHC.

 
Board Chair Statement

FHCHC was founded on the belief that all patients deserve high quality healthcare that is culturally relevant. The clinic never turns anyone away. Our staff is always available to provide excellent care. The clinic started in a small space in the Fair Haven neighborhood that has grown to see over 350 patients a day at any of our 8 sites. FHCHC has served several generations of families and continues to maintain the family model of care as a central focus for providing primary care to the medically underserved and uninsured in the Fair Haven community.

When I was asked to become the Chair of the Board of Directors, I was thrilled to be part of a community of people who truly demonstrate compassionate and culturally appropriate health care. As Board of Directors, we work hard to create policies that align with the vision and the mission the clinic. As a parent, it gives me great hope for the future of our community that we’re continuing to build a health center that provides high quality of care, treating patients in culturally relevant ways to help eliminate health disparities in the City of New Haven.

Programs
Patient-Centered Medical Home
Description

 

A Medical Home is a health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, their personal clinicians, and when appropriate, the patient’s family. The licensed independent providers (Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse Midwives, Physicians Assistants) that work at Fair Haven Community Health Center, at both our main building at 374 and at our newest location at 50 Grand Avenue, offer primary care services so that patients have ongoing and consistent access to health services. Care is facilitated by patient registries, information technology, health information exchange, and other means to assure that patients get appropriate care when and where they need and want it in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner.

Patients without a Medical Home may rely on emergency rooms or receive sporadic and costly health services. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, FHCHC offers a wide variety of affordable quality health programs available thru a sliding fee scale, based on income and family size. FHCHC also accepts Medicaid and most commercial insurance.

One of FHCHC’s strengths as a medical home is the ability to provide continuity of care when clinicians identify health issues. Clinicians have the capacity to refer patients to programs and services within FHCHC to meet many chronic health conditions. This enables the patient to return for follow-up care at a location that is familiar to them thus increasing the probability of follow-thru and positive health outcomes.

School-Based Health Centers
Description

We are pioneers in bringing health care directly to teens. Fair Haven Community Health Center began with The Body Shop at Wilbur Cross High School in 1982, the first school-based health center in Connecticut.  We operate five school-based health centers (SBHC) in New Haven--Clinton Avenue, Fair Haven K-8, John S.Martinez, Riverside Academy, Wilbur Cross High School.

Advanced Practice Registered Nurses provide complete medical services including physical exams and immunizations at the SBHCs. Pediatricians also see patients, and social work and substance abuse counseling services are available. The staff at each SBHC work together to conduct support groups for students areas such as self-esteem, nutrition and fitness, substance use, bereavement, and HIV/AIDS. Our office managers help students schedule appointments to ensure access to healthcare. The State of Connecticut Department of Health, through the New Haven Board of Education, provides financial support for SBHCs.

FHCHC also provides dental services to our SBHCs. The Smiles 2 Go Dental Program offers preventative care (cleanings, exams, x-rays) and basic restorative (filings, extractions, pain relief) services to the Fair Haven community with a focus on children's dental care.

Maternal and Child Health Programs
Description

Fair Haven Community Health Center offers numerous maternal and child health programs and services. Women’s health care, including prenatal care, is provided as part of comprehensive primary healthcare at FHCHC. An interdisciplinary team of certified nurse midwives, physicians, social workers, nutritionists, and outreach workers provide comprehensive prenatal care. The family-focused approach to prenatal care combines the prenatal visit with childbirth education, group discussion, stress reduction, meditation exercises, and a hospital tour. Expecting mothers and their partners have their monthly health education class and prenatal check-up all in a single visit. In 2015, we opened a new location at 50 Grand Avenue that is home to our prenatal and maternal care practice.

The Nurturing Families Network program at FHCHC offers home visiting to first time parents and parenting groups to parents of children from birth to age five in the Fair Haven Community.

The focus of home visiting is on child development, improving health, teaching parenting skills, and strengthening the family. Parenting groups focus on improving parenting skills, teaching child development, and demonstrating activities to help children grow. Children’s groups providing educational activities are offered at the same time so parents do not need to arrange childcare.

Fair Haven’s early literacy program, Reach Out and Reach, encourages healthy child development and an early love of reading. Children receive an age and language appropriate book at each well child visit from 6 months to five years of age. Parents are encouraged to share these books with their children in any capacity they are able. With additional contributions of new and gently used books from friends, volunteers, the Connecticut ROR Coalition, and New Haven Reads, we are able to offer a book to every child who comes to FHCHC.

Chronic Disease Management
Description

FHCHC has exceptional chronic disease management programs for our patients. Fair Haven is an active participant in the federal government’s Chronic Disease Care Management Model and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), which focuses on reducing health disparities. This health care model provides care beyond the one-on-one interaction between the patient and the clinician, including support with health education, self-management, changes in the health care community, support for obtaining medications, and a computerized tracking system to support the team’s efforts. Program highlights include:

Diabetes Prevention Program: The families of Fair Haven patients who have metabolic abnormalities are invited to participate in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). DPP is a 16-week intensive lifestyle program that focuses eating right and exercising. Following 45 minutes of education, the families have individual meetings with a medical provider. The group then participates in an hour of supervised physical education.

Smoking Cessation: Our nurse educator helps patients identify the relationship between stress levels and their desire to smoke by encouraging patients to monitor how they feel when they smoke. The nurse educator sees patients after their appointments with clinicians or makes separate appointments specifically for smoking cessation. Patients are given the option of a variety of methods, including nicotine patches and gum to help quit smoking.

HIV/AIDS Care: With Ryan White Care Act funding, FHCHC provides a broad range of preventive and clinical services. HIV medical case managers ensure that our patients have adequate support to address the family and environmental stressors that may affecting patients’ care. Specific services include: counseling and testing, implemented universally in accordance with CDC recommendations, and comprehensive primary care and adherence services provided to more than 100 individuals living with HIV or AIDS.

Program Comments
CEO Comments

Despite the increased availability of medical insurance provided through the Affordable Care Act, many patients continue to struggle with lack of access to quality medical care. For some this is because of large deductibles on insurance policies, for others it’s because insurance remains out of their reach. Unfortunately, fewer than 50% of CT specialists participate in Medicaid, creating significant barriers to care for a large percentage of CT residents.

At Fair Haven Community Health Center, we are creating collaborations and innovative programs that allow us to continue to address these issues of access. Providing such resources is costly and we are dependent on the generosity of our donors to support these efforts.

CEO Comments
Providing high quality care to our underserved population regularly challenges our bottom line. Our biggest problem at present is that patient demand has outgrown our physical space, and the space that we have is in need of significant maintenance. We are in the process of expanding current locations, expanding to new locations and are exploring ways to fund our physical upkeep.
