FURTHERMORE, IN OUR SERVICE AREA, THE CERVICAL CANCER DEATH RATE IS AT 2.6 PER 100,000 FEMALES, ALSO SURPASSING THE N ATIONAL RATE. FURTHERMORE, MIRRORING COUNTY TRENDS, WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA, LATINAS ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY CERVICAL CANCER DEATH WHEN COMPARED TO THE ENTIRE SPA 2 REGION. WHEN IT COMES TO COLORECTAL CANCER, IN SPA 2’S LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY OF PACOIMA, 57% HAVE RECEIVED A COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING, WHICH IS MORE THAN 10% LESS THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE! PROPOSED SERVICES: BY IMPLEMENTING THE NEVHC AXCS PROJECT, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH JCCC AND ACS, NEVHC WILL UTILIZE PATIENT NAVIGATORS (PN), BOTH AN IN-HOUSE PN AND JCCC PNS, TO ASSIST PATIENTS ACCESS BREAST, CERVICAL AND COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENINGS AND REFERRALS.

FISCAL YEAR 2025 EXPANDED HOURS. - ADDRESS: 1172 NORTH MACLAY AVENUE, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 PROJECT DIRECTOR NAME: KIMBERLY WYARD, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER EMAIL: CONTACT PHONE: (818) 898-1388 EXT. 41620 FAX: (818) 365-7670 EMAIL ADDRESS: KIMWYARD@NEVHC.ORG WEBSITE ADDRESS: WWW.NEVHC.ORG HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM GRANT #: H80CS00139 FUNDING REQUEST: YEAR 1: $325,000; YEAR 2: $325,000 NORTHEAST VALLEY HEALTH CORPORATION (NEVHC), A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC), RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS $650,000 FROM THE HRSA-25-084 EXPANDED HOURS (EH) OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE, AS WELL AS PRESERVE CONTINUITY OF CARE, FOR LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED, PREDOMINANTLY LATINX RESIDENTS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY’S SANTA CLARITA VALLEY (SCV). MORE SPECIFICALLY, EH FUNDS WILL BE USED TO INCREASE OPERATING HOURS AT OUR NEW 12-OPERATORY, 4-EXAM ROOM SCV DENTAL & WELLNESS CENTER (SCVDWC). NEVHC OPENED THE SCVDWC IN 7/2023 AS AN INTERMITTENT SITE, LIMITING ITS SCHEDULE TO EIGHT HOURS PER DAY, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8:00AM – 12:00PM & 1:00PM – 5:00PM, TO ALLOW FOR PATIENT AND STAFF RAMP UP. IN LESS THAN A YEAR, THIS SITE HAS EXCEED BUDGETED PRODUCTIVITY GOALS, AND THERE IS ALREADY PENT UP DEMAND FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICE HOURS IN THE EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS. HOWEVER, UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, INTERMITTENT SITES CANNOT OPERATE MORE THAN 40 HOURS PER WEEK. FORTUNATELY, THE SCVDWC IS EXPECTING TO BECOME FULLY LICENSED BY THE STATE THIS SUMMER; THEREBY, ALLOWING NEVHC TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A PLAN TO ADD APPROXIMATELY 13 OPERATING HOURS AT THIS SITE PER WEEK. BRIEF PROJECT DESCRIPTION: THROUGH OUR EH PROJECT, NEVHC WILL INCREASE THE OPERATING HOURS AT OUR SCVDWC FROM 40 TO APPROXIMATELY 53 HOURS PER WEEK, FOR A TOTAL OF 55.9 ADDITIONAL OPERATING HOURS AT THIS SITE PER MONTH. TO DO SO, OUR ORGANIZATION WILL UTILIZE THE REQUESTED EH FUNDS TO HIRE A 0.37 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) CULTURALLY COMPETENT ADULT MEDICINE PROVIDER, A 0.11 FTE CULTURALLY COMPETENT DENTAL PROVIDER AND BILINGUAL (SPANISH/ENGLISH) SUPPORT STAFF, I.E., MEDICAL ASSISTANTS, REGISTERED DENTAL ASSISTANTS, ETC. THIS SCVDWC EH TEAM WILL ENABLE NEVHC TO ADD 1) A WEEKLY 4-HOUR EVENING (5:00 – 9:00PM) ADULT MEDICINE SESSION, AND 2) NINE (9) HOURS (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM) ON SATURDAYS TO ACCOMMODATE TWO ADDITIONAL ADULT MEDICINE SESSIONS (MORNING & AFTERNOON) EACH WEEK & TWO ADDITIONAL DENTAL SESSIONS (MORNING & AFTERNOON) FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND ADULTS EVERY OTHER WEEK. THESE SESSIONS WILL ALSO INCREASE OUR CAPACITY SERVE SPECIAL POPULATIONS BASED IN THE SCV, PARTICULARLY PERSONS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED: FOR YEARS, THE 300 SQ. MILE SCV HAS EXPERIENCED A LACK OF AFFORDABLE MEDICAL PROVIDERS FOR UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS MEDICAL PROVIDERS WHO ACCEPT MEDI-CAL, PARTICULARLY FOR ADULT MEDICINE AND CHRONIC DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT (HENRY MAYO NEWHALL HOSPITAL, 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT.). FURTHERMORE, THE SCVDWC IS THE ONLY FQHC SITE IN THE SCV THAT PROVIDES FULL-SCOPE DENTISTRY. NOT SURPRISINGLY, WAIT TIMES FOR NEW ADULT MEDICINE APPOINTMENTS AT THE SCVDWC IS 98 DAYS, WHILE THE ACCESS STANDARD IS 10 DAYS. ALSO, OUR THREE OTHER SCV-BASED HEALTH CENTER SITES ARE OVER EMPANELED IN ADULT MEDICINE BY APPROXIMATELY 130%, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR NEVHC TO PRESERVE CONTINUITY OF CARE FOR OUR SCV ADULT PATIENTS. FOR FY 2024, SCVDWC DENTAL UTILIZATION IS AT 112% OF GOAL. PROPOSED SERVICES: THE NEVHC SCVDWC EH TEAM WILL EXPAND ACCESS TO ADULT MEDICINE SERVICES, I.E., COMPREHENSIVE PHYSICAL EXAMS, ADULT WELLNESS EXAMS, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, VACCINATIONS, HIV/STI TESTING AND TREATMENT, ETC., AND DENTISTRY, I.E., EMERGENCY SERVICES, PRIMARY PREVENTION, BASIC DENTAL SERVICES AND ADVANCED DENTAL SERVICES. POPULATION GROUPS TO BE SERVED: THE NEVHC EH PROJECT WILL PROVIDE 700 PATIENTS (602 ADULT MEDICINE PATIENTS & 98 DENTAL PATIENTS) WITH 1,400 HEALTH CARE VISITS (1,204 ADULT MEDICINE VISITS & 196 DENTAL VISITS) EACH YEAR.

RYAN WHITE TITLE III HIV CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING GRANTS - APPLICANT: NORTHEAST VALLEY HEALTH CORPORATION (NEVHC) ADDRESS: 1172 NORTH MACLAY AVENUE, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 CONTACT PHONE: (818) 898-1388 FAX: (818) 365-7670 WEBSITE ADDRESS: WWW.NEVHC.ORG HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM GRANT #: H80CS00139 PROJECT TITLE: FY 2025 RWHAP PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM NEVHC, A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC), RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS $150,000 FROM THE FY 25 RWHAP PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO HELP EXPAND OUR CAPACITY TO SERVE AS A “SAFETY NET” DENTAL PROVIDER FOR LOW-INCOME AND UN-/UNDERSERVED, PREDOMINANTLY LATINO PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV (PLWH) WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF THE WEST SAN FERNANDO VALLEY OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY (WEST VALLEY). MORE SPECIFICALLY, UNDER THE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT CATEGORY, FUNDS WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE DENTAL EQUIPMENT FOR A NEW NEVHC CLINIC SITE IN THE WEST VALLEY, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN BY DECEMBER 2025. SHORT PROJECT DESCRIPTION: TO INCREASE OUR CAPACITY TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE ORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED PLWH, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE WEST VALLEY, NEVHC WILL OPEN THE 13,200 SQ. FT. 13-EXAM ROOM, 5-DENTAL OPERATORY RESEDA HEALTH CENTER (RHC). LOCATED AT 6416 TAMPA AVE, RESEDA, CALIFORNIA 91335, THE RHC WILL TARGET RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE WEST VALLEY ZIP CODES OF 91335 (RESEDA), 91306 (WINNETKA), 91303 (CANOGA PARK) AND 91406 (VAN NUYS), WHICH INCLUDES OVER 1,600 PLWH. ACCORDING TO THE HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM (HCP) GEOCARE NAVIGATOR, OF THE 211,834 RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN OUR FOUR TARGET WEST VALLEY ZIP CODES, 36% (75,209) ARE LOW-INCOME AND 15% (32,341) LIVE IN POVERTY. ALSO, MORE THAN HALF (54%; 114,451) ARE LATINO. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO FQHCS IN THE WEST VALLEY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY-NET DENTISTRY. NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE WEST VALLEY COMMUNITY OF RESEDA IS CONSIDERED TO BE A DENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER SHORTAGE AREA (HRSA, 2024). AS SUCH, OUR NEW NEVHC RHC WILL PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE DENTISTRY, I.E., CLEANING, X-RAY, EXTRACTIONS, CROWN PLACEMENT, FULL DENTURE APPLICATION ON UPPER AND LOWER ARCHES, ETC., AND WILL MARK OUR THIRD DENTAL CLINIC SITE (OUT OF 8 ORGANIZATION WIDE) THAT WILL BE STAFFED WITH CULTURALLY COMPETENT DENTISTS AND BILINGUAL (ENGLISH/SPANISH) SUPPORT STAFF WHO ARE SPECIALLY TRAINED ON THE UNIQUE ORAL HEALTH NEEDS, I.E., GUM DISEASE, CANKER SORES, THRUSH AND OTHER INFECTIONS, RISKS FOR ORAL CANCER, ETC., OF PLWH. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY: THE REQUESTED FY 2025 RWHAP PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FUNDS WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT, I.E., 4 DENTAL CHAIRS, A CUSTOM STERICENTER, 4 CABINET DIVIDERS, ETC., FOR THE 5-OPERATORY RHC DENTAL CLINIC. THIS PROJECT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHEN NEVHC’S CAPACITY TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR PLWH IN OUR SERVICE AREA, L.A. COUNTY’S SAN FERNANDO AND SANTA CLARITA VALLEYS. AS IT STANDS, OUR FLAGHSHIP HIV PRIMARY CARE SITE THAT PROVIDES HIGHLY ACTIVE ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY, MEDICAL CARE COORDINATION, CASE MANAGEMENT, STI TESTING AND TREATMENT, HEPATITIS-C TREATMENT, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUD COUNSELING, ETC., IS IN THE HEART OF VAN NUYS, CA AND HAS NO PHYSICAL SPACE TO ADD A DENTAL CLINIC SUITE. THUS, TO MEET THE DEMAND, OUR SAN FERNANDO HEALTH CENTER DENTAL CLINIC, 10 MILES AWAY, AND TRANSITIONS TO WELLNESS VAN NUYS HEALTH CENTER DENTAL CLINIC OFFER DEDICATED HIV DENTAL SESSIONS. COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHIC STATISTICS AND INTERNAL REPORTS, HOWEVER, INDICATE THAT DEMAND FOR “HIV DENTISTRY” IS MUCH GREATER AMONG OUR WEST VALLEY-BASED PATIENTS. FURTHERMORE, OUR ORGANIZATION IS ANTICIPATING CHANGES IN CALIFORNIA’S HEALTH CARE LANDSCAPE, WHICH MAY LEAD TO FEWER CA DENTISTS ACCEPTING MEDI-CAL OR DENTI-CAL PATIENTS. FUNDING AMOUNT REQUESTED: $150,000.
