Approximately 40 human service agencies were involved in the planning of Cincinnati Health Network, representing major providers of medical care, mental health/substance abuse treatment, public assistance, housing, emergency food, shelter, and other social services.

Project Description

Columbus Health Care for the Homeless is a subsidiary of Columbus Neighborhood Health Center (CNHC). CNHC comprises five health centers that have been providing family oriented, affordable, comprehensive primary care for more than 25 years. The HCH philosophy is to ensure that persons who are homeless have access to comprehensive primary health care and mental health and substance abuse services. This is done through a multidisciplinary team at clinical care sites, homeless gathering sites, and shelters.

Columbus HCH services include adult medicine, pediatrics, immunization, OB/GYN, family planning, podiatry, social service, laboratory, dental, vision, WIC, transportation, pharmaceutical, health education, nutrition counseling, outreach, case management, assistance with referrals, linkage to community resources, Columbus Health Department programs, substance abuse, mental health, safe shelter, permanent housing, entitlement, and job services. Substance abuse services include outreach to single men and women who are nonabstinent. These services are provided through an affiliation with The Open Shelter, permanent supportive housing linkage, care coordination, case management, and other stabilizing services that are provided to single men in early recovery.

Crisis intervention and mental health services are provided through a relationship with NETCARE ACCESS. Three other community mental health agencies provide counseling and case management. Other relationships include the Columbus Health Department programs for alcohol and drug abuse treatment, sexual health, HIV/AIDS, breast and cervical cancer prevention, lead poisoning prevention, prenatal services, and home visitation. Additional linkages are established with Southeast Mental Health and Veteran Administration.

Project Description

Samaritan Homeless Clinic is a department of Good Samaritan Hospital. It is co-located within Dayton's only daytime homeless shelter and in walking distance of the emergency night shelters. All integrated, comprehensive, multidisciplinary services are housed on-site. Off-site, the clinic runs an apartment respite (recuperative) care program in the independent living section of an adult care center.

Clinic services include primary care, psychiatry, gynocology, podiatry, dental care, optometry, mental health and substance abuse counseling, life skills education, outreach, transportation, and case management. Laboratory, radiology, OB, referrals, access to emergency room and inpatient care are provided by the hospital and other off-site referrals. Residential substance abuse treatment and mental health case management services are accessed through Crisis Care, which is a Good Samaritan Hospital program.

The Samaritan Homeless Clinic is active in Shelter Providers Committee and Emergency Housing Coalition, a group of some 28 public, private, and not-for-profit agencies that have a major involvement with persons who are homeless and collaborate to maximize services and reduce duplicate efforts. The clinic also participates in the Continuum of Care process, Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, and in several U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Supportive Housing Programs. Patients graduating from the clinic are transitioned to neighborhood health centers with a sliding scale fee. The Combined Health District provides HIV education/testing, TB care/follow-up, and childhood immunizations. The AIDS Resource Center Ohio provides medical care, case management, and housing.
