Health Care

JWCH recently opened the Center for Community Health – Downtown Los Angeles in cooperation with the Los Angeles County Departments of Mental Health, Public Health and Health Services. In this newly renovated 20,000 square foot clinic, homeless patients receive health and mental health care with an integrated, patient-centered approach. The Center also creates the opportunity for interdisciplinary case conferencing so that mental health care is effectively coordinated with primary care and other services. The two-year project covers the start-up phase, and the grant will augment the services of the existing personnel from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health by supporting a licensed clinical social worker and a master’s level social worker.
