Building Bridges to Medical Homes for Moms2B and Families at the Schoenbaum Family Center

IMPACT. 1: In 16 clinic days from Oct. 3, 2013 to Feb. 6, there were 218 appointments, 134 fulfilled appointments and 90 unique patients served with a 63 percent show rate. Of those that came to their clinic appointments, 61 percent were children and 39 percent were adults. -- 2. Some of the conditions treated at the clinic include: Respiratory illness; asthma; pre-natal and postpartum checkups; skin, eye and ear infections; flu and fever; and well-child checkups. The clinic has been convenient for those who do not have transportation and convenient for families to address medical concerns before becoming acute, thus avoiding an emergency room visit. -- 3. The presence of the clinic has met the teaching mission of the Rardin Family Practice and the medical needs of families in the Weinland Park neighborhood and the Schoenbaum Family Center.OSU PARTNERS: College of Education and Human Ecology; Schoenbaum Family Center; College of Social Work; OSU Wexner Medical Center- Rardin Family PracticeCOMMUNITY PARTNERS: Nationwide Children's Hospital; Weinland Park Elementary SchoolPRIMARY CONTACT: Jane Wiechel ([email protected]); Fred Miser; Patricia Temple Gabbe ([email protected]); Tara Petty ([email protected])1.
