Later, we will add mental health and substance abuse treatment clinics, immigration exam clinics, pharmacy services, dental, optometry, podiatry, women’s health services, and other health services in several locations to prevent clients from traveling long distances for value-based care not available in their areas.

  3. To hire two full time providers and two full time support staff for each clinic that are highly skilled, purpose driven, caring, respectful, and culturally competent diverse professionals for each clinic by the end of 2024. Continue staff development programs, recruitment and training of new hires, and offering competitive compensations and benefits to retain staffing at all levels by the end of 2024 and onwards to meet the increasing healthcare demands for diverse clients.

To identify and establish partnerships with other non-profit agencies, for-profit agencies, laboratory and diagnostic agencies, pharmacies, myriad specialties, psychological and psychiatric consultants, acute hospitals, rehabilitative, home health, convalescence, and hospice organizations for prompt referrals of our clients as appropriate in the next five years and beyond. To fully accomplish this goal, we would hire one part-time liaison personnel at each location by the end of 2025.
