About
THE SUMMIT COMMUNITY CARE CLINIC WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1993 AS A ONE-NIGHT-A-WEEK WALK-IN CLINIC STAFFED ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS AND MANAGED BY SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH. THE CARE CLINIC WAS FOUNDED TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR PRIMARY AND PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED IN SUMMIT COUNTY, COLORADO. IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION THE CARE CLINIC PROVIDED 294 VISITS. IN 2005, THE CARE CLINIC BECAME ITS OWN 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, AND IN 2006, THE CARE CLINIC MOVED INTO ITS CURRENT FACILITY IN THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, LOCATED BESIDE ST ANTHONY SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER IN FRISCO. WITH THE EXPANDED CLINIC SPACE, THE CARE CLINIC WAS ABLE TO ADD BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (2006) AND ORAL HEALTH (2007) TO ITS MENU OF SERVICES.SINCE ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS IN 1993, THE CARE CLINIC HAS GROWN INTO ONE OF THE MOST WELL-RESPECTED SAFETY NET CLINICS IN THE STATE OF COLORADO. THE CARE CLINIC PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING SERVICES TO THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN SUMMIT AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES: PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE IN THE FORM OF SAME DAY OR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS; ORAL HEALTH MAINTENANCE AND TREATMENT; BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES; REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES; UNIVERSAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL SCREENING AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT; SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDING PRIMARY; ORAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH; PATIENT NAVIGATION SERVICES; CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT; AND COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL-WIDE SCREENING EVENTS. THE CARE CLINIC USES AN INTEGRATED MODEL OF CARE DELIVERY.IN 2018, THE CARE CLINIC SERVED 8,388 UNDUPLICATED PATIENTS AND PROVIDED OVER 31,460 VISITS IN PRIMARY CARE, ORAL HEALTH OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AT THE MAIN CARE CLINIC OFFICE, IN THE SIX SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS AND THROUGH DENTAL SCREENINGS IN SUMMIT, PARK AND LAKE COUNTIES. PRIMARY CARE VISITS REPRESENT OVER 39% OF TOTAL VISITS WHILE 36% OF VISITS ARE FOR DENTAL SERVICES AND 20% OF VISITS ARE FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. THE REMAINING 5% ARE FOR ENABLING SERVIES LIKE HEALTH EDUCATION. APPROXIMATELY 62% OF CARE CLINIC PATIENTS EARN LESS THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. AMONG THE CARE CLINIC'S KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2018 WAS THE AUGUST OPENING OF A SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CLINIC IN FAIRPLAY, COLORADO. THIS CLINIC WAS A WELCOME ADDITION TO THE PARK COUNTY LANDSCAPE GIVEN THAT COMMUNITY'S STATUS AS A HEALTH DESERT WITH NO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND ONLY VERY LIMITED ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DENTAL PROVIDERS. IN OCTOBER 2018, THE CARE CLINIC LAUNCHED A COMPREHENSIVE DIALETICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (DBT) PROGRAM AT SUMMIT HIGH SCHOOL. THIS PROGRAM WAS CREATED TO ADDRESS A COMMUNITY-WIDE GAP IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR ADOLESCENTS STEPPING DOWN FROM HOSPITALIZATION OR NEEDING A HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE TO AVOID HOSPITALIZATION. TO DATE, TWO COHORTS HAVE COMPLETED THE DBT PROGRAM AND INITIAL EVALUATION RESULTS DEMONSTRATE POSITIVE RESULTS AND COMMUNITY RESPONSE. THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES A RIGOROUS EVALUATION COMPONENT THAT IS EXPECTED TO LAY A FOUNDATION FOR REPLICABILTY IN OTHER COMMMUNITIES. THE CARE CLINIC ALSO LAUNCHED A NEW COLORADO MEDICAL DENTAL INTEGRATION (COMDI) PROJECT IN 2018, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF A DENTAL EXAM ROOM WITHIN THE MEDICAL CLINIC. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, PREVENTATIVE AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES, EXAMS, FLUORIDE, SEALANTS AND CLEANINGS OF ALL KINDS, INTERIM THERAPEUTIC RESTORATIONS (ITR) AND SILVER DIAMINE FLORIDE (SDF) ARE PROVIDED IN THE MEDICAL SETTING. THE CARE CLINIC CONTINUES TO PROMOTE DIRECT-TO-EMPLOYER HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS, ALLOWING EMPLOYERS TO OFFER HIGH QUALITY PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE TO EMPLOYEES AT SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS SMALLER GROUPS AND EMPLOYERS TO OFFER A HEALTHCARE OPTION TO ITS EMPLOYEES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CREATING AN ADDITIONAL REVENUE STREAM FOR THE CARE CLINIC. THE CARE CLINIC IS ALSO A KEY PARTNER IN THE PEAK HEALTH ALLIANCE, AN INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY-WIDE APPROACH TO NEGOTIATE REDUCED HEALTH CARE PRICES FOR PARTICIPATING ENTITIES.
