About
The One Stop Clinic operated by Turning Points provides free medical, dental and pharmacy services to the uninsured residents of Manatee County. These services were provided using both paid and volunteer staff. This past year Turning Points has had the paid services of a Medical Director which has improved the quality of services that have been provided while also giving professional support to staff and volunteers. Lack of access to dental care continues to be a critical health care unmet need in our county. Even people who have Medicaid coverage for dental care find it difficult if not impossible to find a provider who will accept Medicaid reimbursement. We target the homeless population and those who are the working poor for priority for service in our dental clinic, with many being referred by local emergency rooms for emergency care. Our team of dentists, hygienists, and assistants are scheduled to provide services daily, with two dentists available Monday through Thursday.Our partnership with Lake Erie College of Medicine (LECOM) is a critical reason we were able to provide the level of health care we have in the past year. Fourth year medical students provide primary care under the supervision of physicians. Having pharmacy students and their supervisors on site daily is a major benefit for clients who receive individualized counseling on medication management, smoking cessation, and weight management. They ensure clients eligible for prescription assistance programs get their requests submitted, enabling them to receive medications at a great discount. We also partnered with Blake Medical Center and utilized the services of their first year residents to provide primary care, also under the supervision of a physician. Along with the educational aspect of our clinic we are also able to provide specialty care due to the willingness of volunteers to serve in the clinic. We have volunteer physicians and nurse practitioners who offered care for gynecology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, dermatology, cardiology, podiatry, and other specialties. We are also fortunate to have started a vision clinic, fully equipped to provide screening for diabetes related eye diseases as well as general eye examinations. Our Hepatitis C clinic, diabetes clinic, and Coumadin clinic assist people with prescription assistance and disease management. In the past fiscal year the Turning Points clinic improved dental health for 1,343 clients and medical health care for 1,108 clients. These clients were seen during a total of 9,596 clinic visits. Licensed health care providers donated services valued at $854,072.75, general staff volunteers donated services worth $319,456.69 and there were $3,234,034.60 worth of donations of equipment and supplies to the clinic.
