❤️It is our sincere pleasure to announce that we have partnered with some incredible organizations to offer a higher level of onsite medical services at our Balcones Terrace supportive housing community. Residents are now able to meet once or twice every week with health professionals from CommUnityCare Health Centers for medical checkups, and consultations with a licensed Physician Assistant and medical case managers.
👩⚕️This is a free service to Foundation Communities as part of the Permanent Supportive Housing Health Care Collaborative (PSH/HCC), a coordinated effort in Austin and Travis County aimed at combining Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) with integrated medical and behavioral healthcare.
“Having the CommUnityCare team onsite to work with Foundation Communities’ residents is an absolute game-changer!," said Foundation Communities Director of Supportive Services Sofia Barbato. “Many of our residents have not received medical care for many years and they are reluctant to go to typical clinic settings to reestablish care. Because of this partnership they don’t need to!”
Plans are in place to also offer these medical services to residents of Burleson Studios, which is weeks away from opening. We are grateful to Integral Care, CommUnity Care, Central Health, Ending Community Homelessness Coalition (ECHO), and everyone who helped to create this incredible partnership to care for some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
