As 2017 draws to an end, we decided to take a look back at some of our favorite moments. Many of these top moments feature our great community members and the new services, staff, and even a building that will expand our excellent care.
See which moments stood out to us from 2017, below!
Opening the New Family Health Clinic Contact Center
If you’ve called the Family Health Clinic over the past few months, you might have noticed that we have a new way of answering our phones. This is part of our new phone system and the new Family Health Clinic Contact Center. We are excited to have opened the Contact Center in 2017 with the goal to give you the best access to your health care and provide fast scheduling assistance.

Celebrating National Health Clinic Week in the Community
This year, National Health Center Week was from August 13-19, and as a health center – we celebrating! This year, we had a Family Health Clinic Meet & Greet at each of our clinics on different says of the week. We hosted a community training that educated adults on how to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to the reality of child sexual abuse. To cap the celebrations, we walked through our communities!

Expanding our Behavioral Health Capabilities through Telehealth
In our continued effort to give the community the highest quality of health services, we gave our patients access to Teleheath, a behavioral health service. Telehealth utilizes technology similar to Skype and Facetime, to improve patient health by allowing interactions between you, the patient, and a healthcare provider, even when the provider is not able to be physically in the room with you.

In August, we held a groundbreaking ceremony at the future home of the Family Health Clinic of Monon! This groundbreaking both kicked-off the beginning of the building process and allowed the community to have a sneak peak at what our future clinic will look like.
