Description

Provides an intake point for members of the reentry community who need health care, especially for chronic conditions, including mental health disorders. Each patient works with a financial counselor on qualification for free or reduced cost care and prescriptions. New patients see a doctor, get any needed prescriptions written, then choose a convenient MetroHealth clinic and a primary care doctor for ongoing care. Prescriptions will NOT be written until the patient is seen for an appointment (or several appointments, in the case of mental health assessment). A legal assistant on-site assesses legal needs, then assists with applications (e.g. Medicaid, Social Security), appeals of benefit denials, and referrals to Legal Aid services, as well as education regarding legal rights.
