CHARITY CARE
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2012, HOI physicians and staff provided charity care to the underserved in our communities worth more than $800,000. HOI staff members are also engaged as volunteers in numerous community-strengthening capacities. Activities ranged from the chief operating officer’s volunteer work at Taller San Jose, which provides unemployed, unskilled young adults who have gotten off track in life with the job training and
life skills necessary to support themselves
and their families; to staff members involved in neighborhood watch, senior centers and youth organizations. HOI personnel have served as staff for a summer camp for teens at risk; traveled to Haiti and Kenya to provide medical care; gone
to New Orleans for rebuilding projects; and organized Arthritis Foundation fundraising.
On September 28, 2012, HOI celebrated another first when HOI CEO Carlos Prietto, MD, provided the first orthopedic eConsult to the Share Our Selves (SOS) Wellness Center in Santa Ana.
The clinic reaches the underserved community that has few to no options for affordable health care. The clinic focuses on improving access to care, eliminating health disparities, and reducing the number of emergency department visits for primary care needs. Care is free and includes health screenings for uninsured students and their families at the charter school El Sol Science and Arts Academy in Santa Ana. The eConsult marked the beginning of our commitment to providing orthopedic services to the SOS-El Sol Wellness Center’s families.
HOI medical and administrative leaders intend to broaden inroads they have made into improving the health of Orange County’s most vulnerable populations.
