MARILLAC OPENED ITS DOORS ON MAY 2, 1988 AND HAS REMARKABLY GROWN IN SIZE AND SCOPE WHILE CONSTANTLY SEARCHING FOR AND ADOPTING PROMISING AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO HEALTH CARE. THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATION ARE MORE COMPLEX, CHRONIC, AND POPULATION-BASED THAN THE LARGER POPULATION. OUR HEALTH SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS THROUGH A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM MEMBER APPROACH. OUR TEAMS PROVIDE SEAMLESS, PATIENT-CENTERED CARE, WITH THE PATIENT'S GOALS, CULTURAL BELIEFS AND CHOICES GUIDING HIS OR HER CARE. MARILLAC PATIENTS ARE EMPANELLED TO INDIVIDUAL PROVIDERS TO ASSURE BOTH CONTINUITY OF CARE AND WARM, TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS. A WELCOMING TEAM OF ELIGIBILITY SPECIALISTS ENROLL PATIENTS IN MARILLAC AND DETERMINES THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR OUR SLIDING FEE SCALE (SFS), WHICH IS UPDATED ANNUALLY TO ALIGN WITH FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. THE SFS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE PATIENT'S INCOME AND HOUSEHOLD SIZE.
