PRIMARY CARE SERVICES - YNHS PROVIDED PRIMARY CARE SERVICES TO NEARLY 29,000 CHILDREN, ADULTS AND SENIORS IN 2019 - 146,000 MEDICAL, DENTAL, MENTAL HEALTH, WIC, AND SOCIAL SERVICE VISITS. AGENCY STAFF FOCUSED ON PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE CARE THAT LOWERS THE OVERALL POTENTIAL COST OF CARE AND REDUCES THE RISK OF CHRONIC AND LONG TERM DISEASE. 60% OF PRIMARY CARE PATIENTS HAD INCOMES BELOW 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ($24,600 FOR A FAMILY OF 4), AND OVER 4,300 INDIVIDUALS WERE UNINSURED, LOW INCOME RESIDENTS OF YAKIMA COUNTY.

YNHS PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL CARE OUT OF FOUR LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT YAKIMA COUNTY, INCREASING ACCESS FOR UNINSURED AND MEDICAID RESIDENTS WHO HAVE GONE WITHOUT DENTAL CARE FOR MANY YEARS. LAST YEAR, ONE IN FOUR ADULTS SEEN BY YNHS DENTAL PROVIDERS WERE UNINSURED; THE YNHS HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS PROVIDED PROVIDED 3,658 DENTAL VISITS TO PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

HOUSING - YEAR-ROUND, YNHS STAFF PROVIDED PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR 178 INDIVIDUALS IN 108 HOUSEHOLDS LEAVING HOMELESSNESS AND WORKING TOWARD SELF-SUFFICIENCY. IN ADDITION, OUR STAFF PROVIDE MEDICAL RECUPERATIVE CARE THROUGH SIX APARTMENT-STYLE UNITS FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ILL/INJURED BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR HOSPITAL CARE, AND THOSE BEING HOSPITAL DISCHARGED AND NOT WELL ENOUGH TO RETURN TO THE STREETS. 84 PEOPLE RECEIVED RECUPERATIVE CARE (NURSING, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES) FROM THE MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM. THE MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM PROVIDED A SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS TO THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY BY PREVENTING HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS AND RE-ADMISSIONS FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS.
