Celebrating the <strong>Cycle</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Care</strong><br />

A Message from the Chair and President & CEO<br />

<strong>Unity</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Care</strong>, Inc., (<strong>Unity</strong>) is the District <strong>of</strong> Columbia’s largest nonpr<strong>of</strong>it health and social services<br />

organization. We address the physical and emotional well-being <strong>of</strong> the District’s most vulnerable<br />

residents.<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> the adults, adolescents, children, and infants we serve live at or below the poverty level and were<br />

doing so even when the nation’s economy was flourishing. In recent years, with the economic downturn,<br />

everyone has had to make due with less — a prospect that is significantly harder for those who start with<br />

so little.<br />

Despite the challenging economic times, we at <strong>Unity</strong> formulated a plan to accommodate the increased<br />

need for health care. We expanded our services with new facilities and treatment options. In 2009, our<br />

patients made 535,500 visits to <strong>Unity</strong> health centers, which is a 24 percent increase from 2007.<br />

We were able to increase our capacity for giving care largely because <strong>of</strong> our significant and diverse group<br />

<strong>of</strong> Partners in Caring — nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations, corporations, foundations, government agencies and<br />

individuals who support our work. Together, <strong>Unity</strong> and our partners create a cycle <strong>of</strong> care that flows from<br />

funder to provider and from provider to patient.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> our partners — because <strong>of</strong> the cycle <strong>of</strong> care — <strong>Unity</strong> is serving patients in every ward in<br />

the District. Without <strong>Unity</strong>, some <strong>of</strong> these patients would frequent emergency rooms, which is the<br />

most costly way to provide medical care. Many would not have any access to quality, comprehensive,<br />

affordable health care.<br />

The support <strong>of</strong> our Partners in Caring makes it possible for us to serve our patients. They share in our<br />

efforts; they are part <strong>of</strong> our successes.<br />

Your support <strong>of</strong> <strong>Unity</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Care</strong> will help us maintain the cycle <strong>of</strong> care so we can continue to meet the<br />

health needs <strong>of</strong> the District’s most medically vulnerable individuals and families.<br />

Maximizing Resources and Expanding <strong>Care</strong>:<br />

Highlights <strong>of</strong> 2008–09<br />

Like individuals and organizations across America, <strong>Unity</strong> has had to<br />

do more with less in recent years. We have improved our efficiency<br />

— and expanded our partnerships — so we would not lose ground<br />

in providing health care to the most medically vulnerable people<br />

residing in our nation’s capital.<br />

<strong>Unity</strong> has continued to provide care, expanding the number <strong>of</strong><br />

patients served and patient visits throughout 2008 and 2009. We’ve<br />

been able to do so because we work closely with foundations,<br />

corporations, other nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations, government agencies,<br />

and individuals to find the resources we need to serve our patients.<br />

Together, <strong>Unity</strong> and our partners create a cycle <strong>of</strong> care — from our<br />

Partners in Caring to our health care delivery teams to our patients<br />

— that provides the support for <strong>Unity</strong> to <strong>of</strong>fer quality, comprehensive<br />

health care and medication to everyone who walks through our<br />

doors, regardless <strong>of</strong> his or her ability to pay. It is this cycle, this joint<br />

effort, that allows us to effectively treat our patients’ health care<br />

needs and, in the process, help them dramatically improve their lives.<br />

Our patients<br />

Fifty-seven percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>Unity</strong> patients live at or below the poverty<br />

level. Another 11 percent have incomes up to twice the poverty level.<br />

These individuals and families receive care on a sliding fee scale<br />

based on their incomes. Many patients pay nothing at all for their<br />

care. Without <strong>Unity</strong>’s grassroots approach to linking individuals and<br />

families with medical care in their neighborhoods, most would have<br />

no health care options except the emergency room.<br />

Our providers<br />

<strong>Unity</strong>’s health care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals include providers, nurses, certified<br />

medical assistants, specialists, case managers, social service<br />

providers, nutritionists, and others who are dedicated to their<br />

patients. These well-educated clinicians <strong>of</strong>fer the same care that<br />

well-insured patients receive in private practices. They are highly<br />

trained in the health challenges facing economically disadvantaged<br />

communities, as well as in the medical and educational tools to<br />

address them. Moreover, they work closely as a team, so all patients<br />

receive comprehensive, coordinated care that addresses their current<br />

concerns, as well as their long-term needs.<br />

Our promise<br />

<strong>Unity</strong> patients face a range <strong>of</strong> health problems — including poor<br />

nutrition, high rates <strong>of</strong> hypertension and diabetes, homelessness,<br />

substance abuse, and high rates <strong>of</strong> HIV/AIDS — that are all too<br />

common in disenfranchised urban communities throughout our<br />

nation. Our patients face significant barriers to care. Every day, teams<br />

<strong>of</strong> people at <strong>Unity</strong> health centers find ways to address their patients’<br />

concerns, overcome barriers, and help them live more fulfilling lives<br />

through better health. Every patient who walks through <strong>Unity</strong>’s<br />

doors receives respectful, high-quality care, and every day, we find<br />

new ways to help patients work through the medical, administrative,<br />

personal, and cultural issues that they must negotiate to improve or<br />

maintain their health.<br />

Highlights <strong>of</strong> 2008–09 include:<br />

• Opening a comprehensive dental clinic within the Federal City-<br />

CCNV Homeless Primary <strong>Care</strong> Service Site. This dental treatment<br />

center, one <strong>of</strong> the first <strong>of</strong> its kind in the nation, provides the<br />

District’s homeless men and women with comprehensive oral<br />

health services. It was made possible, in part, by support from<br />

<strong>Care</strong>First BlueCross BlueShield.<br />

• Establishing a Re-Entry <strong>Health</strong> Center that provides health care<br />

and social services to District residents who have been recently<br />

released from correctional settings. This center provides critical<br />

care that helps these individuals re-enter their communities. This<br />

center is supported though the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation<br />

LIPP Grant; Consumer <strong>Health</strong>; Abel Foundation; Meyers<br />

Foundation; the Cafritz Foundation; and Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />

HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD, and TB Administration (HAHSTA) Ryan<br />

White Part B.<br />

• Fully implementing an electronic health record system and an<br />

electronic practice management system at all 26 <strong>of</strong> our health<br />

facilities. Electronic record keeping improves the effectiveness,<br />

efficiency, safety, and quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>Unity</strong>’s care. It also enhances our<br />

capacity to collect, monitor, and use data, which is critical for<br />

quality assurance and quality improvement activities.<br />

• Assuming management <strong>of</strong> the former Ambulatory <strong>Care</strong> Center<br />

on the grounds <strong>of</strong> DC General Hospital. Adding to our network<br />

<strong>of</strong> community health centers, <strong>Unity</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Care</strong> at DC General<br />

provides primary health care and specialty services.<br />

• Hosting the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Child Watch visit at the<br />

Upper Cardozo <strong>Health</strong> Center. A group <strong>of</strong> prominent Hollywood<br />

women — Jessica Alba, Regina King, Keri Russell, Jurnee<br />

Smollett, Ali Wentworth, and others — joined CDF President<br />

Marian Wright Edelman and the District <strong>of</strong> Columbia’s First Lady<br />

Michelle Fenty on a children’s health reform Child Watch Day. The<br />

visitors held a roundtable discussion with health care providers<br />

and working families from across the country to discuss the<br />

struggles they face in accessing quality affordable health care for<br />

their children.<br />

Incomes <strong>of</strong> <strong>Unity</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Care</strong> Patients<br />

In 2009, <strong>Unity</strong> provided care for more<br />

than 81,000 men, women, and children<br />

who made more than 535,500 visits to<br />

our facilities. This represents a nearly<br />

24 percent increase in visits compared<br />

with 2007. Because the number <strong>of</strong><br />

Improving Family <strong>Health</strong> with We Can!<br />

On Wednesday nights, families visit <strong>Unity</strong>’s Upper Cardozo <strong>Health</strong><br />

Center to learn how to take charge <strong>of</strong> their health. The Wednesday<br />

evening classes are modeled on the We Can! program, a curriculum<br />

developed by the National Institutes <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> (NIH) to address pediatric<br />

obesity through community intervention.<br />

We Can! — Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition — is a<br />

national child obesity prevention program. It is designed to teach<br />

parents and other caregivers about nutrition, exercise, and other<br />

aspects <strong>of</strong> a healthy life. The classes involve the entire family with<br />

activities geared toward adults and children ages 7–13.<br />

Upper Cardozo became a We Can! site in 2008, and since then,<br />

Physician Assistants Jessica Wallace, Brianna Katz, and Claire Rosché,<br />

as well as other staff members, have adapted it to suit the needs <strong>of</strong><br />

Upper Cardozo’s patients.<br />

“The NIH model is a curriculum <strong>of</strong> four classes, with each class<br />

focusing on a different topic related to pediatric obesity, such as<br />

eating more fruits and vegetables, increasing exercise, and decreasing<br />

screen time, including television, computer, and video games,”<br />

Wallace explains. “We started in 2008 with a four-week series, but<br />

when it was over, people wanted to keep coming.”<br />

Wallace and her team responded to patients’ requests by expanding<br />

the We Can! program and making it an ongoing series. Participants<br />

can come for one class or many, they can attend consecutive weeks<br />

or periodic sessions — and they always will learn something and have<br />

a good time. Some <strong>Unity</strong> families have attended for a full year.<br />

The team also expanded the age range for participation. While the<br />

original NIH curriculum targets 7–13 year olds, the <strong>Unity</strong> version is<br />

for 5–15 year olds. The <strong>Unity</strong> program also talks to parents about<br />

their own health and their struggles with weight so participants can<br />

take a family-centered approach to being healthier.<br />

Engaging families, measuring results, and celebrating<br />

success<br />

The Wednesday evening sessions are designed to be fun and active<br />

for the entire family. Each evening focuses on an educational theme,<br />

such as the sugar content in beverages or ways to get more exercise.<br />

On a typical Wednesday night, participants will break into groups by<br />

age to explore the theme. Adults might have a conversation or see a<br />

cooking demonstration, while the kids do arts and crafts projects or<br />

puzzles that build on the key ideas.<br />

Or, the evening might include a grocery store scavenger hunt. Children<br />

and their parents will have different activities, but they all will<br />

be learning how to read food labels and make healthy choices.<br />

“The approach we are using makes sense for our patients because<br />

it can take a while for ideas and new habits to set in,” Wallace says.<br />

“It’s easy to tell families to eat more vegetables and be more active,<br />

but there obviously are barriers to making those changes. We move<br />

beyond the script and engage in a discussion about how to do it.”<br />

4 unity health care


The <strong>Unity</strong> program provides a supportive group environment and<br />

shows families how to introduce new habits over time. For example,<br />

they might change from whole to 2 percent milk and then eventually<br />

try skim milk. The group members also support each other through a<br />

range <strong>of</strong> life events.<br />

“Our families also go through a lot <strong>of</strong> instability that makes it temporarily<br />

hard to stay on track,” Wallace adds. “If someone loses their<br />

job, we work through it with them.”<br />

Wallace knows what works with participating families because<br />

the staff tracks results. While not every person has lost weight,<br />

Wallace and her team have seen increases in health behaviors across<br />

the board.<br />

Many participants have made lifestyle changes. For example, on<br />

average, adult participants reported drinking 47 percent less soda<br />

while eating 36 percent more fruit and 40 percent more vegetables.<br />

Adults’ average minutes <strong>of</strong> exercise activity increased 57 percent<br />

while hours <strong>of</strong> television watching decreased 29 percent. Children<br />

reported similar changes — an average 62 percent decrease in soda<br />

consumption, 69 percent increase in vegetable consumption, and 30<br />

percent increase in daily physical activity time.<br />

In addition, some participants made dramatic transformations in<br />

their weight. On average, child participants maintained stable body<br />

mass index (BMI) percentiles, avoiding a trend <strong>of</strong> weight gain over<br />

time. Some individual children lost weight as appropriate. Average<br />

adult BMI averages decreased slightly, but some adult participants<br />

lost more than 40 pounds. One diabetic participant improved her<br />

health enough to manage her diabetes without medication.<br />

Based on these successes, <strong>Unity</strong>’s We Can! program staff was invited<br />

to the White House to meet with First Lady Michelle Obama to<br />

discuss the program’s approach to preventing childhood obesity.<br />

In addition, the National Association <strong>of</strong> Community <strong>Health</strong> Centers<br />

(NACHC) presented the 2009 Innovative Research in Primary <strong>Care</strong><br />

Award to Wallace, Katz, and Rosché. The award recognized the<br />

success <strong>of</strong> We Can! in connecting with patients, improving health<br />

knowledge, and encouraging behavior changes that promote good<br />

health.<br />

“We applaud <strong>Unity</strong> for focusing on long-term changes that will<br />

improve their patients’ health and quality <strong>of</strong> life,” says Tom Van<br />

Coverden, president and CEO, NACHC. “They are using data to track<br />

progress <strong>of</strong> their We Can! participants and identify the approaches<br />

that have the greatest success — and then implementing the program<br />

in ways that make it inviting and effective for their patients.”<br />

Keeping up with demand<br />

<strong>Unity</strong>’s We Can! program expanded in response to what patients<br />

wanted — a longitudinal program instead <strong>of</strong> a four-week curriculum.<br />

As a result, each week’s activities have to be different, so Wallace<br />

and her team search for innovative approaches to teach about<br />

healthy eating and active living as well as partners who can add<br />

something new.<br />

For example, the Sister to Sister Foundation, which focuses on<br />

women’s heart health, supported a series <strong>of</strong> four classes that<br />

culminated in a Bike for the Heart event in DC. The organization<br />

donated healthy snacks, coordinated speakers on preventing heart<br />

disease, provided tickets and transportation to a Washington Mystics<br />

game, and gave scooters and helmets to children who completed the<br />

classes and participated in the biking event.<br />

“And even the Mystics game was an opportunity to learn about<br />

healthy eating,” Wallace recalls. “We chose the healthiest sporting<br />

event food and talked about how to find the healthiest options<br />

wherever you are.”<br />

Dental <strong>Care</strong> that Changes Lives<br />

<strong>Unity</strong>’s state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art dental clinic, which opened in summer<br />

2008, provides comprehensive care to the DC residents who are least<br />

likely to have access to dental care: homeless men and women. The<br />

facility, created with an $80,000 donation from <strong>Care</strong>First BlueCross<br />

BlueShield, is located at the Federal City-CCNV homeless service site.<br />

This site, the largest emergency shelter in the United States, houses<br />

more than 14,000 men and women.<br />

All <strong>of</strong> the patients the clinic serves are homeless. They include individuals<br />

sleeping on the street and in shelters, living in group homes,<br />

re-entering society after prison and living in transitional housing,<br />

and participating in alcohol and drug rehabilitation clinics.<br />

“People initially come for emergency care because they are in pain,”<br />

explains <strong>Unity</strong> provider Corey Murray, DDS. “But after I start working<br />

with them, they become loyal to their care, and they return to see<br />

me.” Murray runs the clinic and is its sole provider.<br />

In a typical day, Murray sees 16 to 20 patients at his two dental<br />

stations. He treats abscesses; performs cleanings, preventative treatment,<br />

and oral surgery (extractions); and fits and provides dentures.<br />

Physical care and life-changing benefits<br />

For many patients, the clinic provides their first dental care in a<br />

decade. “Patients are risking chronic infections if they don’t have<br />

proper care,” Murray says. “If a patient’s gums aren’t healthy, he or<br />

she is at greater risk for heart attacks, loss <strong>of</strong> teeth, and high blood<br />

pressure. Our patients also are likely to have compromised immune<br />

systems, so they are more susceptible to chronic and opportunistic<br />

infections.”<br />

But the health benefits <strong>of</strong> dental care are only the beginning. Murray<br />

also tells stories about patients who receive what he terms fullmouth<br />

rehabilitation — and then turn their lives around.<br />

“I have patients who are unable to get jobs that involve interacting<br />

with people because they are missing teeth or their teeth are grossly<br />

decayed,” Murray says. “Once their oral health is under control,<br />

they try again, and they get hired. The before and after photos are<br />

dramatic.”<br />

6 unity health care


Sally*, a 37-year-old homeless woman, came to Murray with a<br />

simple comment: “I need my teeth fixed.” Because <strong>of</strong> abscesses,<br />

severely decayed teeth, and advanced periodontal disease, she<br />

needed multiple extractions and restorations. She had full-mouth<br />

rehabilitation, and after about nine months <strong>of</strong> treatment, her oral<br />

health had dramatically improved.<br />

“Sally was never successful when she applied for work, and there is<br />

reason to believe it was because <strong>of</strong> her appearance,” Murray says.<br />

“But when her oral health was in hand, she started work as a cashier<br />

at a Safeway supermarket. She is interacting with the public and<br />

doing well. She moved on to the next step <strong>of</strong> her life.”<br />

Homeless adults are twice as likely as the general population to have<br />

a need for treatment. Murray counteracts malnutrition, poor oral<br />

hygiene, tobacco use, and long-term lack <strong>of</strong> dental care by treating<br />

patient’s teeth and gums aggressively — and educating them about<br />

their specific needs.<br />

“On the first visit, we treat the patient’s chief complaint. Once I<br />

address that, I show them on an x-ray what is wrong, so they can see<br />

it,” Murray continues. “And I show them in a mirror how their teeth<br />

look and what needs to be done. After that, they understand why<br />

they need to come back regularly.”<br />

A willing and supportive partner<br />

None <strong>of</strong> this would be possible without the full, modern dental suite<br />

funded by <strong>Care</strong>First BlueCross BlueShield.<br />

“Dental care is an essential part <strong>of</strong> primary care and preventive care.<br />

The population served at the CCNV had limited access to medical<br />

care and many suffered from conditions that can lead to heart<br />

disease and gastrointestinal ailments,” says Maria Harris Tildon,<br />

<strong>Care</strong>First BlueCross BlueShield Senior Vice President <strong>of</strong> Public Policy<br />

and Community Affairs. “We are delighted that the <strong>Care</strong>First Dental<br />

Suite at the CCNV continues to serve as a national model for providing<br />

quality dental care for low income and uninsured patients —<br />

mostly homeless children and adults.”<br />

In addition to providing quality care on site, the dental facility’s digital<br />

x-rays make it possible to easily share information with specialists<br />

and other providers and to maintain records efficiently.<br />

Federal City-CCNV also has physicians, social workers, and psychiatric<br />

care, so everyone can work as a team to effectively treat the<br />

patient’s overall health. Because all <strong>of</strong> the services are in the same<br />

clinic, providers can easily consult, and patients can see more than<br />

one provider on the same day.<br />
