Help our newborn patients and<br />
support our Baby Boutique!<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>’s prenatal program cares for<br />
2,000 moms and newborn babies each year. Many <strong>of</strong> the patients<br />
we serve struggle to purchase needed supplies and clothing for their<br />
newborn babies. With funding help from the Chargers Ladies Club,<br />
we started the Baby Boutique.<br />
How does it work? The community provides donations <strong>of</strong> new and<br />
gently used baby items for the boutique. Patients receive “Baby<br />
Bucks” at their post natal visits, and then shop at the boutique for<br />
items they need.<br />
Jasmine was born August 18, 2010<br />
weighing a healthy 7 pounds 2<br />
ounces. Jasmine’s father works in<br />
construction and his hours were cut<br />
this year. Thankfully everyone is<br />
welcome at <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>, regardless <strong>of</strong> income or<br />
insurance status. It was our honor to<br />
care for Jasmine and give her a<br />
healthy start.<br />
Two easy ways you can help<br />
1 - We need volunteers to work at the Baby Boutique once a month.<br />
Duties include organizing donations, creating gift packages, and<br />
stocking shelves.<br />
2 - We need donations from our wish list to stock our Boutique<br />

The Campaign for Care<br />
Help us Build the New City Heights <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center<br />
We are bursting at the seams! Since 2002, when<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> (FHCSD) started<br />
providing healthcare services in City Heights, we have<br />
seen more than 500% growth in patient care. FHCSD<br />
recently received federal stimulus grant funds paving<br />
the way for us to expand and build a new City Heights<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center.<br />
The Campaign for Care is to close the $1.7 million<br />
funding gap that stimulus funds could not provide and<br />
are essential to complete this project. There are many<br />
ways to support! Please join us in our efforts to build<br />
a healthy community in City Heights. For giving<br />
opportunities, please contact Edith Glassey, Director<br />
<strong>of</strong> Philanthropy at edithg@fhcsd.org or 619-906-4508.<br />
The new clinic will be located at 5454 El Cajon<br />
Boulevard and will replace the current location at 5379<br />
El Cajon Blvd. and is slated to open in 2012. It will<br />
feature an adult clinic, a pediatric clinic, a women’s<br />
clinic, a dental clinic, radiology, and pharmacy. All <strong>of</strong><br />
these services are vital to improving the access and<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> healthcare for the residents <strong>of</strong> City Heights<br />
and the 16 neighborhoods surrounding the clinic.<br />

<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> is grateful<br />
to be the recipient <strong>of</strong><br />
two grants from the <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong> County Employees’ Charitable Organization<br />
(CECO): a $7,500 award for our <strong>Health</strong>care for the<br />
Homeless Mental <strong>Health</strong>care Program to provide<br />
psychotropic medications to homeless persons who<br />
suffer mental health issues and a $6,191 award for a<br />
new dental treatment chair for the Dental Clinic at<br />
Logan Heights <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center.<br />
Electronic Dental Records<br />
Roll Out A Success!<br />
In January, <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
(FHCSD) completed the roll out <strong>of</strong> our new Electronic<br />
Dental Records system. The sophisticated system was<br />
developed in house under the leadership <strong>of</strong> FHCSD CIO<br />
Andres Gutierrez, Dental Director Ibrahim Sawaya, DDS<br />
and Senior S<strong>of</strong>tware Architect Das Vakamudi.<br />
The new system ensures every part <strong>of</strong> the patient’s dental<br />
treatment and care plan are recorded electronically. It<br />
also gives our three dental clinics new tools to track<br />
quality measures and improve care. Equally impressive,<br />
FHCSD’s dental staff implemented the new system<br />
without a drop in productivity! Congratulations to<br />
FHCSD’s IT and Dental teams for this great success!<br />
Taking care <strong>of</strong> one’s mental and dental health are<br />
critical to an individual's well-being and our patients<br />
appreciate their access to these services through<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>.<br />
CECO is a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it, employee-managed<br />
organization that gives 100 percent <strong>of</strong> the donations<br />
given by employees and retirees <strong>of</strong> County <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong> to local non-pr<strong>of</strong>it agencies.<br />

A Legacy <strong>of</strong> Caring<br />
We welcome you to the newest<br />
section <strong>of</strong> our newsletter, A<br />
Legacy <strong>of</strong> Caring. In this<br />
section we will be sharing<br />
ideas and information on how<br />
to make your “gift <strong>of</strong> a lifetime” to charitable<br />
organizations that make a tremendous impact on<br />
improving and saving lives in our community –<br />
organizations such as <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong>.<br />
What Will You Leave Behind?<br />
Everyone leaves a mark on humanity. Our marks are<br />
made by the impression <strong>of</strong> our lives on others. A person<br />
is remembered for his or her character, kindness,<br />
generosity, and values.<br />
When we leave positive impressions behind, we enhance<br />
the lives <strong>of</strong> our friends and loved ones. We give them<br />
footprints to follow. Thoughtful estate planning is one<br />
means we have to make a mark in the sand, to help<br />
others recall our values.<br />
An estate gift makes a positive statement. When you<br />
include a charitable organization, such as <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> in the final disposition <strong>of</strong> your<br />
estate, you declare to your family and friends that you<br />
believe in and care about our mission and our work.<br />
Your parting gift becomes a clear declaration <strong>of</strong> your<br />
values.<br />
An estate gift provides needed funding. Estate gifts are<br />
especially valuable, not only because they tend to be<br />
larger than annual gifts, but because they <strong>of</strong>ten fund<br />
needed programs and help to establish beneficial<br />
services not otherwise possible.<br />
An estate gift encourages imitation. There’s something<br />
about a well-planned estate gift that influences others to<br />
“go and do likewise.” Your gift may be the motivation to<br />
unlock resources from others.<br />
Thank you for considering <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong> as you plan your gift <strong>of</strong> legacy. If you have<br />
questions, please contact Edith Glassey, Director <strong>of</strong><br />
Philanthropy, at edithg@fhcsd.org or (619) 906-4508.<br />

ICARE<br />
An Innovative Approach<br />
The County <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> recently selected <strong>Family</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> (FHCSD) and Community<br />
Research Foundation (CRF) to lead an innovative pilot<br />
project that dramatically changes the way we provide<br />
physical and mental healthcare services to individuals<br />
with serious mental illness.<br />
For many years, mental health and primary care services<br />
were delivered in “silos”. Patients had to go to two<br />
separate, non-collaborating providers to get services. As<br />
a result, patients did not get all the care they needed and<br />
providers never had complete information about the<br />
patient’s health.<br />
Through our new Integrated Care Resources (ICARE)<br />
Project, FHCSD will establish patient-centered medical<br />
homes for at least 300 individuals with serious mental<br />
illness, providing for both their physical health and<br />
mental health care needs. CRF will provide the mental<br />
health services for another 300 patients and coordinate<br />
their access to physical health care at FHCSD.<br />
