Valley Community Healthcare

Specialty services (visits - 28,118) covers dental health care, behavioral health services and optometry during the current fiscal year. The organization spun off its behavioral health services and long term couseling services into an unrelated tax exempt organization.

Valley community healthcare also issued a grant to establish the valley healthcare foundation. Funds issued to the foundation will be made available to meet the needs of the clinic as well as those of other entities within the community.

The hiv/aids program (visits - 562 ), which includes testing, education and outreach, is also the oldest hiv testing site in the san fernando valley. With on-site testing available since 1987, the first year such testing was made available to the public. Since that time the clinic has continuously provided testing to populations at risk, including gay men, bi-sexual men, teens of both genders, and women.

Valley community healthcare also offers various health education classes designed to meet the community's greatest needs. Most notable are the nutrition and prenatal classes for our expecting mothers as well as a robust health education program for teens throughout the san fernando valley designed specifically to address sensitive teen issues.
