Program Design & Management

Since the 1980s, SFCCC has created and initiated programs – ranging from childhood immunization to substance abuse – that expand the capacity of our clinics to provide patient care. In the area of Program Design & Management, SFCCC partner clinics, designated San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) clinics, and other community-based agencies, sub-contract with SFCCC to provide direct patient care. SFCCC provides centralized program design and management, data collection and reporting, program evaluation, and technical assistance and training through Health Care for the Homeless, Street Outreach Services, HIV Services, and Mental Health Services.

Partnership Services

In the area of Partnership Services, SFCCC works to weave a strong clinic network by initiating programs that reduce the overhead costs and maximize the resources of our partner clinics. The programs in this area strengthen the partnership as a whole, so that our clinics may continue to thrive in a competitive health care marketplace. These programs include the San Francisco Community HealthCorps and Cooperative Solutions.

Partnership Promotion

In the area of Partnership Promotion, SFCCC takes a leadership role – as facilitators, negotiators, and representatives – with its work in Health Policy & Planning and Development & Community Outreach. It is through these two programs that SFCCC has established its broad base of constituents, and where we are best positioned to promote the value of our partner clinics as a vital part of San Francisco’s health care delivery system.

Central to SFCCC’s work in this area is the communication of issues that impact our partners and their patients. Both programs share a common goal to encourage decisions that expand access to care for the uninsured, as well as those that support the maintenance and/or increase of public funding levels to community clinics. With public funding to community clinics continually being threatened by government reforms and/or deficit, both programs endeavor to reach out to the broadest possible community to heighten the awareness of the SFCCC partnership.
