 * Maslow Project **

Maslow Project’s mission is to offer every homeless child and youth the probability of success and the opportunity for a better life. They do this by providing resources for basic needs, removing barriers to education and employment, and fostering self-sufficiency in a collaborative and empowering environment.

Maslow Project is a goal-oriented resource center serving homeless youth, ages 0 through 21. They provide basic needs, as well as on-site access to a variety of services from community partners. Maslow Project helps youth establish educational, employment, and personal development goals while providing wrap-around case-management services to assist youth in attaining those goals

If your family members or you are 21 or younger, residing anywhere from Ashland to Rogue River, and don’t have a permanent place to call home, Maslow Project can be a resource for you. Go to the drop-in center at 500 Monroe Street in Medford for food, clothing, hygiene supplies, counseling, DHS help, tutoring, and other resources or contact one of Maslow Project’s school-based case managers at your child’s or your school.

Also in outreach
Our outreach programs have been developed to empower those we treat with the care, education, and counseling they need to live healthier lives. La Clinica joins with homeless service providers to offer basic care and health education to the homeless community monthly. For more than two decades we and a team of community volunteers halso have provided much needed medical and dental care to migrant and seasonal farm workers in our community. Our programs include:

[|Migrant and seasonal farmworker outreach]

[|Homeless outreach]

[|Outreach to homeless teens]

Especially for children
La Clinica operates several programs in the community targeted at children. In many cases our programs are the only medical safety net these children know. Programs include:

[|Healthy Start/Healthy Families]

[|Kids Health Connection]

[|Happy Smiles]

NEW: La Clinica Mobile Health Center
[|See the center's schedule]

New in 2012, the La Clinica Mobile Health Center is a 40-foot clinic on wheels that will provide medical, dental, and behavioral health care to an estimated 3,500 new patients by the end of 2013.

Three schools are on the center's route. It stops at Howard, Jefferson, and Wilson elementary schools in Medford one day each week during the school year.

The center also stops at Ashland First United Methodist Church once weekly.

The organization plans to add service to other organizations and is talking with St. Vincent de Paul, ACCESS Inc., the Jackson County Housing Authority, Phoenix High School, and other school district sites.

Nurse practitioners or doctors, plus nurses, medical assistants, and dental staff work on the vehicle, which includes medical exam areas, a full dental suite, an office area, a lab, and a restroom. The medical and dental exam areas can be enclosed to provide privacy for patients. It is accessible by wheelchair.

Patients are served on a drop-in basis. Those with urgent needs are served first.

La Clinica is offering this service through the use of two federal grants. We are extremely grateful to our federal partners for recognizing the need for such services in Jackson County, where high unemployment and lower-than-average wages make access to care especially difficult.

The Mobile Health Center is the first of its kind in Jackson County. ||
