- $23.6 million spent. IN 2024, PEOPLE'S SERVED MORE THAN 21,000 PATIENTS BY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY HEALTHCARE AND WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT SERVICES. IN EARLY FEBRUARY, THE CLINIC TRANSITIONED TO A NEW ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD SYSTEM. FOLLOWING GO-LIVE, STAFF WORKED DILIGENTLY TO ADJUST TO THE NEW SYSTEM, STRENGTHEN ITS DATA ANALYTICS CAPACITY, AND STREAMLINE WORK FLOWS TO MAXIMIZE CARE. ADDITIONALLY, PEOPLE'S DEVELOPED PLANS TO EXPAND ITS PEDIATRIC AND WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICE LINES (EXPECTED TO REACH COMPLETION IN 2025) TO HELP MEET THE GROWING DEMAND FOR ACCESSIBLE MEDICAL CARE IN CENTRAL TEXAS. AND NOTABLY, THE CLINIC PARTNERED WITH AUSTIN URBAN TECHNOLOGY MOVEMENT HQ (AUTMHQ) TO BEGIN DELIVERING WEEKLY DIGITAL SKILLS CLASSES ONSITE. STAFF OBSERVED FIRST-HAND THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL LITERACY AND THE POSITIVE IMPACT THIS WORK WILL HAVE ON MANY PATIENT FAMILIES.
- $7.9 million spent. PEOPLE'S CENTER FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH OFFERS A ROBUST MENU OF SERVICES RANGING FROM PROVIDING PRENATAL CARE, SUPPORTING NEW MOTHERS THROUGH THE POST-PARTUM PERIOD TO ANNUAL WELL-WOMAN EXAMS, PREVENTING UNINTENDED PREGNANCIES, , AND, DIAGNOSIS OF AND TREATMENT FOR VARIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS, AND MULTIPLE PREVENTATIVE SCREENINGS. PEOPLE'S PRIORITIZES PROVIDING PATIENT-CENTERED CARE AND FOSTERS A TEAM-BASED APPROACH TO HOW IT DELIVERS SERVICES. CLINIC STAFF ACROSS DEPARTMENTS WORK IN CLOSE COLLABORATION TO ENSURE ALL ASPECTS OF A PATIENT'S HEALTH ARE CONSIDERED AND THEY ARE CONNECTED TO ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO MEET THEIR NEEDS. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CLINIC'S PROGRAMS AND CARE IS EVIDENT IN THE POSITIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES SEEN AMONG PATIENTS COMPARED TO STATE-WIDE MEASURES AND EVALUATIVE FEEDBACK. IN 2024, 7.89% OF BABIES BORN TO CLINIC PATIENTS HAD A LOW BIRTH WEIGHT COMPARED TO 8.72% STATE-WIDE AND 8.85% AMONG OTHER FEDERALLY-FUNDED HEALTH CENTERS OF SIMILAR SIZE TO PEOPLE'S.
- $1.9 million spent. PEOPLE'S LAUNCHED ITS DENTAL PROGRAM IN 2016, INITIALLY RENDERING SERVICES IN A DENTAL VAN WITH ONLY TWO DENTAL CHAIRS. THE PROGRAM EXPANDED IN 2022 AND MOVED INTO A DEDICATED POD WITHIN THE MAIN CLINIC BUILDING. TODAY, THE FULLY-STAFFED DENTAL TEAM SERVES PATIENTS THROUGH SEVEN OPERATORIES AND IS CURRENTLY AT FULL OPERATING CAPACITY. IN 2024, PEOPLE'S DENTAL PROGRAM SERVED 3,752 PATIENTS THROUGH MORE THAN 9,200 VISITS (COMPARED TO 1,972 PATIENTS AND 6,152 DENTAL VISITS IN 2023). THE PROGRAM OFFERS BOTH BASIC DENTISTRY AND EXPANDED SERVICES SUCH AS ENDODONTIC, PROSTHODONTIC, AND RESTORATIVE DENTAL CARE TO HELP ADDRESS ISSUES COMPROMISING PATIENTS' QUALITY OF LIFE. EXPANDING ACCESS TO PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE IS A CRITICAL NEED AMONG THE CLINIC'S PATIENT POPULATION AS MOST PATIENTS EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS ACCESSING DENTAL CARE. . IMPORTANTLY, PEOPLE'S OFFERS RESTORATIVE PROCEDURES THAT OTHER LOCAL FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS DO NOT. WITHOUT PEOPLE'S, THESE PATIENTS WOULD LIKELY FOREGO ADDRESSING THEIR DENTAL NEEDS AS THEIR OPTIONS ARE LIMITED LOCALLY THROUGH OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND CANNOT AFFORD PRIVATE SECTOR OUT-OF-POCKET PRICES. DELAYING DENTAL CARE COULD LEAD TO WORSENED OVERALL HEALTH OUTCOMES AND HAVE LIFE-THREATENING CONSEQUENCES FOR SOME.
