SOUTH MIAMI CRA AND.., ROSIE LEE WESLEY CLINIC TOWNHALL MEETING: February 24, 2003 at 6:OO p.m./ Senior Citizens Building The following are the highlights of the meeting: Frequently Asked Questions: Prepare a question and answer handout that includes the questions raised at the meeting and any other information that is directly related to this community. (Rosie Lee /Jackson System to prepare the handout for the CRA, CAA and the CRB to distribute in the community) Listing of Rosie Lee Wesley as a Primary Care Center: It appears that the information distributed by the Medicare and Medicaid does not include Rosie Lee as a Primary Care Center. If this is true, this will need correction immediately. (Rosie Lee /Jackson System to follow up) Access to the Center: Anyone wishing to avail treatment at this Center, like any other, County. Centers, one .would simply has to walk in and register with the center and identify this Center as his/her Primary Care Center. Proper documentation is required to register. Lack of proper documentation ;will delay the process. Immunization program offered at the building is not part of the Clinic. Immunization service is provided by the Department of Health, which is a State Agency. Language Barrier: Community expressed strong concern about lack of African American employees at the clinic and difficulty of communicating sometimes with predominantly Hispanic employees.. (Rosie Lee /Jackson System to review the racial mix. Clinic staffing generally reflects the racial composition of the patients) Services provided: Community expressed a desire for the Clinic to provide the types of services that are reflective of the needs of the community. This surrounding community has an extremely high rate of AIDS and HIV infected population. The Clinic should have adequate resources to address this issue: (Rosie Lee /Jackson System to review the need and request that Commissioner Morales' office to review allocation of resources to address the magnitude of the problem) Wait time for Appointment: It was discussed that it may take as long as seven months to get an appointment for a new adult patient (For children it is a next day service).. The Clinic staff . indicated that a;recent addition of a physician has helped to shorten the wait time considerably. Contact person: Anyone having any problem that can not be solved by the staff is encourage to see the Clinic Administrator, Marilyn Perez (305 662 2279). To help improve communication between the community and the clinic it was suggested that the idea of a "Neighborhood Advisory Group" or a local "Board of Directors" be explored. This liaison group can assist the Clinic in its effort to provide effective community outreach and to help the community to get most out of the Clinic. Signage: Some properly worded and strategically located signs in different languages may help reduce some of the confusion.
