“Hope within community health center and hope within counseling services offer free primary healthcare and low cost mental health counseling services. The health center offers free medical care to residents of dauphin,lancaster, and lebanon counties. A low fee sliding scale is in place for counseling services. Clients are eligible for counseling services regardless of county of residence, insurance status or lack thereof. This has been designed to create early and affordable access to mental healthcare services. To date, 80-90% of those seeking services for counseling also lack healthcare coverage. Hope within currently participates with and bills no insurance programs for either of our programs. In july 2020, hope within opened a primary care donation-based dental clinic. We added a dentist to the staff who performs the duties of a "dental director." in addition to our paid registered public health hygienist, we have an additional volunteer who performs the same duties. To further extend our availability, hope within allows dental hygiene students from harrisburg area community college to perform cleanings, prophy's, etc. Under the direct supervision of a licensed public health hygienist. Further expanding uopn our primary care services, we added acupuncture and psychiatry. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, many 'visits' were conducted by volunteer providers over the phone from their homes which were not recorded as 'visits' (but were chartered) and are likely to have not been captured in the tally becuase they were not scheduled. There were 735 onsite office visits for healthcare, significantly reduced due to covid-19. 334 onsite office visits for counseling services have been performed in 2020 which have benefited 321 individuals combined medical, couseling and dental.”
