Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Family services: el centro's family service centers offer complimentary programs ranging from healthcare case management, health focus outreach and intervention, emergency assistance, client advocacy, and patient navigation. Our case management and emergency assistance services help stabilize families in crisis, direct them to necessary resources, provide family intervention, advocate on client's behalf and empower families to handle future crises. Our health-focused outreach and intervention program trains volunteer community lay health promoters-promotores de salud. The promotores are responsible for collecting community health data, providing basic health information, and disseminating materials related to obesity, smoking cessation, diet, and exercise through door-to-door surveys and health focus events. Our patient navigation program focuses on providing access to healthcare among the uninsured population through an "inside-out" approach. El centro's patient navigators create informal contacts within other medical providers and human service agencies to assist clients and remove barriers to healthcare access. These integrated programs assist families with non-clinical medical needs, educate families about healthy lifestyles, and empower families to build strong foundations for their future.

Activity 3

Financial development: el centro's economic improvement services program serves low-/moderate-income families and individuals throughout the kansas city metropolitan area with financial education and first-time homebuyer education courses. The program provides group education on the homebuying process and money management issues (e.g. Budgeting, savings, and asset-building). In addition, individual assistance and counseling in homebuying and money management issues are offered, along with free volunteer income tax assistance (vita) and itin applications.
