Project Access Multnomah County, a program of the Coalition of Community Health Clinics

Providing the Next Level of Health Care

Community safety net clinics provide primary and acute care to low-income, uninsured residents of Multnomah County. However, when a patient is diagnosed with a condition requiring a specialist, their care hits a road block. The safety net is without the resources to provide comprehensive services, such as specialty care and hospitalization. While symptoms can be treated, a patient’s health invariably becomes worse, forcing them to the emergency department with a health crisis.

Project Access coordinates a process in which volunteer physicians and hospitals are willing to care for patients at the time their health issue is identified in the safety net clinic. Patients are seen by a specialist to resolve serious medical problems rather than returning repeatedly to primary clinics to treat symptoms.
