The HAWC Community Health Center is a non-profit tax exempt
organization based in Reno, Nevada. The Washoe County
Medical Society developed it to treat the working uninsured of
Northern Nevada. We opened on May 15, 1995, and are
providing over 5000 patient visits per month.
History of Health Access Washoe County
Medical Clinic
In the early 1990's the
Washoe County Medical Society had the vision of providing
medical care to Northern Nevadan's who did not have access
to medical care. They opened the first medical clinic,
HAWC Community Health Center
(Health Access Washoe County) based on a sliding
fee scale. HAWC targets a large group of people consisting
of the working uninsured, the uninsured and those who cannot
afford the costly visit to a private physician.
HAWC opened it's doors in
1995 and has been providing health care resources ever
since. We provide many different programs for the
community. The diabetes collaborative program, Chronic
Disease Management, Women's Health Connection, Susan G.
Komen, Vaccine for Children, a HAWC pharmacy, Pfizer "Share
the Care" program, Radiology, Children's Mental Health and
access to Quest Laboratory within the clinic. Each of these
programs is designed to care for the patient in a
specialized manner.
HAWC provides patient
services to assist each family who is in need with a sliding
fee scale payment plan.
Dental Clinic Over the last ten years as
our community grew so did we. In 1998 We opened our first
Dental Clinic. We currently provide preventive, restorative
and educational dental services consistent with the Nevada
State Board of Dental Examiners regulations. HAWC's dental
services include cleanings, sealants, x-rays, restorative
dentistry endontic treatments, extractions among others
and work is done after a treatment plan has been formed by
the team. Our dental clinics have 4 full-time dentists, 8
full-time dental assistants, two full-time hygienists and a
full-time project coordinator.
HAWC Dental South
In 2003 an opportunity presented itself to expand HAWC's
dental services to a satellite facility in the south part of
Reno. Not only does it receive the current heavy volume of
dental patients we see at the Wells location, but we are able to
provide yet another easily accessible location to our patients.
Outreach Medical Clinic
In 1998 the HAWC Community Health Center working in
partnership with the Washoe County Health Department and ReStart
secured a federal "Healthcare for the Homeless" grant. The
goal was to take these funds to open a satellite operation
specifically focused on providing healthcare for the homeless.
HAWC Outreach Medical Clinic's goal is to provide health and
dental care to homeless individuals and families in Washoe
County. We have set high standards for providing our
patients with quality, comprehensive primary and preventive
care.
HAWC's total patient visits have grown every year beginning with
6600 visits in 1995 climbing to over 60,000 visits in 2005 due
to the great need in our community for health care! The HAWC
patient varies, the highest number of visitors being 80% women
and children and 40% to minorities. Only 10% are private
insurance or Medicare users, 33% are Medicaid users and 57% are
UNINSURED using the sliding fee scale. 1% is above 200% of
poverty lever, 22% is below poverty level and 31% is below 100%
poverty level.
