scheduling and payment
We are dedicated to advancing health equity in our community, and see our role as increasing access to support services for those with barriers to care (financial or otherwise). We work to offer flexible scheduling and provide transportation, when possible.
We work to secure grants, donations, and maintain community contracts in an effort to provide free youth program services to all.
