Community Leadership Rising Teen and Young Adult Health Center becomes trusted community resource
Partnerships allow for holistic care
New collaborative partnerships have allowed us to go beyond health care and provide more resources to vulnerable members of our community. OneWorld and the Immigrant Legal Center (ILC) formed a unique Immigrant-focused Medical/Legal Partnership in 2017 to assist qualifying patients with free legal assistance for immigration issues. Similarly, OneWorld’s Associate Medical Director of Women’s Health, Courtney Allen Cowardin, CNM, created a partnership with Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue, a local nonprofit that delivers excess perishable food to nonprofits that feed the hungry. Patients can now come to the Women’s Health Center on Friday afternoons to receive bags of healthy groceries. “My inspiration was talking to patients and having them tell me that they had food insecurity or that they were hungry and their kids were hungry,” she said.
Since OneWorld’s Teen and Young Adult Health Center opened in 2016, the clinic has provided primary and behavioral health care and sexual health services for thousands of young patients who speak nine different languages and live in 13 different ZIP codes. According to data from South High School, which is located across the street from the clinic, the number of pregnant students at the school decreased by half between the 2015-2016 school year and the 2016-2017 school year.
OneWorld opens second Quick Sick urgent care location
In 2017, OneWorld expanded its clinic in northwest Omaha to include a Quick Sick urgent care clinic. The new Quick Sick clinic offers patients the ability to walk in and receive care for both medical and dental issues—no appointment needed.
