Albina Center provides health programs
The A lb in a H um an Resources
Canter with its various divisions of
fers numerous services for children
ages one through four years. The
Dental Clinic provides routine care
for children thirteen years of age and
under, as well as emergency care for
children to eighteen years of age. The
clinic prefers to serve low-income
clients who have no insurance,
health plan, or welfare assistance.
Eligibility is determined by family
size and income level. Children
generally begin coming to the clinic
at the age of two years when all the
baby teetlj are in. This age group has
cleanings, fluoride treatments, and
checkups for decay. The dentists
look for baby-bottle syndrome which
results in rapid tooth decay due to a
child’s longtime exposure to sugar —
the bottle pulls sugar in milk or other
liquids against the upper teeth for a
long period of time. The one to four
years olds are also treated for ac
cidents since they tehd to have more
falls.
The Children and Youth Project
provides comprehensive health ser
vices to children with medical needs,
ages birth through eleven years.
W o rking with the C om m unity
Health Nursing Well Child Clinic,
the county provides such services as
medical, nursing, dental and mental
health evaluation and treatment;
health,
nutrition
and
home
economics evaluation and education,
and referrals for x-ray, laboratory,
and out-patient treatm ent. The
highly individualized care involves a
complete physical assessment of the
child and a regular schedule for im
munizations.
The Mental Health Clinic offers
services for young children and their
parents. When problems arise,
parenting groups are available for
the families. Ideally, children go with
their parents into the parenting
groups before the age of four. By
coming to the sessions before there is
an identifiable problem, problems
can be prevented before they occur.
Mental Health also offers some in-
dividual fam ily counseling. On
Friday mornings a child psychiatrist
is available at the Center for
evaluations with both child and
parent; some short-term counseling
is provided. Again, the objective is to
prevent problems before they occur
or get worse.
The Center’s Pediatrics Clinic of
fers acute care for children from birth
to eighteen years o f age. The clinic
deals with sick children, gives im
munizations and physicals, and
watches the child’s growth and
development. I f problems with
speech, hearing, or other develop
ments are observed, the child is
referred to specialists for further
treatment.
