Healing Hands Ministries was founded to provide compassionate, accessible, quality medical care to the Dallas community. Healing Hands is a patient-focused community health center capable of caring for a patient from birth to the end of their life. Healing Hands Ministries focuses on empowering the community by improving access and delivery of healthcare, providing education to help maintain improved lifestyles and inspires others to take responsibility for their own health. Today, Healing Hands Ministries has rebranded to HHM Health, beginning an exciting new chapter of expansion. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), HHM offers family practice, women’s health, pediatrics, dental, vision and behavioral health services to patients regardless of ability to pay. HHM Health is dedicated to delivering cost-effective, high-quality medical services to residents of Dallas County, Texas, guided by their mission of providing healthcare to all with love, compassion, and respect. HHM Health is applying for SAMHSA Prevention Navigator programming to expand efforts on providing substance use and HIV prevention services to racial and ethnic minorities at high-risk for substance use disorder and HIV infection in the Dallas community. HHM Health will expand its target population to target programming at LGBTQIA+ populations, and men who have sex with men (MSM) and men who have sex with men and women (MSMW). The following program overarching goals/programming will occur through SAMHSA programming: - HHM Health will enhance the organization’s outreach and engagement strategies through the population health team to increase access to substance use and HIV prevention services by at least 50%. - HHM Health will increase its direct behavioral health care (and SUD through referral) to those at high-risk, supporting at least 450 clients at the end of the funding period. - HHM Health will enhance its HIV prevention programming by connecting with more clients and preventing new HIV infections by at least 25% among the service area by the end of the program period. - HHM Health will improve HIV-related health otucomes of people with HIV by integrating primary care, mental health, SUD and HIV care, integrating care during at least 85% of applicable encounters - HHM Health will reduce HIV-related disparities and health inequities by connecting with the high-risk population and providing care to at least 50 clients in the first year of funding. - HHM Health will provide integrated, coordinated care that addresses the HIV epidemic through the collaboration of community partners. HHM Health will focus on ensuring that all clients seeking care at HHM Health have access to the resources to know their status and will ensure that all individuals living with HIV have high-quality care and treatment, living free from stigma and discrimination to achieve their full potential for health and well-being across the lifespan. This program will enable HHM Health to continue its mission of providing healthcare to the most vulnerable populations across Dallas and the surrounding communities, directly impacting marginalized populations that have been more negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this funding opportunity, HHM Health will specifically target vulnerable populations and will aim to support the following numbers of children, families and adults each year: Number of Unduplicated Individuals to be Served with Award Funds Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total 50 70 90 110 130 450
