People with developmental disabilities often have difficulty accessing and understanding proper treatment due to intellectual or cognitive impairments.
Arc SF Health & Wellness staff support at-risk participants with services including health care navigation, regular monitoring, screenings, and fitness education. Assuring continuity of care for our participants is a priority for us. Health case management, part-time nurses, and healthy living classes are all part of our community-based case management services.
Health Advocacy includes support with:
- Understanding health plan costs and coverage
- Doctor-patient communicayion
- Providing health history
- Getting timely screenings
- Following treatment plans
- Getting proper primary, vision, dental, and podiatric care
