Programs
Program 1 [2020]
Volunteers founded Turner House Clinic, Inc. in 1990. During the next three decades, the organization evolved from a volunteer pediatric clinic to a paid-provider practice and achieved national recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, providing integrated primary medical, behavioral health and dental services for all. Effective September 1, 2019, Vibrant Health received designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) after operating as a FQHC Look-Alike organization since January 1, 2018. Our mission is to provide access to respectful, empowering, culturally sensitive and appropriate high quality health care for the community, regardless of socioeconomic obstacles. The target population consists of underserved and uninsured children and adults living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. In 2020, 62% of patients lived at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level and approximately 70% of visits were provided to patients living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. To better meet the needs of patient families, we expanded weekday clinic hours to include more start times before 8 am and more clinic hours after 5 pm, in addition to Saturday clinic sessions. Among total patients, 41% were uninsured, 37% were Medicaid insured, 21% were commercially insured, and 1% were Medicare insured. Almost 75% of patients identified as Hispanic/Latino; 70% of patients were best served in a language other than English; 1% of patients identified as more than one race. During the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic onset, Vibrant Health responded to rapid changes in guidelines and orders, as well as to health and safety needs of patients and employees, and actively participated in the Wyandotte County Health Equity Task Force, supporting COVID-related activities. Clinics were re-purposed for "sick care or "well care" services, administering clinic based COVID-19 testing at clinics and education in a variety of languages on hand hygiene, cough etiquette, and transmission, to prevent, contain, or mitigate COVID-19, in addition to essential health services. Vibrant Health promoted and staffed drive up/walk up COVID-19 testing events at various community locations, expanded tele-health services and enhanced website and social media platforms to facilitate patient access. Vibrant Health and the University of Kansas Health System were awarded the Non Profit Connect "Excellence in Collaboration" award for working together to create a strong and sustainable FQHC headquartered in Wyandotte County.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$5.1MProgram 2 [2020]
Dental caries (cavities) are rampant in Turner House patients, many of them have received no preventative oral hygiene care. As a result, Turner House provides a portable dental hygiene program to area schools and in-clinic. This program includes dental screenings, teeth cleaning and scaling, and the application of fluoride varnishes and dental sealants. In 2020, Vibrant Health began planning the construction of its dental clinic in an effort to expand from three operatories to ten. The expansion was needed to help increase access to dental care services and to improve the health outcomes of underserved adults and children living in Wyandotte County, Kansas.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$381.4K
