Providing Culturally Appropriate Services in California:
National Association of County Health Officials (NACHO) Demonstration Project
The third project site--San Luis Obispo County, California, brought together
the San Luis Obispo County Health Agency with Hispanos Unidos de Paso Robles
in order to include the Hispanic families involved with Hispanos Unidos
de Paso Robles in the development of more responsive health services. Towards
this effort, the demonstration project held meetings in the community to
alert people about the available health services, identify barriers to access
to care, and develop strategies for overcoming those barriers. Participants
also selected Spanish-language materials for use in clinics, created a health
access information brochure, agreed to examine the issue of TB testing for
preschoolers, and developed the 2nd Immunization Outreach Day. In conjunction
with these projects, participants publicized the projects' efforts through
the media and the Children's Policy Council, co-sponsored cross-cultural
awareness training for staff, and helped train Paso Robles staff to draw
blood for lead testing. |
