Organization Name: PLACER-NEVADA COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

• Description: If you have a medical emergency please call 911.Please note: SIERRA COMMUNITY MEDICAL FOUNDATION is NOT currently a treatment center or a crisis center but a non-profit member of the network of care in our community.The Sierra Community Medical Foundation (SCMF) currently reaches hundreds of people each month in Placer, Nevada, Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa Counties. Part of our work addresses the issues involved with opioid safety and medication-assisted treatment access through the Placer-Nevada Rx Safety Coalition. We are here to help our uninsured and indigent community partners in getting access to education about healthier lifestyles. Our other services revolve around our new physician wellness program which provides opportunities for physicians to alleviate burnout and reduce stress, and our Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, coalition.SCMF provides trainings, prevention and health education, and workshops along with many other resources. SCMF will continue its work in collaboration with local hospitals, community organizations, law enforcement, and local businesses to provide treatment and medical services to those that may not otherwise be able to access care.Our goals will include the following: Increase the number of people who enroll in, or maintain, health care coverage. Increase access to culturally competent, high quality health care providers and services for the underinsured and uninsured individuals. Offer methods to help reduce opioid dependency. Offer health screenings to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), addiction, dependency, and health disparities. Provide coalition and steering committee activities to residents of all counties represented.
