The School of Nursing provides pediatric care to the children of these families from ages two weeks to 21 years at the AVANCE Community Outreach Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>The clinic is open weekdays for sick and well visits and is staffed with pediatric nurse practitioner Johanna Matos, M.S.N., RN, CPNP, clinical assistant professor; a registered nurse, and a licensed vocational nurse.\u00a0 One of the main goals of the clinic is to educate parents in the AVANCE community about the importance of immunizations and the standards set by the state of Texas in order for their children to enter school.\u00a0 \u201cMany of these families are either undocumented or are waiting on their immigration status to be assigned,\u201d says Matos, \u201cand they are not receiving the health services they need.\u201d<br \/>\nThe on-site clinic provides the vaccines needed for the children to start school and referrals to other health care providers such as a pediatrician or dentist near their homes.<\/p>\n<table class=\"alignright\" style=\"height: 106px; width: 35%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: solid; border-color: #b64e01; background-color: #ebebeb;\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%; text-align: left;\"><strong>RELATED STORIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/tribute\/2018\/05\/04\/community-clinics-overview\/\">Understanding Social Determinants of Health: Promoting Health at Community Clinics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/tribute\/2018\/05\/04\/san-antonio-refugee-health-clinic\/\">Understanding Social Determinants of Health: San Antonio Refugee Health Clinic<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/tribute\/2018\/05\/04\/healy-murphy-center\/\">Understanding Social Determinants of Health: Healy-Murphy Center<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u201cWe see children for disease prevention and offer health education for the family because most of them are new to San Antonio or the Texas system,\u201d Matos says. \u201cWe are providing a bridge for these families as well as health care. For example, we may have a family that tells us they are struggling with food, and we refer them to the food bank.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matos also offers educational health seminars for the families at AVANCE-San Antonio. Recently she conducted a seminar on common childhood diseases and explained what symptoms a parent or guardian should look for before taking a child to the pediatrician or urgent care.<br \/>\n\u201cI believe that having this opportunity to work with AVANCE in this particular community is a win-win situation. It is a learning experience for us and for the parents as well. As a health care provider, you must look at the whole spectrum or entire picture of a family from financial struggles to where they came from or their culture along with shelter and food. With this partnership, we can help facilitate a family\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AVANCE-San Antonio offers parent education and support programs in at-risk communities including enrollment in Head Start, a federally funded preschool program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,11],"magazine":[24],"issue-year":[21],"featured-story":[],"class_list":["post-604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-patient-care","magazine-tribute","issue-year-21"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
