Community and Migrant Health Centers (C/MHCs) can successfully finance geriatric programs by diversifying funding, tracking costs, marketing services, and collaborating with aging networks. These strategies enhance program visibility and patient care for underserved elderly populations.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Community and Migrant Health Centers (C/MHCs) serve medically underserved populations.
  • There is a clear need for geriatric programs within C/MHCs.
  • Financing comprehensive geriatric programs in C/MHCs presents challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify successful funding techniques for geriatric programs in C/MHCs.
  • To examine "good practice" C/MHC geriatric programs.
  • To provide guidance on financing geriatric care in underserved areas.

Main Methods:

  • Examined 10 "good practice" C/MHC geriatric programs.
  • Identified effective funding and operational techniques.
  • Analyzed financial strategies and community collaborations.
