Case management. Every effort is made by Turner House support staff to ensure that families are referred to appropriate services for their needs. Through the Healthy Steps for Young Children program, families of children 0-3 are referred to other agencies such as the Infant & Toddler program for developmental concerns, Parents As Teachers, Project Eagle (family support), Healthy Start (social services) Dame la mano (nutrition classes), El Centro (medicine, food, legal), and others.
Patient and community education.
Eligibility assistance. Families of uninsured patients are referred to the Medicaid enrollment specialist stationed three days a week at Turner House to determine eligibility and complete applications.
Interpretation. Turner House ensures that all Spanish-speaking families have access to bilingual staff. An interpreter is available for physicians who do not speak Spanish. Front desk staff and medical assistants are all bilingual in English and Spanish. A language line is available for families who speak languages other than English or Spanish.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
