To your health

The Santa Clara Family Health Plan marked the opening of its new Family Resource Center at 1450 White Road last Sunday. The Center will provide resources to create wider community knowledge and use of health care offerings. "Today's opening is a step in reaching out and becoming part of the East Side community we will serve," said Family Health Plan CEO Leona Butler. Reflecting the diversity of that community, representatives of various faiths gave their blessing to the Center's opening.

Among the services provided will be health education classes and workshops, a health library and audio-visual center, and access to computers with direct health information links. The Center will also have staff from the County Social Services Agency, making access to Employment and Benefit services easier for eligible customers.

Santa Clara Family Health Plan is a non-profit organization working to improve access to quality, affordable health care. The Center project is the 1999 recipient of the $50,000 SmithKline Beecham Healthcare Partnership Award.
