Extending health care to the underserved

The Response to Love Center announced Friday the development of Your Picture of Health, a new health care program for clients of the center and neighborhood residents.

The program will help those who are underserved to get access to health care. It employs an electronic record system for medical histories, and will encourage preventive health care.

The program, which relies largely on donated services, is open to residents on the East Side, and will be housed in the center’s new Wellness Room.
