You are a healthcare service coordinator for a local health department. You have been tasked with coordinating services for a 29-year-old single Indian mother and her three children, ages 1, 3, and 4. After completing the client intake, you have discovered the following information: Angela is a single mother who has come into the clinic today due to having high blood pressure and needs to see about getting her medication refilled. Angela struggles to pay the $30 a month for her prescribed blood pressure medication; she currently takes them every other day so they will last longer. Angela and her children do not have medical insurance and Angela stated that she probably cannot afford it. In today’s visit, it has been identified that Angela’s one-year-old is still not walking and her three-year-old has a speech delay. Angela is concerned about their development and if it will have an impact on them long term. Angela also shared that the children’s father does not have parental rights, so she does not want any information shared with him if he were to call the clinic. Angela works part time at a local diner but is not able to put in more than four hours a day because she has a limited support system to help with her three children. Her neighbor has agreed to watch the children at no charge, but she is only available from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. She also mentioned that she must work within two miles of their apartment because she does not have a vehicle and must walk. Due to her limited income, Angela worries about their food running out as it always gets low the last week of the month before her food stamps are renewed on the first of the month. Food stamps are the only assistance Angela and her family currently receive. Angela has not investigated additional support or services she may qualify for. As the healthcare service coordinator for your new client and her family, you are responsible for determining the services your client will need to not only meet her healthcare needs but also manage the needs of her family.
