Background: Cahaba Medical Care Foundation is a community health center providing medical, pharmacy, dental, and behavioral health services to diverse underserved communities in Alabama.

  • Discuss benefits like child care, food stamps, housekeeping, sanitation, and money management to determine needs versus wants

  • Review and submit reports requested by the Social Services Coordinator or Case Managers

  • Interview family members or individuals to obtain a complete family history to more closely determine which services are appropriate and needed

  • Assist with sliding fee applications

  • Assist with patient assistant applications

  • Assist with clerical needs, as requested.
