Jorge and his wife have six children ages 8 and under. Jorge is the sole wage earner for his family and suffers from seasonal allergies that at times aggravate his asthma so badly that he cannot work. When the condition would become severe, he would go to the local hospital emergency room for treatment and would receive a small stock of allergy medications. The hospital referred Jorge to the Occidental Area Health Center for follow up care. After understanding that he would qualify for the sliding scale program, he began coming in for medical services. The Access Coordinator at the Health Center also helped to enroll Jorge’s three eldest children with the Healthy Kids program, which provides medical and dental coverage for children.
