Strong Family Health Center (SFHC) is introducing our Elder Services Program. This program is to support the Native Elders of Modoc County. The program is to provide assistance to those that wish to live independently. We believe in a person’s right to dignity, self-determination and to fulfill the opportunity to live in the least restrictive environment possible. SFHC will reach out to community partners to gain as much resources possible.

Any individual wishing to be a part of the Elder Services Program must be a currently registered/active client with SFHC.

The Elder Services Program is here to assist Elder Clients in filling out Senior Meals Application, Home Energy Assistance Program (Li-heap), Emergency Preparedness Information, Needs Assessment, Transportation and much more. We will be implementing guest speakers to share important, educational information to our Elders. If you need transportation for any of the above, please let SFHC know as soon as possible as it is on a first come, first serve basis.

Hello. My name is Jesse Phillips and I am the new face of the Elder Services Program here at Strong Family Health Center. I hope I am able to assist you in any way I can. If you have any questions, please call the office and ask for Jesse.
