9:32 am
creates and creates the nation we'll see an improvement. >> the asian asian pacific islander women do we go favorite than the traditional mammograms that's on an open and a question. >> let's hear the expertise. >> it's an important findings we do in but it's hard to read the fine perspective you wanted to have a discussion with our patients what's the next steps all the services are available should they choose to be seen in a breakfast clinic and mri you have to weigh it if what is going to help them the most we have data on the choices women make on if cancer diagnosed it's
9:33 am
a personal choices but a conversation that providers will have with the patients fortunately we've got the resources to make the referrals. >> and particularly if they're limited to be proficient. >> that's where the team comes in we ask i know we're fortunate to have the workforce development young people in our centers that can act as health coaches not necessarily a practitioner but someone that takes time to find out what they heard and understand and make the next decision. >> thank you, commissioner. >> i'd like to ask a question about lark i was glad to see you have a lark project but i'm wondering how far has it begun
9:34 am
in terms of public education it's probably the most safe and reliable source of conservatives for women but the numbers are low due to provider bias that it might increase project executes you might know that right. >> i'm wondering how much have we done in terms of public education and awareness around lark in san francisco. >> dr. a james. >> we're ableers there's no question about that so i believe to date 3 of our clinics have gloen the training it's a real clinic wide effort from the person answering the phone to you know the janitor everyone is on board we want to support women in those choices so and then the rest of the clinics we're hoping to bring
9:35 am
that over time we have 3 pioneers it started this they've doubted their rates of ivs and the public awareness campaign and you know, i think the h pc are v is something we've been successful not only for the young women but young men as well. >> dr. would you like to - >> dr. you wanted to say a couple of words. >> in terms of of the long acting we have a birth outcomes initiative that is going on right now it has two main strategies and one of them to improve the sergeant of lark and this is focused on the disparity
9:36 am
and access to family planning and lark for young african-american women so we are working with the initiative that's a collaborative with many partners including the clinics and this pilot project but there's a workshop that is focusing on lark in particular and the public education piece of it is on their agenda this is one of the main strategies with the idea we have to really focus on the health of the young woman and that's going to lead towards better birth outcomes for the family yeah, that's one thing i wanted to add. >> any other questions? >> i just want to make a couple of comments especially around those really personal stories that you all shared and it's really heart living and when i
9:37 am
look at the way that the community oriented prim care 52 percent of those patients of women i think that those become important as we continue to move into the ac a era when we look at the patient retention and outreaching and 345shg9d the services we provide i think there will be more and more opportunity with those stories to be shared, you know, so it's not necessarily the stories we hear about primary care (laughter) but 101 you've seen one of them it's important and i think that's part of what we haven't touched on how do we really educate those who are eligible
9:38 am
for our services that you know the transfer of the services we actually especially in this case it looks like it will be more women a than men ceasing those questions. >> i wonder if the director of the health would like to respond to our strategy. >> good evening, commissioners i'm roland director of the health network in terms of respond to the community i'm sure you're aware of the health network we're in the process of rolling out a marketing and branding campaign which you'll be hearing more about on the october 7th commissioner meeting but part thought is both an internal and external communications plan we worked for the last 6 months on the external and now moving into the
9:39 am
face of the overall community part of that will be the development of a newsletter that will be administered by the network and distributed to the patient who are assigned to our network same we're part of the san francisco health plan that actually has a robust communications system already in play so we'll continue to strengthen our partnership with them in terms of getting out the information of the services we provide. >> thank you so the other questions i have is the do those numbers include the other community clinics signatures martin and the free clinic and i see the deputy shaking his head and nate's that's our network by the way, u. >> because those are somewhat of a speciality clinic so
