1 Salud! Services Report Fiscal Year 212 october 1, september 3, 212 The major accomplishments of the Salud! Program in 212 include: 234 vineyards, wineries, and contractors participated in the Salud! program. 4,135 individuals were registered in the program, representing an overall increase of 13% in program participation since 211. A total of $167,873 was provided in Grants for Care for 3,294 encounters to help Salud! clients with healthcare expenses. There was a 6% increase in the number of Grants for Care provided to Salud! clients from 211 to individuals participated in the Salud! Services mobile wellness outreach program, receiving screenings for cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, and body mass index. 214 Salud! clients received $28,6 worth of services at mobile dental clinics at no cost to the individual. Female vineyard workers utilize the Salud! Grant for Care process more frequently than males. While women make up only about 2% of the primary worker population, they received about 41% of the Grants for Care given in the 212 Fiscal Year. Salud! offers an increasing number of services to family members of vineyard works. In 212, about half of all grants for care provided went to vineyard workers, the other half going to spouses, children, and other family members of vineyard workers. Children made up about one-third of the Salud! population in 212. However, they received only about 12% percent of the total grants for care given this fiscal year. Salud! Services attributes much of this to the high number of children that have Oregon Health Plan health insurance. Salud! Services works with many community partners to assist vineyard workers and their families in gaining access to valuable resources in their communities: 2 Salud! Clients received High School Equivalency (GED) program information from Portland Community College Rock Creek, and seven individuals are now enrolled and testing for their GED. Approximately 5 families received information on qualifying and registering their children into the Healthy Kids program provided by the Centro Cultural of Washington County. Migrant Education provided countyspecific information about their program to 15 individuals.
