About This Cause
When Dr. Samuel Rodgers – the first Board-certified African-American OB/GYN in the Kansas City area - founded the Health Center in 1968, he had a vision and a passion: to ensure everyone has access to quality health care, regardless of ability to pay. That vision and passion are as fresh and vibrant for us today as they were a half-century ago. In honoring Dr. Rodgers’ vision, the Health Center provided $5,212,962 in unreimbursed health care for our patients in 2017. Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center fulfills its mission by providing comprehensive primary care in the areas of adult and senior medicine, well-woman and obstetrical care, pediatric and adolescent health, behavioral health, and oral health services for our community's most medically and socially vulnerable families. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (a national certification organization committed to improving the quality of health care) recognizes Samuel U. Rodgers as a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home; we provide team-based, patient-centered care, which actively engages the patient and family in developing the care plan, teaching self-management skills, and ensuring follow-up care. In addition, Samuel U. Rodgers is a Federally Qualified Health Center (the very first in Missouri and only the fourth FQHC in the entire country to be accorded that designation). As part of our full complement of out-patient services, we provide Health Home services to coordinate care for individuals who have chronic conditions. We also provide on-site Women, Infant & Children (WIC), imaging, pharmacy, and laboratory services. We have MO HealthNet (Medicaid) enrollment specialists, and Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace Certified Enrollment Counselors available to assist patients. Rodgers Health provides free transportation and interpretation services to patients. In addition, we bring community outreach and education programs to the greater Kansas City community. In 2017, Rodgers Health cared for 23,187 individuals. • 7,901 of those patients – over 34% - had no insurance coverage at all. • 8,918 of our patients in 2017 – 38.46% - were children. 9% of those children had no insurance coverage. • 1,231 of our patients – or 5.4% - were seniors. • For at least 34% of our patients – 7,821 individuals - a language other than English is their primary language. In 2017, we provided culturally- and linguistically-competent services in 38 languages. • 17,309 of our patients – 74.6% - were minorities. • Only 4% of our patients (1,030 individuals) had annual household incomes greater than 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines, which are currently set at $50,200 for a family of four.
