Welcome to the MAAP Website.                    

The rebirth of MAAP continues as we carry on multiple efforts to expand and improve our delivery of health and social services.

We are excited to report that plans to build a new, state-of-the-art health clinic at our 4241 Florin Road site have progressed significantly.  We project that we will 'break ground' in September/October 2008, and that the clinic will open by January/February 2009.  In addition to providing primary health care for adults and children, the clinic will offer internal medicine, family practice, OB/GYN, pediatric, women s health, dental, mental health, hearing, and vision services.  Additionally, MAAP will implement innovative and paperless (green) electronic health records technology as part of our efforts to provide the highest level of quality care to the community.

As a result of the strong partnership we have developed with Mercy/Catholic Healthcare West, MAAP will maintain our health clinic at 7600 Hospital Drive, located next to Methodist Hospital near Hwy. 99 and Bruceville Road.  We are working together to develop a model delivery system to facilitate the MAAP clinic with serving uninsured, non-crisis patients who arrive at Methodist Hospital's emergency room.  MAAP and Mercy/CHW are committed to providing preventive primary care services and replicating these systems in other underserved areas of the county.

We are very pleased to report that we are advancing with our efforts to increase and enhance our substance abuse, mental health, HIV, drinker driving, homeless, and residential treatment programs.  We have added new professionals to our staff and new sites to better serve our clients.  MAAP is supporting its staff in seeking training, credentialing and certification beyond what is required, and will provide cross-cultural and cultural competency training to all staff persons.  We are also developing and implementing goals and standards to hold our agency and staff accountable to higher standards.   All of these efforts continue to be taken to ensure that the many health needs of South Sacramento's African-American, Asian, Latino and other ethnic communities are being effectively met.

MAAP is also proud to report that our Prisoner Reentry Initiative received a national award Champion of Compassion from the U.S. Department of Labor for outstanding service in training and placing recent parolees in jobs.  The New Choice Program has helped up to 300 individuals to date has maintained a recidivism rate that is one-third the national average.
