Hola and welcome to Casa de Salud, a new path to health and wellness for immigrants in the St. Louis community.

Please click on our events tab to see upcoming activities, and our news page for up-to-date information on Casa.

Also, we are deeply grateful to all of the organizations and individuals who contributed to Casa in 2011.

 

News at Casa

The design firm Arcturis recently completed a design for a proposed community garden on the west side of Casa.  A significant portion of the garden would be tied in to therapeutic work for our mental health clients.  We thank Margaret McDonald, Tim Slazinik, and the whole Arcturis team for its work on behalf of Casa and the people we serve.

Casa, in partnership with People’s Health Centers, has opened a Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) office at our facility. This program provides supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are at nutritional risk.  We are very proud to collaborate with People’s to provide this service.  Appointments can be made by calling 314-772-1633.

Casa was recently featured in Town & Style Magazine.  Read it here.

The 4000 square foot build out of the Casa facility has been completed and is fully operational, featuring five new exam rooms, three mental health consult rooms, and a multipurpose room for community events.  We are grateful to Saint Louis University for making the expansion possible and to the Billiken Construction Crew for its excellent work.

Casa de Salud is very pleased to be working with St. Louis County on its “Communities Putting Prevention to Work” program, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This program will engage in a variety of interventions to decrease secondhand smoke exposure, increase smoking cessation, and reduce smoking initiation. For more information, please visit www.letsfaceitstl.com.

Also, did you know that Missouri offers free help to smokers who want to quit using tobacco? The Missouri Tobacco Quitline provides counseling, information, and referrals, as well as personal coaching and access to online discussion forums with others who are trying to quit. The Quitline number is 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669). You can access this information in Spanish. All Spanish speaking callers are routed to a Spanish speaking Quit Coach. Don’t wait another day to improve your health and the health of the people around you. Call today!
