In order to provide a more holistic care for our patients, we offer specialty clinics in addition to the primary services that we provide.
Podiatry Clinic
Clínica Tepati works to invite podiatrists and podiatry students into our clinic to treat patients with chronic or acute injuries specifically to their feet. Furthermore, they help patients successfully manage their diabetes and avoid foot-related complications by teaching patients how to inspect their feet daily.
Currently, the dates for Podiatry Clinics vary, however to learn more information about this service, please contact the Executive Administrator, Alex Pulido, at alexpulido@clinicatepati.com
Fitness Class
Clínica Tepati’s “Fitpati” is a fitness program ran by undergraduates Jonathan Barros and Vinay Parmar, who seek to promote health and wellness in a sustainable way for the patients and members of the Tepati community. The goal of this program is to encourage exercise and the movement of the body as a way to improve one’s health and wellbeing holistically. This monthly class is designed to get the community involved in various activity forms and strengthen social ties, thereby reducing stress and improving health!
For more information about this program, please contact Jonathan Barros (jgbarros@ucdavis.edu) and Vinay Parmar (vsparmar@ucdavis.edu).
Legal Aid Clinic
Legal Aid Clinic was started by a passionate undergraduate, Nori Dubon, who recognized how many of our patients could benefit from a legal resource. Two attorneys volunteer their time to Clinica Tepati about once a month and provide our patients with 30-minute long consultations. These sessions are 100% confidential and free of charge to our patients. We work together with our volunteers to foster a safe environment for our patients to ensure they feel comfortable in asking any question they may have regarding legal issues.
If interested in receiving this service, or if you or anyone you know, has further questions about this service, please contact Clinica Tepati at (916) 209-0912.
Counseling and Psychiatry
The Mental Health Committee helps provide emotional support to patients through counseling and psychiatry. Thanks to our preceptors, patients can schedule appointments for in-person or over-the phone visits to acquire resources such as free counseling, medication, and further information on mental health resources and services.
For more information, please contact the Mental Health committee Co-heads: Natalie Chrisman and Citlaly López at tepatimhc@gmail.com. To schedule an appointment, call our clinic phone number at (916) 209-0912.
Pharmacy
The Pharmacy Committee was developed to increase patient access to medication at a more affordable cost. Through various voucher programs, patients receive necessary medicine, such as insulin, at no additional cost. Additionally, an in-clinic supply of diabetes maintenance equipment provides on-site support for diabetes healthcare.
For more information about what medications are covered, please contact the Pharmacy committee Co-Heads: Trishla Mehta and Neha Ramesh
Referrals
Our mission in the Referrals Committee is to provide free or reduced specialty services – that are not already provided by Clinica Tepati–to our patients in Sacramento and surrounding areas. Our caseworkers work collaboratively with outside clinics and other health care facilities to ensure our patients receive the services they need for preventative and health maintenance. Some of our services include: imaging services (CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, ultrasounds, mammograms, etc.), dental, optometry, ophthalmology, cardiology, podiatry, and women’s health services.
For more information on our established services or other inquiries, please contact the Referrals Committee Co-Heads: Samantha Gutierrez, Nathalia Granados, and Lizbeth Monje at ctreferrals@gmail.com.
