DEPTH: Teen Outreach Program
DEPTH, funded by the TIDES Foundation, promotes educational potential for local teenagers and pre-college students. It includes tutoring, mentoring, and assistance with educational loans, grants, and financial aid. There is also an internship program that provides jobs at the clinic so that students can gain experience in the health services. This program is a collaborative regional project between Mountain Valley Health Center and Hill Country, in order to have as broad an impact as possible for the teenagers in Shasta County.

School-based Mental Health Program

Counselors from Hill Country provide school-based services three days a week, integrating these services into the overall Mental Health Program at Hill Country.

Dental Outreach Program
In the last four years, Hill Country has provided screenings, sealants, exams, and general early childhood oral health services to several thousand children in eastern Shasta County, as well as parent/child oral health education, as part of our effort to provide an oral health home for families. Starting at the age of three and lasting all the way through elementary school, our program strives to establish early health oral care habits that will last a lifetime. A Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice (RDHAP) and assistant take this care to the children and families we want to serve, visiting school sites, day care centers and health fairs. The project has been partially supported by the generosity of First 5 California and First 5 Shasta.

Integrative Health Program
With financial support from the California Endowment, Hill Country is involved in a two-year planning and development process for creating a truly holistic approach to health, integrating acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage, as well as nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle instruction, into the medical, dental and behavioral health care that Hill Country currently provides. This innovative and exciting project will bring more choices to our patients and providers, and enable Hill Country to offer new approaches to the treatment of chronic pain, diabetes, depression and other health conditions.
