YERMO — Silver Valley Unified School District is taking a major step toward supporting the whole family with the launch of a new weekly health clinic, offered in partnership with A Greater Hope.
Beginning this month, the Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports (ECM/CS) program will be available every Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Silver Valley School-Based Health Center, located next to Yermo School.
The service is a free Medi-Cal benefit designed to help eligible individuals and families with complex medical and social needs connect with coordinated care and essential community resources.
What Is ECM/CS?
Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports is a Medi-Cal program that provides whole-person, coordinated care for those who need it most. It’s tailored to Medi-Cal members with a Managed Care Plan who meet criteria for specific populations of focus, including:
- Children with mental health needs, substance use disorder, or those involved in the Child Welfare system
- Pregnant and post-partum adults, especially those enduring racial and social inequality
- Families experiencing homelessness
Services Offered
A personalized care team works with each individual or family to address their unique needs. Services may include:
- Personalized care coordination
- Assistance with housing, transportation, and family needs
- Physical and mental health support
- Connections to community services and resources
The care team meets individuals where they are—whether at home, in the community, or at the school-based health center.

The clinic is open to walk-ins every Friday, or community members can call ahead to schedule an appointment.
