Organization mission: Vista Community Clinic (VCC) provides primary health care and
health education to the community focusing on those facing economic, cultural or social
barriers. VCC operates two teen clinics that serve approximately 700 youth each month
with free, confidential reproductive health visits. The teen clinic is staffed primarily by teens
and serves as a healthcare workforce development opportunity for many local high school
students.
The purpose of the video is to introduce potential teen patients to the teen clinic and
explain what happens when they come in for a visit. It should 1) show the Teen Clinic
environment 2) explain the peer-provider model 3) explain the components of a visit
(check-in, health education, provider visit) and 4) address the core concerns of teens: cost,
confidentiality, transportation. The audience is potential teen patients and potential teen
volunteers and employees. The video will be used by outreach staff in classroom
presentations, place on social networking sites such YouTube, MySpace, Twitter and
Facebook. It will also be used for funding. It will be played on the internet and DVDs.
Vista Community Clinic will make sure that all participants have relevant consent forms
signed. The Teen Clinic is staffed with teen volunteers many of whom would be delighted to
participate in this project.
