The Southern Marin Multidisciplinary Team

(MDT)

A working model of collaborative efforts of service providers working

primarily

in Southern Marin.

The Multidisciplinary Team model was implemented in 2006. The strategy

for formalizing the Multidisciplinary Team approach for Southern Marin

was based on the ideology of “Best Practices”.

It includes the development and creation of solutions to common

problems of poverty and social exclusion. Programs, services, and

methodologies (wraparound services) are tailored to the underserved and

not-served diverse populations.

The Southern Marin Multidisciplinary Team (MDT)

MDT takes wraparound services and traditional case management to the next level.

We are unique in that traditional multiservice delivery is coordinated through a post

assessment case manager system. Our MDT milieu system provides the

assessment (regardless of intake ownership) to be brought before the team,

discussed and strategies and timelines designed and implemented with each team

member identifying their role and goal and sharing progress.

ImpactThe MDT brought service providers together to provide unduplicated, shared

resources and appropriate wrap around case management to children and families.

In FY 2011/2012 the MDT was used by service providers to support 150

individuals and families. The MDT model of early identification of risk factors,

education and prevention strategies by service providers will influence the quality of

life across multiple areas of functioning, including housing, economics, health and

education.

OUR MISSION: The Marin City Health

& Wellness Center is committed to

improving the health and wellness of

low-income residents of Marin City and

Southern Marin by operating a state of

the art and culturally competent

community health center in Marin City.

The Marin City Health & Wellness Center

(also known as Marin City Clinic) is

dedicated to the improvement of the

health status and overall quality of life for

Marin City and Southern Marin residents.

The clinic provides basic medical and

healthcare services and also develops

and implements prevention strategies that

reduce the presence and severity of

disease while encouraging lifestyle

choices that promote health and wellness.
