LIFT is a health and wellness initiative sponsored by a coalition of community partners. We believe the key to strengthening a community starts with the family. And the easiest way to reach families is through their neighborhood school. That’s why we’re partnering with Fallon Park Elementary School to bring life-changing services to the families who need them most.
Our new website is coming soon. On it you will be able to make appointments, see info about programs, and get in touch with people at the LIFT Center. For now, please call (540) 855-3900 to talk to someone at the LIFT Center. Thank you.
Our vision for the Fallon Park community is: A bright and healthy future in your backyard.
What We Do
Physical and Mental Health and Wellness
Issues with physical and mental health can impact a child’s school performance and quality of life. Carilion Clinic and Carilion Pediatrics will partner with school nurses to deliver routine and sick care using exam rooms inside the school.
Oral Health and Wellness
Oral health is often overlooked due to financial constraints but it plays a vital role in overall health. Delta Dental of Virginia will work with dental providers to offer onsite oral health care, including routine cleanings, fillings and other services.
Financial Health and Wellness
Difficulty with finances can keep a family from being able to invest in their health. Freedom First will provide onsite financial coaching to families to increase their savings, establish or improve their credit, decrease debt and improve overall financial capability.
Coordination of Services
A community health worker will be based in the LIFT center to help students and families coordinate their health needs, such as transportation, access to care/appointments, job training, housing needs and more.
Who Is Eligible
The LIFT program is available to students who attend Fallon Park Elementary School and their immediate families.
