Resources

The Updated, Expanded PNMC resource directory is now available!

The PNMC used to maintain 3 directories of services: Mental Health, Latino Health Resources and Perinatal Resources, as well as providers listings appropriate to each directory.  This had become a challenge to maintain.  We have now combined all three directories into one.

The resulting database of agencies and providers is available below in two formats: As a searchable database and as PDF downloads. Both formats contain the same information.

Both the Database and PDF's are updated regularly.  These listings are the most current information we have.

We need your feedback and input on this new database.  There is a feedback form in the searchable link below or you can use the link at the bottom of this window.  Please let us know:

• any suggestions for improvement

• any medical providers in the above categories whom we have overlooked

• any information in the database that is incorrect

• any other comments you have on this new format

PDFs of the agency half will be up soon. The links below are to the previous editions of the three separate directories.

• The Resource Directory is a complete guide to health and human services in Rochester, Monroe County.  Sources, descriptions, and contact information are provided for everything from baby items to food cupboards to substance abuse treatment programs.  This directory is updated regularly - the version listed here is the most recent version we have.
• The Latino Health Resource Directory contains information about the health status of the Hispanic/Latino(a)  population of the community and lists health and human agencies that offer Spanish language services.
• The Perinatal Mood Disorders Directory for the Finger Lakes Region contains information and resources specific to Perinatal Mood Disorders. In preparation for the upcoming revisions the background data on Perinatal Mood Disorders has been removed from this directory and is now available as a PDF below.  The PDF file of the background info will remain available permanently.

Note about the Directories:  If you have updated information on an existing listing or have a new listing to be added please e-mail your information to Jennifer van Remmen for inclusion in the next update.  Thank You.
