Everything that Flagship does is Veteran-centric. Our founding physicians have served, deployed, and have first-hand knowledge of veteran experiences and issues. Flagship Health knows how important peer-to-peer connections can be, so we make it a priority to hire clinicians and staff who understand the military experience.

Flagship Health will coordinate with any of your current civilian, VA, and military specialist physicians. We also offer access to a network of specialists that we trust to provide exceptional care for our patients. Our mission is to provide you with a seamless model of care.

Flagship Health is more than just medical care – we are a place where Veterans can gather in a community setting to find support and camaraderie in all aspects of their lives. Flagship provides comprehensive primary care, lab services, care coordination, integrated behavioral health services, and veteran-centric social service connections. We also work closely with Veteran Service Organizations and help Veterans understand and maximize the benefits they are entitled to.

Our goal is to provide hospice services in the environment that best meets the needs of the individual patient, caregiver, and other family members. To that end, we provide care in whatever setting our patient calls home:

• Personal Home – When possible and desired, we help our patients remain at home during their terminal illness. Whether care is provided in the patient’s home or a caregiver’s home, our team of professionals and volunteers makes sure that the appropriate equipment and supplies are placed in the residence so that it is as comfortable and well-equipped as possible.                  
• Nursing, Assisted, and Independent Living Facilities – When caring for a patient who resides in a nursing home, an assisted living, or an independent living facility, our hospice team complements the services and skills of the facility staff and works with that staff to care for the patient. In addition, we offer our full spectrum of support services to the patient’s family.

The hospice care team that we bring to our  clients and their families includes:

• Nurses
• Nurse Practitioners
• Social Workers
• Therapists
• Patient’s physician
• Hospice medical director
• Home health aides
• Bereavement counselors
• Chaplains
• Volunteers

Here’s how Safe Place works:

Step One – A young person enters a Safe Place and asks for help.

Step Two – The site employee finds a comfortable place for the youth to wait while they call the licensed Safe Place agency. For the greater San Antonio area that is Roy Maas Youth Alternatives (RMYA).

Step Three – An RMYA staff member will talk with the youth to get more information and explain that an SAPD officer can escort them to the RMYA Bridge Emergency shelter.  If the child is agreeable, the RMYA staff will contact SAPD to transport the youth to the shelter. 

Step Four – Once at the Bridge, direct-care staff and counselors meet with the youth and provide support. Agency staff ensures the youth and their families receive the help and professional services they need.

This program is for youth under the age of 18 in need of immediate help and safety.

The families of children with multiple disabilities face unique, daily challenges. They seek knowledge about their child's disabilities and the impact of those disabilities on the child's abilities. They seek to identify realistic expectations for their child. They seek understanding, allies and emotional support.

TEAMability's monthly Parent Forums provide the opportunity for family members to share their knowledge and resources, learn from one another and experts in the field of disabilities, make friends, and become a united voice for their children. Family Centered Parties and Outings strengthen family relationships and are an opportunity for families to relax and have fun.

We serve parents, caregivers, and siblings of children 0-22 years who have combined multiple disabilities - cognitive, communication, sensory, motor and medical fragility.

The Ferrari Kid is a non-profit organization that gives kids coping with cancer and dealing with any illness the ride and experience of a lifetime. We specialize in making kids celebrities for a day. No needles, chemotherapy, or surgery on this day. From the moment they’re picked up in a Ferrari, the excitement begins. They arrive at a celebrity destination of their choice (the spa, mall, games, dining, and Spurs events) and receive a V.I.P experience, complete with red carpet, ropes, paparazzi, and autograph-seeking fans. It’s a day they will never forget and allows them to have fun and simply be a kid.  It’s a beautiful day filled with fun, love, hope that they and their families can enjoy. We include the whole family, because cancer not only causes the patient physical, emotional pain and turmoil, the families suffer too.

Children coping with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
