I-co-coordinate naman ito ng mga guro o principal sa City Health Office (CHO) sa pangunguna ni Dr. Ophelia Rivera para sa agarang assessment at treatment sa CHO katuwang ang mga frontliners tulad ng mga doctors, barangay nurses, barangay health workers at iba pa.

Bukod sa Child Health Advocate patuloy rin ang Home Visitation kung saan bumibisita sa mga tahanan si Mayor Belen kasama ang mga health frontliners upang personal na makita at matulungan ang mga residente na may karamdaman nguni’t hindi makapagpagamot dahil sa kahirapan.

Ilan lamang ito sa ‘Alagang Healthy Dagupeño’ programs ni Mayor Belen kabilang pa ang FREE medical services ng CHO tulad ng X-ray, lab tests, CT-Scan, ECG at ultrasound sa Dagupan City Diagnostic Center.
