PMC pursues grants to expand patient navigator role and community programs
Summary
CEO Phil Hofstetter and staff discussed congressionally directed spending applications, a fully funded Alaska Community Foundation Camps Initiative grant, and a proposal to expand a patient navigator to full-time through the Rural Health Transformation Program to assist residents with entitlement programs and health-plan education.
Petersburg Medical Center is pursuing several grants to support program expansion, CEO Phil Hofstetter told the board on March 26. Hoffman (sic) — recorded in minutes as Phil Hofstetter — noted a facility tour by Congressman Begich and submitted congressionally directed spending applications; Katie Bryson reported a fully funded Alaska Community Foundation Camps Initiative grant and pending Rural Health Transformation Program applications.
Staff and board members discussed a proposal to expand patient navigator services through the Rural Health Transformation Program to create a full-time position in Petersburg that would assist with entitlement programs and health-plan education beyond Brandy Boggs' current hybrid role. The Youth Advisory Committee also approved a Sponsor A Skoggie program to help offset tuition costs for families with financial strain.
