Past Awardees
Wind River Family and Community Health Care
Wind River Family and Community Health Care (WRFCHC) “Education Excellence Division” is currently developing an in-house training program for Community Health Aides (CHA) to serve the Wind River Reservation, and created a pilot microcredential training within the CHA training focused on promoting maternal and infant health.
12 employees were enrolled in the microcredential trainings that covered topics on family planning, maternal mental health, maternal substance use, and supporting tobacco cessation. Knowledge and skills on these topics increased between pre- and post-course assessments.
Based on this pilot, WRFCHC, plan to incorporate maternal health trainings into a broader CHA Program (CHAP) that they are developing and potentially providing input for developing currriulcum for a CHAP at the national Indian Health Service Office.
Hoskinson Health and Wellness Clinic, LLC
The Hoskinson Health and Wellness Clinic (HHWC) launched a community health communication program to encourage safe sleep practices in parents of infants 0-12 months residing in Wyoming, which disseminated information via multiple media outlets including: 1) books and checklists distributed to parents during pediatric health care clinic visits; 2) clinic waiting room video monitor streaming; 3) online information and checklists via links to the HHWC website; 4) social media outlets, and 5) improved health care access and social support via an established Hoskinson Community Health Coalition (CHC).
HHWC implemented their safe sleep checklist (see the link below) with parents at their clinic for pediatric visits, launched a safe sleep campaign and the checklist online and on social media, and was able to make relevant patient referrals for social support and/or specialty clinics all across Wyoming and Colorado.
