CoF FHP Project Development Specialist VISTA
 
 
 
Fairbanks Memorial Hospital is the sole community hospital serving interior Alaska. The organization conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in 2019 to identify unmet health needs of the area. In 2020, teams were created to collaborate on the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) and meet priorities defined in the CHNA. The VISTA will support development and success of the community partner work teams. There are 4 CHIP focus areas, with a team for each. They are mental health care, senior care, Adverse Childhood Experiences/Trauma, and healthy behaviors. A 5th focus, responding to Covid-19 was added, and each prior team now includes impact and outcomes of Covid-19. Each team aims to improve resources, services, and access to care; particularly for those who are underserved, have unmet needs, and/or who are in poverty or at risk for poverty. Project work includes outreach, managing systems for team communication and process, conducting research, analyzing resources, gathering and reporting data, defining metrics, and evaluating and summarizing best practice models. Project work will focus on senior care and mental health teams. The senior population of interior Alaska has too few affordable safe housing and assisted living options. Similar needs exist for those with mental health needs who are homeless or at risk for homelessness. Each of these teams is focused on building capacity for independent living and supportive services. The project will establish advocacy and awareness efforts, evaluate funding opportunities, and research model programs. The objectives of the role are to 1) understand the FHP CHNA and CHIP, 2) support and increase collaboration of each work team, 3) build capacity of the senior care team focused on low income independent and assisted living, 4) build capacity of the mental health team focused on safe housing for low income individuals with mental health needs.
