SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	ADDRESSING IDENTIFIED NEEDS: GIFFORD'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE ACCESSIBLE, QUALITY LOCAL HEALTH CARE TO EVERY PERSON WHO WALKS THROUGH OUR DOORS. IN 2018, AS PART OF THE FEDERAL PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, WE PERFORMED A COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN PART THROUGH SURVEYING COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN MULTIPLE AREA TOWNS. GIFFORD HAS STRATEGICALLY WORKED TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY'S NEED WITHIN ITS ROLE AS A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. AREAS INITIALLY IDENTIFIED AS HEALTH PROBLEMS INCLUDE: PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING, NUTRITION/OBESITY, AND DENTAL CARE. THIS UPDATE OUTLINES AREAS OF ONGOING FOCUS IN 2018: PREVENTATIVE HEALTHCARE/ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE: TO FACILITATE AN INCREASED FOCUS ON PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE AND IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE, GIFFORD HAS IMPLEMENTED A NEW PRIMARY CARE TEAM MODEL THAT PAIRS A PHYSICIAN WITH NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS WHO ARE SPECIALLY TRAINED TO HELP PATIENTS WITH PREVENTATIVE AND PRIMARY CARE. SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING: AS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER GIFFORD'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND BLUEPRINT FOR HEALTH TEAM SPECIALISTS OFFER COUNSELING AND ONE-ON-ONE PATIENT CARE AT ALL GIFFORD PRIMARY CARE LOCATIONS. A NEWLY-CREATED ADDICTION MEDICINE PROGRAM, FULLY STAFFED WITH A BOARD CERTIFIED PSYCHIATRIST CERTIFIED IN ADDICTION MEDICINE, AND A LICENSED ALCOHOL AND DRUG COUNSELOR, OFFERS ONGOING SUBOXONE TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX NEEDS, SUBOXONE PROVIDER SUPPORT, EDUCATION, CONSULTATION, AND THERAPY TO HELP PATIENTS REBUILD LIVES DAMAGED BY OPIOID USE DISORDER. OBESITY: GIFFORD'S PRIMARY CARE TEAM HAS LONG BEEN A PROPONENT OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES FOR GOOD HEALTH AND THE PREVENTION OF DISEASE AND OBESITY. BMIS ARE DETERMINED AT ANNUAL HEALTH SCREENINGS AND PATIENTS ARE GUIDED BY PROVIDERS AND GIFFORD'S REGISTERED DIETITIANS ON HEALTHY DIETS AND PORTION CONTROL. DISCUSSIONS IN SUPPORT GROUP SETTINGS (SUCH AS DIABETES AND OTHER CHRONIC CONDITIONS) OFTEN FOCUS ON HEALTHY CHOICES TO REDUCE AND PREVENT DISEASE. PATIENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. IN 2019 GIFFORD WILL BEGIN A PARTNERSHIP WITH VEGGIE VAN GO, A PROGRAM OF THE VERMONT FOODBANK. ONCE A MONTH ALL AREA COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH ANY FOOD INSECURITIES WILL BE INVITED TO GIFFORD TO PICK UP VEGETABLES AS NO COST. DENTAL CARE: GIFFORD'S FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER DESIGNATION HAS BROUGHT RESOURCES THAT HELP US SUPPORT LOCAL DENTISTS AS THEY STRIVE TO BETTER CARE FOR THE UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED. TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF DENTAL HEALTH, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH HEALTHHUB, A LOCAL NONPROFIT WITH A MOBILE DENTAL TRAILER. THE TRAILER TRAVELS TO A VARIETY OF LOCATIONS, INCLUDING AREA SCHOOLS AND GIFFORD, TO OFFER SCREENINGS, X-RAYS, EXAMINATIONS AND CLEANINGS BY A DENTAL HYGIENIST.
