FISCAL YEAR 2025 EXPANDED HOURS. - LANA‘I COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (LCHC), ESTABLISHED IN 2004, IS A 501(C)3 NONPROFIT AND FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) THAT SERVES THE ISLAND OF LANA‘I. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE HEALTH SERVICES DIRECTLY AND COLLABORATE WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND PROVIDERS, PARTICULARLY FOCUSING ON THE UN- AND UNDERINSURED, LOW-INCOME, AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. LCHC EMPHASIZES SERVING THOSE AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. CONTRARY TO COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS, LCHC OPERATES INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM MR. ELLISON, WHO OWNS THE MAJORITY OF THE ISLAND. WE OWN AND SELF-FUND OUR FACILITY, LAND, AND PROGRAMS. WITH A DEDICATED TEAM OF 69 STAFF MEMBERS, INCLUDING FULL-TIME, PART-TIME EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTED PROVIDERS, LCHC IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY EMPLOYERS ON THE ISLAND. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING INTEGRATED HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES, ACTIVELY INVOLVING PATIENTS IN THEIR CARE, AND ADDRESSING THE UNIQUE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE LANA‘I COMMUNITY. OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH PRIORITIZES COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES, TREATING INDIVIDUALS AS WHOLE PERSONS AND FOSTERING ACTIVE PATIENT COLLABORATION. WE USE EDUCATION AND SELF-AWARENESS TOOLS TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR HEALTHCARE JOURNEYS. SINCE OUR ESTABLISHMENT, OUR PATIENT BASE HAS GROWN FROM 52 INDIVIDUALS IN 2008 TO 2,272 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023, REPRESENTING 79% OF THE ISLAND'S POPULATION OF 2,888. WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE BOTH ONGOING AND EPISODIC CARE TO MEET THE DIVERSE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. FROM DECEMBER 31, 2023, TO MAY 31, 2024, LCHC EXPERIENCED A 2% INCREASE IN PATIENTS AND A 5% INCREASE IN PATIENT ENCOUNTERS, WITH DENTAL SERVICES SHOWING A 3% INCREASE IN MAY. ADDITIONALLY, WE SAW 35 NEW PATIENTS AND A 16% INCREASE IN PATIENT VISITS IN APRIL. TO MEET THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR HEALTH SERVICES ON LANA‘I, LCHC SEEKS TO EXPAND ITS OPERATING HOURS AT 333 SIXTH STREET (LANA‘I CITY, HAWAI‘I) FROM 60 TO 68 HOURS PER WEEK, AN INCREASE OF 8 HOURS (2 ADDITIONAL HOURS IN MEDICAL AND 6 ADDITIONAL HOURS IN DENTAL). EXPANDED HOURS (EH) FUNDING WILL ENABLE US TO EXTEND OUR OPERATING HOURS, THEREBY INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTH CENTER SERVICES TO MEET IDENTIFIED PATIENT AND COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE EH FUNDING WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TIME FOR IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING OUR MEDICAL AND DENTAL WAITLISTS. OUR PROGRAM OBJECTIVE IS TO EXPAND ACCESS AND ALLEVIATE BARRIERS TO HIGH-QUALITY PRIMARY CARE BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SERVICE HOURS. LANA‘I COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER IS SEEKING $500,000 PER YEAR IN HRSA-25-084 GRANT FUNDS, TOTALING $1,000,000 OVER TWO YEARS FROM DECEMBER 1, 2024, THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2026. THESE FUNDS WILL SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS NECESSARY FOR EXPANDED HOURS: • PHARMACIST: 1.00 FTE • DENTIST: 0.60 FTE • DENTAL HYGIENIST: 0.40 FTE • DENTAL ASSISTANT - LEAD: 1.00 FTE • DENTAL ASSISTANT: 1.00 FTE • FRONT DESK REPRESENTATIVE: 1.00 FTE • FINANCE MANAGER: 1.00 FTE THIS FUNDING WILL ENABLE LCHC TO MEET THE GROWING HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE LANA‘I COMMUNITY, ENSURING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO DIVERSE HEALTH SERVICES AND MAINTAINING OUR COMMITMENT TO HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE.
