LE BONHEUR'S CHANGING HIGH-RISK ASTHMA IN MEMPHIS THROUGH PARTNERSHIP (CHAMP) PROGRAM

COMPREHENSIVE HIGH-IMPACT HIV PREVENTION PROGRAMS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS - METHODIST LE BONHEUR COMMUNITY OUTREACHCOMPREHENSIVE HIGH IMPACT PREVENTION (CHIP) THE GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT FOR THIS APPLICATION IS THE MEMPHIS TRANSITIONAL GRANT AREA (MEMPHIS TGA), WHICH IS COMPRISED OF EIGHT COUNTIES: SHELBY, FAYETTE AND TIPTON IN WEST TENNESSEE; CRITTENDEN IN EASTERN ARKANSAS; AND DESOTO, MARSHALL, TATE AND TUNICA COUNTIES IN NORTH MISSISSIPPI. THE MEMPHIS TGA HAS A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 1.3 MILLION. THE MOST POPULOUS COUNTY IS SHELBY COUNTY (POP. 937,750), WHICH INCLUDES THE CITY OF MEMPHIS, POPULATION 654,876. IN 2016, AFRICAN AMERICANS MADE UP 46% OF THE MEMPHIS TGA POPULATION BUT ACCOUNTED FOR 90% OF NEWLY DIAGNOSED HIV CASES. NEW HIV DIAGNOSES IN THE TGA BY RISK CATEGORY WERE HIGHEST AMONG THOSE REPORTING UNKNOWN OR UNIDENTIFIED RISK (42%) FOLLOWED BY MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (39%), AND HETEROSEXUAL TRANSMISSION (18%). ADDITIONALLY, NEW HIV DIAGNOSES HAVE GROWN AMONG ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS (15-34 YEARS OF AGE), INCREASING FROM 57% TO 63% OF ALL NEW CASES BETWEEN 2012 AND 2016 (SHELBY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, 2017). THE APPLICANT, METHODIST LE BONHEUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH (MLCO), IS A CURRENT CDC CHIP GRANTEE (CDC-PS15-1502). MLCO IS REQUESTING FUNDING TO CONTINUE AND ENHANCE ITS COMMUNITY HIV NETWORK?S TESTING, OUTREACH AND PREVENTION SERVICES FOR HIGH RISK HETEROSEXUAL AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS, TWO MINORITY GROUPS IN THE MEMPHIS TGA MOST SEVERELY IMPACTED BY HIV.

FY 2020 CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER - COMC - ABSTRACT SUMMARY AS NEVADA IS TITLED “THE WORST STATE FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES” AND IS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE NATION’S TOP LOCALITIES HARDEST HIT BY MENTAL ILLNESS AND CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS, CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH A FAILURE TO TAKE A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO TREATMENT ARE SEVERE (MENTAL HEALTH AMERICA). THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEDICAL CENTER (COMC) PLANS TO IMPLEMENT AN INTEGRATED CARE MODEL BYWAY ESTABLISHING A CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIOR HEALTH CENTER (CCBHC) TO MEDIATE A FRAGMENTED SYSTEM OF COLLABORATIVE SERVICES. NEARLY 100,000 OF THE MOST IMPOVERISHED NEVADANS RESIDE WITHIN A 6-MILE RADIUS OF COMC, IDENTIFIED AS THE AT-RISK COMMUNITY AND CATCHMENT AREA. THE PROJECT, THE COMC CCBHC, INTENDS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE AND COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES TO AT LEAST 2800 FY1 INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE CATCHMENT AREA AND SERVE AT LEAST 4200 INDIVIDUALS DURING THE SECOND YEAR OF GRANT FUNDING. PROJECT GOALS INCLUDE: OBTAINING CCBHC CERTIFICATION, INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE AND COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE CATCHMENT AREA, EXECUTING AN INTEGRATED CARE MODEL, CREATING AN EFFECTIVE CRISIS RESPONSE MODEL AND DEVELOPING PROGRAM EFFORTS TO ENSURE INCREASED ACCESS AND CONTINUITY OF CARE FOR SPECIALTY POPULATION. MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: CONDUCTING PATIENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT EACH FISCAL YEAR END AND INCREASING NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES RECEIVING PRIMARY CARE SCREENINGS FOR KEY INDICATORS BY 20%. STRONG EVIDENCE SUGGESTS AN INTEGRATED CARE MODEL IS EFFICACIOUS FOR THE RECOVERY OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. UNFORTUNATELY, ACCESS TO CARE REMAINS A STRONG BARRIER TO CARE FOR THE SNR AND IMPACTS THE PREVALENCE OF UNTREATED MENTAL ILLNESS. NEVADA’S WORKFORCE SHORTAGE, THE STATE’S FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS STRUGGLING TO ACQUIRE ADEQUATE HEALTH INSURANCE ARE CORRELATIVE FACTORS THAT IMPEDE ACCESS TO CARE. THE PROJECT PLANS TO EMPLOY AN INTEGRATED CARE TEAM (ICT), A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT ESTABLISHES TREATMENT PLANS AND BENCHMARKS TO PROVIDE A PERSON-CENTERED, HOLISTIC APPROACH TO RECOVERY. COMC’S CCBHC WILL COLLABORATE WITH DESIGNATED COLLABORATING ORGANIZATIONS TO RESPOND TO BEHAVIORAL CRISES/ACUTE BEHAVIORAL INCIDENCES AND MANAGE AND TREAT MENTAL ILLNESS AND CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. TO ASSIST WITH ACHIEVING RECOVERY STATUS, THE ICT WILL IMPLEMENT THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBPS) AS DEEMED NECESSARY: COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT), SCREENING, BRIEF INTERVENTION, AND REFERRAL TO TREATMENT (SBIRT) AND MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING. SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS ARE IMPERATIVE TO CONTINUED CARE. A COMPREHENSIVE QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN WILL ENSURE COMPLIANCE TO QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES AND GRANT REQUIREMENTS; PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES WILL OPERATE AS QUALITY SERVICE INDICATORS. DIVERSIFIED FUNDING SOURCES, TO INCLUDE MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENTS, WILL CONTRIBUTE TO PROGRAM SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS. BY HIGHLIGHTING MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT AS AN EQUAL COMPONENT TO OVERALL HEALTH AND IMPLEMENTING AN INTEGRATED CARE SYSTEM, BARRIERS TO ADHERING TO IMPROVED HEALTH OUTCOMES WILL DIMINISH, ULTIMATELY IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF NEVADANS.

**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ADDRESS RISING FOOD SECURITY NEEDS AMONG NAVAJO INDIVIDUALS AND ENHANCE THE RESILIENCE OF FOOD AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS IN THE NAVAJO REGION. NAVAJO NATION HAS FACED DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH RATES OF COVID, PROFOUNDLY IMPACTING ON INDIVIDUALS AND HOUSEHOLDS, AS WELL AS FOOD AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS. COVID-19 HAS CAUSED PROFOUND DISRUPTIONS IN HEALTHCARE DELIVERY AND ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD, PARTICULARLY DUE TO THE VAST RURAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NAVAJO NATION.WITH GUSNIP SUPPORT, OUR ORGANIZATION - COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PATIENT EMPOWERMENT - HAS SUPPORTED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NAVAJO FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRESCRIPTION PROGRAM (FVRX) IN 14 HEALTHCARE FACILITIES, 2 COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH PROGRAMS AND 26 STORES CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. SINCE THE PANDEMIC ONSET, MANY NAVAJO PARTNERS HAVE EXPRESSED APPRECIATION OF OUR PRODUCE PRESCRIPTION PROGRAM (PPR) AS A VITAL RESOURCE FOR HOUSEHOLDS NAVIGATING COVID. GUSCCR WILL EXPAND THE FVRX PROGRAM, ALLOWING US TO EXPAND ENROLLMENT ELIGIBILITY AND INTRODUCE FLEXIBLE AND VIRTUAL SYSTEMS FOR PROGRAM DELIVERY AND EVALUATION. THIS PROPOSAL IS HIGHLY ALIGNED WITH GUSCCR OBJECTIVES BY PROVIDING IMMEDIATE AND CRITICAL SUPPORT TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SUPPORTING PARTNERS - HEALTH CARE FACILITIES, STORES, GROWERS - TO ACHIEVE LONG-TERM RECOVERY AND CROSS-SECTOR SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING.

CAROL M. WHITE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

THE PURPOSE IS TO REACH, EDUCATE, AND SUPPORT HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED PRODUCERS, INCLUDING SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED, LIMITED RESOURCE, AND BEGINNING FARMERS IN LA, MO, AND MS.

HOMELESS VETERANS (HVRP)

BOTH HISTORICAL AND PRESENT-DAY FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO HIGH RATES OF FOOD INSECURITY INNAVAJO NATION. LONG-STANDING HISTORICAL POLICIES, INCLUDING MILITARY DESTRUCTION OF LOCAL NATIVEFOOD SOURCES AND DIVERSION OF WATER SOURCES, HAVE UNDERMINED TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES.1VAST GEOGRAPHY (27,000 SQUARE MILES) AND LIMITED INFRASTRUCTURE (78% OF PUBLIC ROADS AREUNPAVED) POSE FORMIDABLE BARRIERS TO FOOD ACCESS. WITH ONLY 13 GROCERY STORES ON THERESERVATION, IT IS COMMON FOR NAVAJO RESIDENTS TO DRIVE 400 MILES ROUND TRIP TO BUY FOOD.FINALLY, OPPORTUNITIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARE FEW: 43.6% LIVE BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTYLINE 3 AND 64%-70% OF INCOME GENERATED WITHIN NAVAJO NATION IS SPENT OFF-RESERVATION, WITH ASIGNIFICANT PORTION SPENT ON FOOD.COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PATIENT ENGAGEMENT (COPE) WORKS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TOUNDERSTAND HOW FOOD INSECURITY AFFECTS LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS.FROM 2012 TO 2014, COPE PARTNERED WITH NAVAJO COMMUNITY HEALTH REPRESENTATIVES (CHRS) TODESIGN AND CONDUCT 250+ SURVEYS, 30 IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS, AND A DOZEN STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS;FINDINGS REVEALED THAT MOST FAMILIES TRAVEL MORE THAN ONE HOUR TO BUY GROCERIES, AND A QUARTER OFFAMILIES (26%) ONLY SHOP ONCE A MONTH. A MAJORITY OF HOUSEHOLDS (57%) INDICATED THEY WEREUNABLE TO ACCESS ENOUGH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, WITH REASONS FOR LACK OF ACCESS REPORTED AS HIGHCOST (66% OF RESPONDENTS) AND DIFFICULTY KEEPING PRODUCE FRESH (61%). THESE FINDINGS ALIGNWITH PUBLISHED DATA INDICATING THAT 75% OF NAVAJO HOUSEHOLDS MAY FACE FOOD INSECURITY. AS ARESULT, MANY NAVAJO RESIDENTS RELY INSTEAD ON LOW-COST, SHELF-STABLE, HIGH-CALORIE FOODS.UNRELIABLE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS IS DRIVING UP RATES OF OBESITY, DIABETES, AND CARDIOVASCULARDISEASE ACROSS NAVAJO NATION. THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) CLASSIFIESNAVAJO NATION AS A FOOD DESERT. COMPARED TO 9.3% OF THE OVERALL US ADULT POPULATION, ONE INFIVE NAVAJO ADULTS (APPROXIMATELY 25,000 TOTAL) HAS DIABETES, ANDA FURTHER 75,000 ARE PREDIABETIC.9,10 CONSISTENT ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD IS CRITICAL TO ADDRESSING THESE PUBLICHEALTH PROBLEMS, PARTICULARLY FOR NAVAJO YOUTH WHO ARE FACING SOME OF THE HIGHEST RATES OFTYPE 2 DIABETES IN THE COUNTRY. THIS IS OF PARTICULAR SALIENCE AS 50% OF THE POPULATION OFNAVAJO NATION IS UNDER 29 YEARS OF AGE, AND 20% ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 10-19 YEARS,REPRESENTING THE LARGEST AGE GROUP.13IN RESPONSE TO THESE PUBLIC HEALTH THREATS, THERE HAS BEEN GROWING MOMENTUM AMONG LEADERS AND COMMUNITY ADVOCATES TO STRENGTHEN FOOD SYSTEMS AND PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN NAVAJO NATION. SINCE 2014, COPE HAS PARTNERED WITH 14 HEALTHCARE FACILITIES, TWO COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH PROGRAMS AND 26 STORES TO IMPLEMENT THE NAVAJO FVRX PROGRAM. THIS IS THE FIRST FVRX PROGRAM IN A RURAL NATIVE COMMUNITY. WHOLESOME WAVE (FOUNDED BY GUS SCHUMACHER)HAS PROVIDED AND CONTINUES TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO COPE FOR PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION.BUILDING ON EXISTING FORMAL AGREEMENTS WITH NAVAJO AREA INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES, WE APPROACHEDCLINICAL SITES TO EXPLORE THEIR INTEREST IN OFFERING FVRX AT THEIR SITES. ALL SITES AGREED TO PARTICIPATE,FORMING PROVIDER TEAMS AND IMPLEMENTING FVRX. COPE HAS ALSO BEEN APPROACHED BY TRIBAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AND HOME VISITATION PROGRAMS. IN TOTAL, WE HAVE TRAINED 17 TEAMS THAT OFFER FVRX PROGRAMS TO NAVAJO FAMILIES.THE PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT PROVIDER TEAMS MUST:INCLUDE MATERNAL/CHILD HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND HEALTH PROMOTION SPECIALISTS; ANDHAVE LEADERSHIP APPROVAL (E.G. DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR) TO DELIVER FVRX.TO CONTINUE FVRX, TEAMS MUST MEET PROGRAM STANDARDS INCLUDING: SUCCESSFUL PARTICIPANTENROLLMENT AND RETENTION; MONTHLY HEALTH PROMOTION SESSIONS AND VOUCHER DISBURSEMENTS; ACTIVETEAM PARTICIPATION IN REGIONAL FVRX MEETINGS; AND TIMELY COLLECTION OF EVALUATION DATA.A KEY FACTOR FOR FVRX SUCCESS HAS BEEN EMBRACING LOCAL STORES AS VALUABLE ASSETS IN THENAVAJO FOOD SYSTEM. BECAUSE THEY ARE OFTEN THE ONLY FOOD SOURCE FOR MILES, LOCAL STORES CAN BEPROFOUND DRIVERS OF POSITIVE CHANGE. AMONG 22 MANAGERS SURVEYED IN AN EPI-AID REPORTAUTHORED BY THE NAVAJO NATION AND CDC, 91% WERE INTERESTED IN OFFERING MORE HEALTHY FOODS,BUT DESCRIBED BARRIERS OF LIMITED SUPPLIERS AND LOW CONSUMER DEMAND. COPE WORKS WITHRETAILERS (E.G.
