The Wright Center for Community Health will host a week of activities aimed at improving the health and well-being of communities in Northeast Pennsylvania as part of National Health Center Week from Aug. 4-10.

Community health centers represent the largest primary care network in the nation, delivering care to more than 30 million people annually, or one in 11 people nationwide. Of those served, one in three people live in poverty and one in five are uninsured, according to the National Association of Community Health Centers, which organizes National Health Center Week.

Biznisman nan Konte Wyoming, Bill Ruark, te achte ansyen Lopital Tyler Memorial atravè yon patenarya fanmi limite an 2023 e li te kòmanse devlope bilding lan kòm yon etablisman medikal san bi likratif ki rele Wyoming County Healthcare Center Inc.

"Li enpòtan pou gen sèvis medikal sa yo tounen nan zòn nan," te di Sara Ergott, kowòdonatè sansibilizasyon pou Wyoming County Healthcare Center. “Objektif la se fè espas sa a yon sant pou tout kalite sèvis swen sante ki pa fasil aksesib pou moun ki nan rejyon riral nou an. Avèk pèt lopital la an 2021 ak retrèt anpil founisè swen sante lokal yo, gen yon gwo bezwen pou bilding sa a diminye defisi sa yo. Objektif la se ranpli espas la ak kalite sèvis yo mande yo epi, an vire, kreye yon kominote ki pi kontan ak an sante.”

Fanmi Ruark te apwoche lidèchip nan Wright Center nan sezon otòn la pou diskite sou ajoute plis sèvis nan Sant Swen Sante Wyoming County.

Drs. Supriana Bhandol and Ajit Pannu will lead the new location at 312 Boulevard Ave., Dickson City.

The Dickson City location will be open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and offer whole-person primary health services for people of all ages, from pediatrics to geriatrics. In addition to primary care services, including checkups, physicals, screenings, and treatment of common illnesses and injuries, the new community health center will offer community-based addiction treatment and recovery services, including medication-assisted treatment. To make an appointment, call 570-489-4567 or visit TheWrightCenter.org.

The location is the former medical offices of Drs. Cynthia M. Oleski and Giovanni Ramos. After deciding to relocate, the doctors contacted The Wright Center about stepping in so patients would not experience care interruptions.

Sant sante vin yon manm enpòtan nan kominote a

In just two years since its opening, The Wright Center’s health center in North Pocono has seamlessly integrated into the community, with its health center and staff becoming essential parts of the region.

The Wright Center operates a network of community health centers in Northeast Pennsylvania, including a mobile medical and dental unit called Driving Better Health. Its locations offer affordable, high-quality, whole-person primary health services to people of all ages regardless of their insurance status, ZIP code, or ability to pay.

Depi ouvèti an avril 2022, anplwaye nan sant sante nan North Pocono te akeyi plis pase 3,500 randevou pasyan, ki gen ladan prèske 300 pasyan ki te itilize Medicare, CHIP, oswa asistans medikal. Ekip swen an, anba direksyon Amanda Turoni, yon pratikan enfimyè ki sètifye ak yon doktora nan degre enfimyè, gen ladan Jamie Ramos, kowòdonatè swen LPN; Samantha Tomala, asistan medikal; ak Amanda Granville, asistan administratif klinik.

Nan kòmansman an, vizyon Turoni a pou sant sante a te alimenté pa kantite dekline founisè swen prensipal nan rejyon an. Li te rasanble enfòmasyon, tankou demografik kominote a, enfòmasyon pwofesyonèl swen sante yo ak travayè sèvis sosyal yo, epi li te fè sondaj paran yo sou bezwen medikal fanmi yo.

Pocono Practice's

Amanda Turoni, yon pratikan enfimyè ki sètifye ak yon doktora nan enfimyè degre, kite, chita pale ak Nazer Ali nan Covington Township pandan yon randevou nan sant sante Wright Center a nan North Pocono. Depi ouvèti an avril 2022, kote a te okipe plis pase 3,500 randevou pasyan yo.

That grassroots effort resulted in a twofold aim: improving the health and welfare of her hometown while also addressing patients’ needs by holding regular food pantries and clothes closets that provide nutritious foods, seasonal clothing, school supplies, and much more for community members in need.

“We knew that access to high-quality, whole-person primary health services remains a barrier for many in the area, especially in the communities that make up North Pocono,” said Turoni, noting that before the North Pocono health center opened, there were only about 12 primary care doctors in the community. “There was a need for timely, affordable treatment to address the larger issues, including chronic diseases, as well as preventive care and overall health.”

Pocono's Turoni speaks to patient Riley

Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè Amanda Turoni, yon pratikan enfimyè ki sètifye ak yon doktora nan enfimyè degre, kite, chita pale ak Nora Riley pandan yon randevou nan sant sante nan North Pocono. Turoni te di ke youn nan avantaj ki genyen nan yon klinik ki pi piti se ke tout manm pèsonèl yo vin pase plis tan ak pasyan yo.

Dapre Ranking Sante Konte 2024, 19% rezidan Konte Lackawanna rapòte ke yo fimen, 17% di yo bwè twòp, ak 33% obèz. Anplis de sa, apeprè 7% nan rezidan yo pa gen asirans sante. Pou chak doktè nan konte a, gen 1,201 rezidan. Done resansman ameriken an ajoute ke anviwon 14.2% popilasyon konte a ap viv nan povrete.

Konvenki de bezwen kominote a, lidè nan Sant Wright te chwazi yon kote: yon ansyen pratik medikal ki te fèmen apre yon founisè te pran retrèt nan ane 2019 ak lòt la te deplase an 2021. Avèk sipò yon sibvansyon $110,855 ki soti nan Depatman Sante Pennsylvania, yo te konvenki nan bezwen kominote a. inisye efò yo louvri sant sante a nan North Pocono.

An jeneral, Wright Center te sèvi plis pase 35,400 pasyan inik nan ane fiskal 2023-24, li ofri yon modèl swen entegre ki tipikman pèmèt pasyan yo konvenyans pou yo ale nan yon sèl sit pou resevwa swen medikal, dantè, ak swen sante konpòtmantal, ki gen ladan tretman adiksyon ak sèvis sipò rekiperasyon pou maladi itilizasyon sibstans, kèlkeswa sitiyasyon asirans, kòd postal, oswa kapasite pou peye.

Tankou anpil pasyan, Nazer Ali nan vil Covington te chwazi sant sante a okòmansman paske li te toupre lakay li. Li te kontinye kòm yon pasyan akòz swen pèsonalize ekip swen an te bay.

"Anplis konvenyans nan kote a, Amanda te formidable," li te di. "Li pran tan pou l koute epi poze kesyon."

Turoni te di youn nan benefis yon ti klinik se ke li menm ak anplwaye li yo ka pran plis tan ak pasyan yo bati relasyon yo. Li te renmen gade popilasyon pasyan klinik la grandi pandan li menm ak anplwaye li yo jwenn konfyans nan kominote a, li remake ke li souvan frape pasyan yo pandan l ap fè komisyon epi asiste evènman kominote a.

"Mwen panse ke nou te akonpli sa mwen te deside reyalize nan kominote a," li te di. "Nou ap grandi san rete, men nou toujou ka pran tan nou ak chak pasyan pou vrèman konnen yo."

Pocono's Tomala speaks to patient

Asistan medikal Samantha Tomala, agoch, pale ak Nazer Ali nan Covington Township pandan yon randevou nan lokal Wright Center for Community Health nan North Pocono. Sant sante a, ki te selebre dezyèm anivèsè li an avril, te okipe plis pase 3,500 randevou pasyan depi li louvri.

Anplis de sa li ofri sèvis sante prensipal pou tout moun, Turoni fyè de evènman kontak klinik la, ki adrese ensekirite alimantè ak lòt bezwen kominote esansyèl. Li espere fè patenarya ak lòt gwoup kominotè pou elaji òf sa yo, lonje dwèt sou yon mache kiltivatè k ap vini òganize pa The Wright Center ak sipò biwo Senatè eta Rosemary Brown la.

Pwograme pou 17 out nan Jefferson Township Volunteer Fire Company, mache a pral prezante kiltivatè lokal yo ak atizan, tankou apikulteur, boulanje, atizan, ak plis ankò. Mache a pral ofri tou izolwa enfòmasyon sou sante lokal ak sèvis sosyal, demonstrasyon ak Depatman Cherif Konte Lackawanna K-9, ak yon raf panyen pou benefisye Sant Wright pou Patient ak Angajman Kominotè, ki òganize gadmanje manje ak lòt evènman kominotè nan North Pocono sant sante ak atravè rejyon an.

Mache kiltivatè yo, ki Turoni ak kòlèg li yo espere pral tounen yon evènman regilye, se jis youn nan nouvo lide pratikan an ap eksplore pandan klinik la ap grandi ak evolye.

"Mwen vle eksplore lide vizit lakay yo pou pi byen satisfè bezwen pasyan ki pi gran nou yo ak pasyan ki pa anbilansye yo," Turoni te di. "Nou vle klinik sa a vin yon resous kominote esansyèl pou tout moun."

Sant Wright pou klas edikasyon medikal gradye nan 2024

Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education te rekonèt 65 rezidan ak parèy gradye doktè yo pandan 45yèm seremoni anyèl li kòmanse Samdi 22 jen 2024 nan Mohegan Pennsylvania Convention Center nan Plains Township.

Wright Center onore ak rekonèt gradye nan sis disiplin: medsin entèn, 32; medsin fanmi nasyonal, 16; medikaman fanmi rejyonal, 14; maladi kadyovaskilè, youn; gastroenteroloji, yon sèl; ak jeryatrik, youn.

Apeprè 350 manm fanmi, anplwaye, ak lòt moun te asiste seremoni an.

Doktè Humza Quadir, nan Philadelphia, yon lopital ak enstriktè klinik nan Lopital University of Pennsylvania ak Penn Presbyterian Medical Center ki te gradye nan Rezidans Medsin Entèn Wright Center a an 2022, te bay diskou prensipal la. Li sèvi tou kòm yon enstriktè nan Penn's Perelman School of Medicine e li te resevwa diplòm medikal li nan Ziauddin University nan Karachi, Pakistan, nan mwa desanm 2014.

Nan Sant Wright la, Dr Quadir te sèvi nan plizyè wòl lidèchip, tankou rezidan an chèf, vis prezidan konsèy anplwaye kay la, yon manm vòt nan Komite Edikasyon Medikal gradye (GMEC), ak yon manm Komite Kalite ak Sekirite GMEC.

Dr, Isklander pran Selfie ak gradye.

Peter Iskander, MD, yon manm klas 2024 Pwogram Rezidans Medsin Entèn lan, pran yon selfie ak kamarad klas li yo nan 45yèm seremoni anyèl Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education nan Samdi 22 jen, nan Mohegan Pennsylvania Convention Center.

In his keynote address, Dr. Quadir stressed the importance of primary care, community health, and serving at-risk populations. He encouraged the graduates to create a supportive health care environment.

“As physicians, our calling isn’t just about the diagnosis and treatment of diseases; it is also about fostering compassion and service with every interaction,” he said. “Each patient who walks through our doors is not just a case to be treated but a member of a larger community — a community that relies on us for care, compassion, and support. Whether we practice in urban or rural areas, let us remember our responsibility to serve and uplift the communities we call home.”

Other speakers included: Linda Thomas-Hemak, M.D., FACP, FAAP, president and CEO of The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education; Jumee Barooah, M.D., FACP, senior vice president of education and designated institutional official for The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education and a 2013 alumnus of its internal medicine residency program; and Chief Resident Chilsia Shafi, M.D., a 2024 graduate of The Wright Center’s internal medicine residency program.

“Vwayaj Wright Center a te kòmanse an 1977, avèk klas inogirasyon sis doktè rezidan medikaman entèn yo,” Doktè Barooah te di nan diskou li a. “Objektif nòb la se te adrese mank de founisè swen prensipal isit la. Depi kòmansman enb sa yo, nou grandi pou bay edikasyon medikal gradye nan kominote yo soti kòt an kòt, ak rezidan yo ak parèy yo agrandi konesans ak kapasite yo nan pwogram akredite Konsèy Akreditasyon pou Edikasyon Medikal gradye (ACGME) nou an.”

Defi nan edikasyon medikal gradye ak livrezon swen primè kontinye, tankou mank prevwa Asosyasyon Medikal Ameriken an nan jiska 48,000 doktè swen prensipal pa 2034 ak move distribisyon doktè ki asosye ki limite aksè a swen pou anpil moun, li te di.

“Health Professional Shortage Areas are also prevalent, including here in our region, affecting the health and quality of life of our neighbors and friends,” Dr. Barooah said. “These are daunting issues, but ones The Wright Center is working to address thanks to our more than 1,000 alumni, including our 65-member strong Class of 2024.”

Dr. Thomas-Hemak thanked the graduates for their dedication and countless contributions in the delivery of The Wright Center’s noble mission: To improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive health services and the sustainable renewal of an inspired, competent workforce that is privileged to serve.

Doktè Burke prezante Chilsia Shafi ak diplòm
