Administrasyon Resous Sante ak Sèvis Sante Ameriken (HRSA), yon ajans Depatman Sante ak Sèvis Imen Etazini, te bay Geisinger $2,759,235 pou elaji Pwogram Bous pou Medikaman Adiksyon an atravè yon kolaborasyon ak Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè ak Edikasyon Medikal gradye.
Lajan sibvansyon federal la pral itilize pou ogmante ak ranfòse tretman pou maladi itilizasyon sibstans nan Santral ak Nòdès Pennsylvania.

"Nou rekonesan pou finansman an, ki pral ede nou rekrite ak fòme doktè pou satisfè bezwen pasyan yo ki gen maladi itilizasyon sibstans nenpòt kote pasyan sa yo prezan," te di Margaret Jarvis, MD, Chèf Medsin Dejwe nan Geisinger. "Sibvansyon an vize espesyalman anviwònman ki baze nan kominote a ak telesante, de zòn ki gen plis chans pou popilasyon riral yo ak moun ki pa gen desèvi yo, pandan y ap adrese tout twa priyorite HRSA te site kòm vital, tankou konbat kriz opioid la, transfòme mendèv la ak agrandi sèvis telesante."
“Our local community is in the throes of an opioid epidemic. The Wright Center is dedicated to building a compassionate, highly qualified workforce that understands how to help vulnerable patients most at-risk of suffering from addiction, including pregnant women, the elderly, and veterans. We are grateful for the learning opportunities that will come from our strategic partnership with Geisinger,” said Jumee Barooah, M.D., Designated Institutional Official for The Wright Center.

- Ogmante kantite doktè ki sètifye nan medikaman dejwe ke pwogram Geisinger Addiction Medicine Fellowship pwodui chak ane.
- Expand training opportunities in The Wright Center’s community-based clinical learning environments, including its Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence (OUD-COE), its Ryan White HIV/AIDS Clinic and its network of primary care practices that offer comprehensive, safety-net services including medical, dental, addiction/recovery and behavioral health. GHS addiction medicine fellows will learn with and from The Wright Center’s skilled physician-faculty, including Addiction Medicine board-certified providers; staff trained in OUD-COE best practices; and residents and fellows studying Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Psychiatry, Gastroenterology, Infectious Disease, Dental and Behavioral Health. Fellows will care for patients served by The Wright Center’s OUD-COE and its related recovery support programs, including the Healthy MOMS (Maternal Opiate Medical Support) initiative; contribute to the community’s understanding of best practices in Addiction Medicine for underserved patient populations and their families; and lead Addiction Medicine-focused quality-improvement studies to identify real-time clinical solutions to substance use disorder workflow challenges.
