Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè dènyèman te resevwa twa sibvansyon nan vil Scranton kòm yon pati nan yon distribisyon fon federal pou ankouraje rezidan yo rekiperasyon apre pandemi COVID-19 la.
Scranton te bay yon total anviwon 1 milyon dola nan sibvansyon byennèt bay prèske de douzèn òganizasyon san bi likratif. Ofisyèl vil yo te konsantre seri sibvansyon sa a sou twa kategori: prevansyon surdozaj dwòg, sante konpòtmantal ak prevansyon vyolans, ak byennèt.
Wright Center – yon founisè swen sante prensipal ak sèvis prevantif ki baze nan Scranton – aktif nan tout twa kategori ki vize yo e yo te chwazi pou l resevwa yon sibvansyon $145,000 konbine. Òganizasyon an pral enjekte resous piblik sa yo nan twa pwogram kontinyèl pou benefisye pasyan yo, founisè swen sante yo ak pi gwo kominote a.
The first award, to be used for overdose and prevention programs, will enable The Wright Center for Community Health to further engage community partners and patients in the services of its state-designated Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence. A portion of the $50,000 grant will provide community training on the topics of substance use disorder, medication-assisted treatment, and stigma surrounding addiction. Among the intended recipients of the educational sessions are law enforcement professionals, first responders, and government officials. This grant also will assist with long-term recovery support services in the region, which aim to reduce fatal overdoses.
Dezyèm prim $50,000 yo pral itilize pou amelyore pwogram Wright Center for Community Health ki egziste deja pou rezistans ak byennèt. Liy sèvis Medsin Lifestyle li a pral entegre pi plis nan sèvis swen sante prensipal yo, ak entansyon pou angaje plis pasyan ki gen gwo risk nan pwogram ki fèt pou ede yo ajiste konpòtman yo pozitivman. Yon konsantre prensipal yo pral sou trete obezite kòm yon maladi kwonik ki kontribye nan dyabèt, maladi kadyovaskilè, apne dòmi, kansè, ak an jeneral lanmò twò bonè.
The third award, in the amount of $45,000, will underwrite The Wright Center’s participation in a training program conducted by the New York-based Sanctuary Institute to promote employee wellness and create a supportive environment for the benefit of the organization’s workforce, patients, and the broader community. The institute’s training model is seen by many as a needed antidote to the intensified pressure on health care workers and others brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
