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.

Kuva yafungura muri Mata 2022, abakozi bo ku kigo nderabuzima giherereye mu majyaruguru ya Pocono bakiriye neza abarwayi barenga 3.500, barimo abarwayi bagera kuri 300 bakoresha Medicare, CHIP, cyangwa ubuvuzi. Itsinda ryita ku barwayi, riyobowe na Amanda Turoni, umuforomo wemewe ufite impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga ya dogiteri mu bijyanye n'ubuforomo, arimo Jamie Ramos, umuhuzabikorwa wa LPN; Samantha Tomala, umufasha mu by'ubuvuzi; na Amanda Granville, umufasha wubuyobozi bwamavuriro.

Mu ntangiriro, icyerekezo cya Turoni ku kigo nderabuzima cyongerewe ingufu n’umubare w’abatanga ubuvuzi bwibanze mu karere. Yakusanyije amakuru, harimo n’imibare y’abaturage, amakuru y’inzobere mu buzima n’abakozi bashinzwe imibereho myiza, anabaza ababyeyi ku bijyanye n’imiryango yabo bakeneye ubuvuzi.

Amanda Turoni, umuforomokazi wemewe ufite impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga ya dogiteri mu bijyanye n'ubuforomo, yavuye, aganira na Nazer Ali wo mu mujyi wa Covington ubwo yabonanaga mu kigo nderabuzima cya Wright Centre kiri mu majyaruguru ya Pocono. Kuva yafungura muri Mata 2022, ikibanza cyakemuye abarwayi barenga 3.500.

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

Ikigo cya Wright Centre for Health Health, Amanda Turoni, umuforomokazi wemewe ufite impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga ya dogiteri mu bijyanye n'ubuforomo, yavuye, aganira na Nora Riley mu gihe cyo kubonana n'ikigo nderabuzima kiri mu majyaruguru ya Pocono. Turoni yavuze ko imwe mu nyungu z’ivuriro rito ari uko abakozi bose babona kumarana igihe kinini n’abarwayi.

Urutonde rw’ubuzima mu Ntara 2024, 19% by’abatuye mu Ntara ya Lackawanna bavuga ko banywa itabi, 17% bavuga ko banywa inzoga nyinshi, naho 33% bafite umubyibuho ukabije. Byongeye kandi, abaturage bagera kuri 7% ntibafite ubwishingizi bw'ubuzima. Kuri buri muganga umwe mu ntara, hari abaturage 1.201. Ibarura rusange ry’Amerika ryongeraho ko hafi 14.2% by'abatuye iyo ntara babaho mu bukene.

Abayobozi bo muri Centre ya Wright bumvise ko abaturage bakeneye, bahisemo ahantu: ubuvuzi bwahoze bufunze nyuma yuko umutanga umwe asezeye muri 2019 undi akimukira mu 2021. Ku nkunga y’amadorari 110.855 yatanzwe n’ishami ry’ubuzima rya Pennsylvania, bo yatangije imbaraga zo gufungura ikigo nderabuzima muri Pocono y'Amajyaruguru.

Muri rusange, ikigo cya Wright cyahaye abarwayi badasanzwe barenga 35.400 mu mwaka w’ingengo y’imari 2023-24, gitanga uburyo bwo kwita ku buryo busanzwe butuma abarwayi boroherwa no kujya ku rubuga rumwe kugira ngo bahabwe ubuvuzi, amenyo, n’imyitwarire y’imyitwarire, harimo no kuvura ibiyobyabwenge ndetse serivisi zo kugarura ibikorwa byo gukoresha ibiyobyabwenge, utitaye kumiterere yubwishingizi, kode ya ZIP, cyangwa ubushobozi bwo kwishyura.

Kimwe n'abarwayi benshi, Nazer Ali wo mu mujyi wa Covington yabanje guhitamo ikigo nderabuzima kuko cyari hafi y'urugo rwe. Yakomeje ari umurwayi kubera ubuvuzi bwihariye butangwa nitsinda ryita ku barwayi.

Ati: "Usibye korohereza aho hantu, Amanda yagize ubwoba". “Afata umwanya wo gutega amatwi no kubaza ibibazo.”

Turoni yavuze ko imwe mu nyungu z'ivuriro rito ari uko we n'abakozi be bashobora gufata igihe kinini hamwe n'abarwayi kugira ngo bubake umubano. Yishimiye kureba umubare w'abarwayi b'iryo vuriro wiyongera mu gihe we n'abakozi be bagiriye icyizere abaturage, avuga ko akenshi agwa mu barwayi igihe akora ibintu kandi akitabira ibikorwa by'umuganda.

Ati: "Ntekereza ko twageze ku byo niyemeje kugeraho mu baturage". Ati: "Turimo dukura neza, ariko turashobora gufata igihe hamwe na buri murwayi kugira ngo tumenye neza."

Pocono's Tomala speaks to patient

Umufasha w’ubuvuzi Samantha Tomala, ibumoso, aganira na Nazer Ali wo mu mujyi wa Covington ubwo yabonanaga mu kigo cya Wright Centre cy’ubuzima bw’abaturage giherereye mu majyaruguru ya Pocono. Ikigo nderabuzima cyijihije isabukuru yimyaka ibiri muri Mata, cyakiriye abarwayi barenga 3.500 kuva cyatangira.

Usibye gutanga serivisi z'ubuzima bw'abantu bose, Turoni yishimiye ibikorwa byo kwegera ivuriro, bikemura ikibazo cy'ibura ry'ibiribwa ndetse n'ibindi bikenewe mu baturage. Yizera ko azafatanya n'andi matsinda kugira ngo bagure ayo maturo, yerekana isoko ry’abahinzi ryegereje ryateguwe na The Wright Centre ku nkunga ya Senateri wa Leta Rosemary Brown.

Biteganijwe ku ya 17 Kanama muri sosiyete ya Jefferson Township Volunteer Fire Company, isoko rizagaragaramo abahinzi n’abanyabukorikori baho, barimo abavumvu, abatetsi, abanyabukorikori, n’abandi. Iri soko rizatanga kandi ibyumba byamakuru bijyanye n’ubuzima n’imibereho myiza y’abaturage, imyigaragambyo n’ishami ry’umugenzuzi w’akarere ka Lackawanna K-9, na tombola y’agaseke kugira ngo bigirire akamaro ikigo cya Wright Centre for Patient & Community Engagement, gitegura ibiryo by’ibiribwa n’ibindi bikorwa by’umuganda kuri Ikigo nderabuzima cya Pocono y'Amajyaruguru no mu karere kose.

Isoko ry’abahinzi, Turoni na bagenzi be bizeye ko rizaba ibintu bisanzwe, ni kimwe mu bitekerezo bishya abimenyereza barimo gushakisha uko ivuriro rikura kandi rigahinduka.

Turoni yagize ati: "Ndashaka gucukumbura igitekerezo cyo gusura ingo kugira ngo ndusheho guhaza abarwayi bacu bakuze ndetse n'abarwayi badafite ambulatori". Ati: "Turashaka ko iri vuriro ryaba umutungo w'ingenzi kuri buri wese."
