NPCB P2 II.10.1 (SD II.2.10.1) Does your residency program do outreach in the community to find and enroll persons who are not presently in a system of care? Yes __ No __If yes, describe:
Yes:
Dayton Community (We will take a certain percentage of the persons identified in the “Reach Out” program, a community medicine grant that has us working with a population (a mix of Appalachian and Spanish-speaking in a neighborhood called the Twin Towers) that is skeptical of health care system. This is done in concert with the East Dayton Community Health Center and the Mound Academy)
Miami Valley (We have a program called “Reach Out”, which was started by Dr. Ted Wymyslo and Dr. Syed Ahmed. He recruits residents from all of the programs in the area to two different community health centers. For uninsured patients, there is a public “Reach Out” telephone number. We see all comers. We see acute illnesses, do some preventive health care, and try to match persons up with community resources. We will recruit obstetrical patients for the Family Health Center. Our social worker looks at where a patient lives and tries to link them with appropriate community resources)
Mercer (Through a pre-diabetic community-based research initiative)
Natividad (Residents do some outreach for education, but not enrollment)
