Regional Health Department – a great resource for direct care
patient without insurance.

events.

further educating women in the community about breast health,

GPRA Best Practices
• Best Practices
• PINK SHAWL POW WOW
• A celebration of survivors and supporters of women affected by
breast cancer in the community. Held annually in October (Breast
Cancer Awareness Month). Pink Shawls are given to survivors and
event has become a large community awareness event making it
“OK” to talk about breast cancer and spread word about importance
of screening.
• Pow Wow has grown to encompass other cancer survivors as well
due to its success
• MAMMOGRAM PARTIES
• Started with a family of related women who all went together to get
mammograms in honor of their mother who died from breast
cancer. Event was spread word or mouth and spurred others to do
the same.
Moving the Bar
GPRA Best Practices
• Best Practices
• EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN’S HEALTH PRACTITIONER
• Women are used to coming in yearly for pap/annual exam and
expect Mammogram as part of that service. Community events have
raised awareness to where women ask for their mammogram
referral instead of health care providers asking them.
• USE OF MAMMOGRAM VAN SERVICE – 4 TIMES PER YEAR
• Cost of transportation to Imaging Center is a barrier to many
women
• Mobile Coach comes 4 times per year, women with transportation
issues given priority – can see about 24 per coach trip
• Clinic pays for gas for coach, Susan G. Komen Grant pays for the
reading fee (by Inland Imaging) and the mammogram fee (by Sacred
Heart Medical Center).

kids at HeadStart, Grade school

where we’ve discussed ways to integrate physical activity into the routine
of the child's day there. Head Start physicals (the 3-4 yo well child visit)
particularly tries to target this issue.

GPRA Best Practices
• Best Practice• We promote “Well Child Clinic” in our clinic practice where part of the
focus is dedicated to discussing the child's ht/wt growth curve, concepts
such as “screen time”, and healthy eating/snacking. Children above the
growth curve are referred for education of parent with Health Educator
• The WIC program addresses trends towards obesity as well just failure to
thrive.
• Our clinic strongly and vocally supports breastfeeding (shown to
potentially decrease childhood and adult obesity) and all our nurses
recently received training to act as lactation consultants. Our clinic has
established an area for women to nurse, and public announces our
support of breastfeeding as a healthy start in life.
• (We received a WA State DOH grant for lactation support this past year so
have been able to provide training for our staff, educational materials, support
supplies for women who breastfeed. etc.)
