Grants fuel health care expansion

Posted on by

Two area health care agencies are getting federal grants to create new clinics in Lemoore and Riverdale.

United Health Centers of San Joaquin Valley and the Avenal Community Health Center are getting a total of $1.35 million to increase access to health care in rural communities.

Were excited and pleased to get the grant, said David Phillips, director of community development for United Health Centers of San Joaquin Valley. This is something that the community definitely needs.

Phillips said their grant of $700,000 will be used to create a new center in Lemoore that will include medical, dental, optometry, lab and x-ray services. The new center would be able to serve nearly 8,000 additional patients.

The organization has a little over two years to complete the project. United Health Centers, which is based out of Parlier, already has a Corcoran center in Kings County.

We researched and found that Lemoore is one of the communities with the greatest health-care needs, he said. This grant is going to provide great opportunities for access and quality health care.

Avenal Community Health Center is using its $650,000 grant to develop a new clinic in Riverdale staffed with nine employees that will be able to serve about 2,300 patients.

Were thrilled that we were chosen for the grant, said CEO John Blaine. This is a big plus in supporting the farm community of Riverdale.

The new clinic will offer primary medical care supported by nursing staff. Blaine said he wants a temporary, mobile clinic up and running within four months. Once that is completed, they will work on finding or building a permanent location for the clinic.

I know it will go a long way in providing health care to the community, he said.

Health care act hits home for small businesses

Posted on by

For Marty Smith, co-owner of a small accounting firm in Charlotte, the Affordable Care Act means less money for training and new technology.

For financial adviser Richard Joyce, it means not hiring any more part-time employees, working longer days and filing more paperwork.

And for Rick Seifert, owner of the Pest Control Authority, it means administrative headaches and group insurance premiums potentially three times higher than last years.

None of these small-business owners is subject to the new health laws employer mandate. That provision, which starts in 2015, will require owners of businesses with 50 or more full-time-equivalent employees to offer workers health insurance or pay a fine.

But like many small-business owners, the health care overhaul already has brought complications and higher premiums and a hit to their bottom line.

Small businesses have an outsized effect on the economy: In Mecklenburg County, for instance, 97 percent of all employers have fewer than 100 workers. So their experience with the Affordable Care Act will have a major impact on how the law plays out.

Its been mass chaos and confusion, Seifert said. Everything has changed so fast. I dont even know how to play the game.

Among North Carolina companies with fewer than 50 employees, just under one-third offer health insurance, according to 2011 figures from the Department of Health and Human Services. Those that do so say it helps them attract top talent and encourages employees to stick around longer. But it comes at a price: In general, its their second-biggest expense, behind payroll.

Those companies now face a choice: offer a group medical plan, subsidize employees plans on the new individual exchange, or stop coverage altogether and risk seeing employees walk away.

And according to many small-business owners, the higher premiums are making the last two options more attractive.

Health care leaders strive to connect more with community

NEW BRITAIN Health care change is coming, and whether we like it or not, we want to be leaders of that change, to be proactive rather than reactive.

That is the message from Lucille Janatka, president of Hartford HealthCares new Central Region, which includes The Hospital of Central Connecticut and the MidState Medical Center in Meriden. Janatka is now chief executive of both facilities and retains oversight of VNA HealthCare and Connecticut Senior Health Services.

Introducing her management team this week at HOCC, Janatka stressed that in restructuring, HHC can become a leader in health care transformation while delivering high-quality care efficiently at a lower cost.

HHC made the strategic decision in September to keep ahead of health care changes by creating three regions in the state East, Central and Hartford. Hartford HealthCare, parent organization of Hospital of Central Connecticut, is a health care network with more than 16,000 employees and $2 billion in net revenue.

We wanted to better immerse ourselves in the communities we serve and transform health care delivery statewide, explained Jeff Flaks, HHCs new chief operating officer. As COO he is responsible for the three regions and its system-wide service lines.

Members of the Central Region management team are:

/ Carolyn Freiheit, Hartford HealthCare regional vice president, finance. Most recently, Freiheit was vice president and chief financial officer for The Hospital of Central Connecticut. Before that, she was director of finance at HOCC.

/ Mary Morgan, Hartford HealthCare regional vice president, human resources. Morgan, formerly vice president of human resources at The Hospital of Central Connecticut, joined the former New Britain General Hospital in 1999 and has served in various human resources positions, including director.
