The Kansas Health Education Training Center: caring for the underserved.
Kansas Nurse 2006 March
The State of Kansas was awarded Health Education Training Centers (HETC) DHHS/HRSA, BrHPr Federal funds for the first time in 2002 through 2005. The three-year grant award was under the leadership of the Nurse-Midwifery Education faculty of the University of Kansas (KU) School of Nursing. Federal objectives included: 1. To facilitate interdisciplinary clinical training for health professions students from nursing, medicine, and allied health at targeted underserved communities. 2. To deliver culturally appropriate health care information to underprivileged populations at targeted underserved communities. 3. To conduct continuing education activities for community health workers and health professionals serving vulnerable urban and rural populations. 4. To recruit and mentor high school students from disadvantaged populations to pursue health professions. This three-year state-wide program addressed access to quality health care for underprivileged and underserved populations in select communities to improve health status, through community-based care that is culturally competent, multidisciplinary, sensitive to needs of special populations and augmented by health professions students. This article provides a review of two selected community-based interventions in Sedgwick and Wyandotte counties (addressing BrHPr federal objectives one and two) implemented to enhance care for immigrant pregnant women and underserved patients diagnosed with diabetes, respectively. Also included is a review of literature related to the efficacy and utilization of community based health workers (CHWs) in caring for vulnerable populations.
