On April 10th, Centennial AHEC hosted the last virtual session of the 2022-23 HOPE Program. Samantha Vernon, MPHc, the program coordinator at Centennial AHEC presented Health Literacy to high school students statewide. They learned about health literacy, why it's important, building health literacy in community health programs, and how health literacy impacts patient services in healthcare. The students also participated in an interactive activity by drawing a Mr. Potato Head using medical, anatomical, and scientific terms.
Eligible students were invited to apply to the COAHEC HOPE Institute. It is a free week-long event whereby students receive healthcare education first-hand at the CU Anschutz Medical Center.
We want to thank all our Colorado high school students who participated in the 2022-23 HOPE Program!

We were recently asked by some of our community partners to provide training on healthcare privacy (including HIPAA) for non-medical partners (of course, our health care partners are also welcome to attend), how to access records from Axis Health System, and Requests for Information.
|
We are inviting you to a free training with our Legal and Compliance team on the rules around the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the sharing of client and patient information among non-medical providers, using Requests for Information (ROI), and how to get records from Axis Health System. We will offer two in-person opportunities to attend this training at the Durango Public Library, 1900 E. 3rd, Durango, on Wednesday, May 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and again from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m.(you only need to attend one of the sessions). While we encourage you to attend one of these sessions in person, we will be providing a ZOOM option.

We will cover the following topics and will allow time for further questions,
|
- HIPAA, Privacy Rule, “exceptions,” including law enforcement/judicial
- Security Rule, HITRUST, & Encryption
- 42 CFR Part 2
