Community Report

2024

The Health Commission is proud of Yellowhawk staff for their continued hard work and dedication to achieving our organization’s vision and mission. [...] As a Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH), we collaborated with the PCPCH program as part of Oregon’s efforts to achieve goals of better health and care. [...] It is a priority of our staff to help our patients develop a management plan that fits the patient’s lifestyle, beliefs, and culture. [...] Laboratory staff invested time in researching new analyzers for Chemistry, Hematology, and Urinalysis testing, in an effort to remain on the cutting edge of instrument technology. [...] Yellowhawk coordinated this event by providing information and infographics on future TSP projects that are part of the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiative. [...] However, the PHNs continued to monitor a variety of communicable diseases with over 25 cases requiring treatment and management. [...] This is a service our community has continuously asked for, and we were happy to be able to have the opportunity. [...] High-quality patient care is always our priority, and in 2023, we saw the highest volume of patients to date! As an accredited clinic, the dental department participated in the Re-Accreditation process for the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). [...] Our Tribal community’s unwavering support and leadership allows Yellowhawk to understand the needs of its community to appropriately address pressing health care issues in Indian Country. [...] A community health improvement plan (CHIP) is developed by and for the community to improve the conditions and environments that impact our health.
