Celebrate Safety Net Clinic Week 20ll!
CLINIC “TOOLKIT”
In an effort to raise awareness of Colorado's health care safety net providers, we encourage your clinic to participate in the second annual Safety Net Clinic Week, August 22-26, 2011. Sponsored by ClinicNET & the Colorado Rural Health Center, the week is devoted to educating the public and policy makers about these vitally important health care clinics - Community-Funded Safety Net Clinics (CSNCs) and federally certified Rural Health Clinics (RHCs.) We have created a “toolkit” to help clinics participate in Safety Net Clinic Week 2011. Included in the “tool kit” are many easily customizable pieces, click on each to open:
· Safety Net Clinic Week Short Overview and Logo (content for your website, blogs, social media, newsletters, email signatures...)
· Letter to the Editor (for submission to your local paper)
· Safety Net Clinic Week Invitation (consider inviting city, county, or state officials and local business and community leaders to visit your clinic during Safety Net Clinic Week. *see helpful links below)
· Safety Net Clinic Week Fact Sheet (include with any invitation extended and in addition to specific information about your clinic, use as speaking points during Safety Net Clinic Week)
· Safety Net Clinic Week Press Release (submit to your local media.)
· Governmental proclamation (request a proclamation from your city and/or county)
ClinicNET and the Colorado Rural Health Center will be doing a general statewide press release and extending invitations for site-visits to our congressional delegation and targeted outreach to certain state legislators and other officials. Please let us know if you do schedule any visits for Safety Net Clinic Week. We would like to provide you with further support for visits.
