How will your clinic celebrate Safety Net Clinic Week 2013?

Safety Net Clinic Week Project Coordinator, Amber Burkhart, is here to help you get the most out of the fourth annual Safety Net Clinic Week, August 19-23, 2013! Amber Burkhart is an upcoming senior at Colorado College, majoring in International Political Economy and minoring in Global Health. She is passionate about access to health care and has taken opportunities to advance her knowledge on the issue both nationally and internationally. She spent the last semester living in New Delhi and studying India’s public health care system. Amber is also a member of the health organization GlobeMed, which helps increase the visibility of health issues on the Colorado College campus. She is excited to join ClinicNET as their Summer Public Interest Fellow. 

Sponsored by ClinicNET and the Colorado Rural Health Center, Safety Net Clinic Week 2013 will illuminate the important role your clinic fills in Colorado’s health care safety net! Is your clinic interested in hosting public officials or business leaders for a site-visit? How about hosting an open house? Do you already have an event or activity planned that could be highlighted by Safety Net Clinic Week? Seize this opportunity to celebrate an aspect of your clinic such as your volunteers, new programs or services, and your successes!  Our Safety Net Clinic Week “toolkit” will be posted very soon!  The “toolkit” will include fact sheets, flyers, logo and templates for press releases, letters to the editor, invitations for site-visits, and governmental proclamations.
