Safety Net Clinic Week 2015 Updates!

ClinicNET and the Colorado Rural Health Center have requested a Proclamation of Safety Net Clinic Week (SNCW) 2015 from the Governor and we will be disseminating a statewide press release announcing Safety Net Clinic Week 2015 on Aug. 13. Additionally, this week we will be extending invitations to the Governor, our Congressional Delegation, and all State Legislators to visit clinics in their district during SNCW! We will contact you directly if they are interested in visiting your clinic.

Last week, we hosted a webinar about the toolkit and SNCW. If you were not able to tune in, you can listen and view the webinar here! The toolkit is also ready for your use! Included in the toolkit are many easily customizable documents:

• Short Overview of Safety Net Clinic Week
• Safety Net Clinic Week 2015 Logo: use as content for your website, blogs, social media, newsletters, email signatures, etc.
• Sample Letter to the Editor: for submission to your local media
• Governmental Proclamation or Resolution: request a proclamation from your city and/or county
• Safety Net Clinic Week Invitation: consider inviting your city and/or county public officials, local businesses and community leaders to visit your clinic during SNCW
