Meet the 2014 Safety Net Clinic Week Coordinator!

Tom Crowe is a senior Biology major at Colorado College. Originally from a small town on the coast of Maine, he has found a new life and home in the Rocky Mountains. Tom is passionate about improving the lives of disadvantaged people in Colorado by supporting the health care safety net. He hopes to use his experience as a member of GlobeMed at Colorado College and his time spent studying health care abroad for improving the lives and capacity of individuals around the state. He is extremely excited for the potential impact he will have as the Safety Net Clinic Week 2014 Coordinator.

A joint collaboration between ClinicNET and The Colorado Rural Health Center, the fifth annual Safety Net Clinic Week will take place from August 18th through August 22nd. This is the perfect opportunity for community safety net clinics to educate their community and leaders about their role providing access to care to low-income, often medically vulnerable, Colorado residents. With the current evolution of health care, and potential unintended realities that come with such monumental change, the importance of highlighting the diversity of the health care safety net in Colorado cannot be overstated. Seize this opportunity to highlight an aspect of your clinic such as your dedicated volunteers, new programs services or partnerships; celebrate successes and highlight your work in our Colorado communities. 

A “toolkit” will be posted next week, so stay tuned! The “toolkit” will include fact sheets, flyers, logo and templates for press releases, letters to the editor, invitations for site-visits, and governmental proclamations.

I look forward to working with you and seeing all that will come from the Safety Net Clinic Week 2014.
