What's New at CHCCW

• New Clinical Model: This new model established four separate, but identical, "pods" of clinical care teams. This new system has increased staff efficiency and maximized patient services, resulting in better patient outcomes. Patients now check-in/out, handle financial transactions, schedule appointments, and interact with the same staff members throughout their visit - creating a more patient-centered atmosphere.

• The Health Disparities Collaborative: will spread to include the Cardiovascular Collaborative during Spring 2007. CHCCW was nationally recognized for their outstanding achievements in the Diabetes and Depression Collaboratives for 2005.

• Free Mammograms - women over 40 or with risk factors for breast cancer who meet income guidelines are eligible. This program is provided with funding from the Wyoming Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Contact the Women's Health Coordinator at 233-6015 for more information.

• New Payment Procedures-patients must pay for services or make arrangements for payment before seeing the physician or other health provider. This procedure reduces the time patients must spend in the clinic and better utilizes the time spent waiting to be seen by a provider.
