Vital Support Provided to Community Members via PANOW's Community Assistance Program
Project Access NOW continues to work collaboratively with local health care providers, hospitals, payers, Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) and community partners to ensure that patients and members have access to the resources necessary to get and stay healthy.
PANOW Awarded Renewed Funding from Oregon Health Authority
Project Access NOW is pleased to announce that we have been awarded renewed funding for our Community Health Worker program via the Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Equity Grants under the "Public Health Emergency Preparedness" area. Just as health is an expansive term, so is emergency preparedness. We see a well-equipped and healthy population as one prepared to be resilient during a disaster.
