The Great Mines Health Center in Potosi, Missouri, addresses the myriad of health care needs in an economically distressed area with an uninsured population of nearly thirty-eight percent. Relying heavily on the nurse practitioner model we are filling in the gaps of health care needs in our community. Working closely with the Missouri Primary Care Association and the Missouri Division of Health and Senior Services with funding from a variety of sources including Missouri Governor Matt Blunt and the Missouri Foundation for Health as well as federal 330 funding, the Great Mines Health Center is proving itself a worthy model for health care nationwide, especially with the uninsured and underinsured population. With governance by a local board consisting of over fifty percent users of the facility we have the ability to address unserved needs and other needs as they arise.... 41738@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_SN_3412.html?rev=29022 <p>S. 3412 would achieve access to comprehensive primary health care services for all Americans and to improve primary care delivery through an expansion of the community health center and National Health Service Corps programs.</p> <h2 id="toc4"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc5"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to update the status of the bill!)</p> <!-- Leave in the 'status' tags if you want the latest reported status from THOMAS automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc6"> Points in Favor </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to show why the bill should pass!)<br /> <!-- First editor: Go ahead and take out the sentence in parentheses, and this notice! --> </p> <h2 id="toc7"> Points Against </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to show why the bill should not pass!)<br /> <!-- First editor: Go ahead and take out the sentence in parentheses, and this notice! --> </p> 29022@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 01 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_SN_3412.html?rev=29023 <p>S. 3412 would achieve access to comprehensive primary health care services for all Americans and to improve primary care delivery through an expansion of the community health center and National Health Service Corps programs.</p> <h2 id="toc8"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc9"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 7/31/2008: Referred to Senate committee.
