Project Overview
Project Overview
APCA has been approached by the State of Alaska to contract and coordinate a Community Health Center Contact Tracing Program. The goal of this program is to increase the pool of community-based contact tracers that can be drawn upon in individual communities and on a statewide basis. This would be in addition to any current CHC patient contact tracing that a Health Center may be undertaking with its own patients.
Why Community Health Centers?
Why Community Health Centers?
CHCs are an important player in the public health infrastructure of our state. They have local knowledge of the community, the gatherings, and the people. For APCA’s Contact Tracing Program, the community and region of the Community Health Center will be prioritized.
