SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Natividad Medical Foundation has been the award recipient of a grant, Song-Brown, for our residency program that supports the employment of substance use navigators (SUNs) that educate and help Natividad patients access evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders with a focus on low-threshold access to medication for addiction treatment (MAT). SUNs conduct outreach and actively identify patients, conduct brief initial assessments, explain MAT programs and services to patients, coordinate appointments for MAT clinics, serve as a resource/coach for program participants and advocate for culture change in the hospital. This grant has been awarded to Natividad Medical Foundation for FY 22-23, June 30, 2022 through June 29, 2023 and supports the hiring of one (1.0) FTE Health Education Assistant for the limited term of July 1, 2022 (or later dependent on approval and date of hire) through June 29, 2023.
For these reasons, it is recommended that your Board approve these actions.
