NAVAHCS will be hosting a ribbon-cutting at the Kayenta Health Center on March 20 at 11 a.m. to mark the opening of the new services, followed by a VA resource event intended to assist veterans with enrollment and benefits.
The expansion of primary care at the Kayenta clinic is part of a NAVAHCS effort to improve access to care and care coordination, according to the announcement. NAVAHCS is hiring healthcare navigators to assist Native American veterans in coordinating care as part of a partnership with the Office of Rural Health, and Kayenta is one of four rural locations that will expand its VA health clinic through the organization this year.
The Chinle clinic had marked its expansion on Jan. 22, and additional clinic expansions are expected in Polacca and Tuba City in 2024.
“We have already received great feedback from Chinle-area veterans about the in-person care we are now providing there,” medical clinic director Steve Sample said in the announcement. “We are very excited to take this next step in ensuring our Native veterans receive the highest level of care.”
