PAHCS was awarded $16,795 from the MN Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program for a tele-pharmacy needs assessment and feasibility study for our Belgrade and Eden Valley-Watkins clinics. We requested $19,995, but the program budget was $254,800and they received $588,912 in requests. We will complete the work in time to apply for 2014 grants to implement tele-pharmacy services if determined to be feasible.
We also were informed by the Office of Rural Health and Primary Care that PAHCS has been invited to submit a final grant application for Step 2 of the Rural Hospital Capital Improvement Program to create two inpatient bariatric suites, which is due 3/18/13. Step 2 will be a highly competitive process as the requested funds from the pre-applicants remain far greater than the available budget. Thanks to Jennifer Engen, Rachel Walz and Todd Lemke for their expertise in our grant program success!
