The Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC) has received a grant award totaling $1,902,095 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration.
The grant is for a five-year project, entitled “Primary Care Training and Enhancement: Training Primary Care Champions,” and will train at least 20 health care professionals in leadership, team-based health care, practice transformation to value-based care and expanded use of trauma-informed care, according to AFMC.
The healthcare group said it will work with the Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (ARCOM) in Fort Smith and ARcare, a federally qualified health center. The three partners will work to strengthen the primary care workforce and health care in medically underserved communities in rural Arkansas, where many of ARcare’s 42 primary care clinics are located.
