COAL MINERS' CLINIC - Applicant Organization: Northwest Community Action Programs of Wyoming, Inc. Type: Private Non-profit Address: PO Box 158, Worland, WY 82401 Black Lung Office Address: 2240 Coffeen Ave, Suite A, Sheridan, WY 82801 Service Area I: Wyoming, Montana, Utah, North Dakota Funding Amount Requested: $437,129 Project Director: Sarah Salveson-Jones, Program Director Contact Numbers: Phone: (307) 672-0046 Fax: (307) 673-4957 E-Mail Address: blsheridan@bresnan.net Website: nowcapblacklung.org POPULATION:. The population in the area we serve includes approximately 20,000 active and retired coal miners and coal transportation workers who are or were employed in our nation’s coal mines and railroads. The demographic in the area we serve is a majority of Caucasian ethnicity according to census data. Most of the coal miners are men, with a small percent of women. SERVICE AREA: Service Area I consists of the entire states of Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and North Dakota. The locations served by this program present special challenges to services by their sparse populations, vast geographies, political and cultural environment, as well as limited access to medical providers, and to experienced and knowledgeable specialists in well-equipped facilities. NOWCAP contracts with various clinics and doctors throughout our service area so we are an active presence across the entire area. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: The overall goals of the NOWCAP Black Lung Program are to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with occupational coal dust exposure by promoting maximum functionality of our patients’ cardiopulmonary health, improving patient compliance with doctor’s recommendations and safety regulations, decreasing prevalence of Black Lung, and improving quality of life for miners. This program provides cardiopulmonary health evaluation, along with primary and comprehensive health services, health education pertaining to Black Lung, and compensation counseling in the mining and coal transportation populations in our service area. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Through our efforts, we will continue to see a 20% increase of new client participation in our program through screenings or compensation counseling on black lung claims each year. We will see an increase in safety adherence among active miners, an increase in public and healthcare professional knowledge about black lung and related diseases, and improved quality of life for miners through prevention and pulmonary rehabilitation.
