The Coquille Indian Tribe operates a Tribal Health Clinic that provides direct health care to Tribal members and other Native Americans living in southwest Oregon. It is the only IHS Health Clinic on the southwestern Oregon coast and only one of two ambulatory clinics in all of southwestern Oregon. This project will help the Tribe build capacity and resiliency for preparing and responding to the challenges and threats of coronavirus. The primary objectives associated with this project include:- Increasing COVID -19 surveillance and epidemiology capacity by deploying a 0.3 FTE Nurse Manager and an temporary external medical unit.- Increasing COVID-19 lab testing capacity by deploying a 0.5 FTE lab technician to facilitate testing and record data.- Increase COVID -19 emergency operations capacity by adding a backup generator to allow the Health Clinic to operate as an emergency management center during times of power outages.
