Tribe had “Eggstra” Special Easter Fun

The Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe

hosted their annual Easter Egg Hunt

on Sunday, April 1. They celebrat-

ed Easter with a Community Break-

fast, 5K and an Easter Egg Hunt.

The Easter weekend began with

the Community Breakfast which

was held at the Senior Center. The

5K walk started at 8:00 a.m. with

participants from all ages. The

route began in front of the Educa-

tion Center and followed a scenic

loop down Agency Road to Reser-

vation Road, turning onto Hicks

Road and back to Mission Road.

William Dick was the first to cross

the finish line. Following the 5K,

hundreds of Easter eggs decorated

the field for children to take a crack

at an egg hunt. There was special

hunts for different age groups as

well as prizes, and activities, which

made this a perfect event for your

entire family. At the egg hunt they

brought the lucky children who

found prize eggs to the Arbor Area,

where they won a prize. There were

4 age classes where children could

win a prize and even 1 age group

for adults to win. The entire event

was a knockout!

We would like to pass on a huge

thank you to all the kids, parents,

volunteers and staff for supporting

this event and making it such a spe-

cial family day out.

Kids run to find as many Easter eggs as they can in hopes to find the prize eggs

Telehealth Program Begins at the FTHC!

Telehealth is the use of secure video conferencing technology

that provides clinical health care at a distance. Telehealth uses

state-of the-art technology specifically adapted for Telehealth, it

helps eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to

medical services that would often not be available in rural

communities. It can also be used to save lives in critical care

and emergency situations.

Steps to a Telehealth Appointment:

1. An FTHC Provider refers an FTHC patient to a Specialist.

2. The Purchase Referred Care Representative (Juanita

George) completes the required documents and forwards the

documents to Renown Telehealth in Reno, Nevada.

3. Renown Telehealth contacts the referred patient to discuss

the appointment and verify that the patient does want to

participate in the Telehealth Program.

4. If the FTHC patient agrees to a Telehealth appointment,

then Renown makes the appointment with the appropriate

specialist.

5. The authorization forms and medical documents are

returned to the FTHC Purchase Referred Care

Representative (Juanita George) one week prior to the

scheduled appointment date.

6. The patient reports to the Fallon Tribal Health Center for

their Telehealth appointment 30 minutes prior to their

appointment. patient still checks in with Patient

Registration, gets a “sticker” and reports to the Medical

Suite for their appointment.

7. FTHC Medical staff will assist the patient and the Specialist

with the appointment. The patient will be able to see and

converse with the Specialist during the appointment The

appointment should not take more than 30 minutes.

8. A camera may be used if the Specialist wants to view the

reason for the patient’s visit (wound, ear, tonsils, and/or

skin, eyes, tongue, or to watch the gait of the patient). The

camera DOES NOT RECORD any portion of the visit.

The camera’s only purpose is for the Specialist to view and

observe any changes in the reason for the visit.

9. Once the visit is complete, if medication is prescribed, the

Medical staff will contact the referring FTHC Provider to

order the medication. Medication will be dispensed by the

FTHC Pharmacy. The Specialist will fax all notes regarding

the Telehealth visit to the FTHC referring Provider within

three days of the visit.

FTHC Telehealth Program:

Improving access to Specialists.

Reducing travel time for specialist appoint

ments. Appointments are at the Fallon Tribal

Health Center.
