Twila Mallari, Healthcare Tribal Liaison and Molly Blaney, Healthcare Community Development Specialist, both started at Molina this spring and joined our August Tribal Partners Leadership Council for a formal introduction.

Torri Canda, Innovative Programs Integration Director and Caitlin Safford, Director of Government Relations from Amerigroup, also joined us for a presentation on their Foundational Community Supports Program. There are currently three Tribal partners in the contracting stage to begin this program.

The group was also notified that we were able to schedule Dr. Darryl Tonemah to provide a trauma-informed approach training this September.​ Dr. Tonemah's goal is to build a trauma-informed community that empowers its providers, educators, leaders, and citizens. The goal is to recognize symptoms and behaviors while equipping yourself with tools to not only deal with trauma but to heal from trauma. We are excited to host him next month!
