Sage Memorial Hospital is expanding its reach beyond its main facility in Ganado by utilizing two mobile units that offer outpatient services. These services include screenings and education for diabetes mellitus, rapid HIV and syphilis tests, treatments for sexually transmitted infections, adult immunizations, harm reduction services, walk-in services, and more. The goal of these mobile units is to provide comprehensive care to Navajo Nation residents.
Sage Memorial Hospital has also introduced the Produce Prescription Pilot Program, funded by a grant from the Indian Health Service. This program aims to increase access to fruits, vegetables, and traditional Native American foods in order to reduce food insecurity and improve health outcomes among Navajo Nation residents. Through this program, families who are food insecure or diabetic can have food delivered by Sage Memorial or purchase food themselves using a loyalty card at the store. Transportation and access to food have been identified as significant barriers to healthcare, and this program hopes to address these issues. By incorporating traditional Native American foods into the program, it not only provides nourishment but also improves health outcomes for individuals within the Navajo Nation.
