How are ConneXions sites staffed?
ConneXions will be staffed by existing paid and volunteer staff of the organization hosting the enrollment site. Maximizing the use of volunteers is a key ConneXions value. CHOICE Regional Health Network has extensive experience in recruiting, training and managing volunteers through our five-year subcontract with the Statewide Health Insurance & Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) program. We anticipate that pharmacy assistance volunteers will offer services at each comprehensive enrollment site. CHOICE is also exploring different community volunteer models, as well as the AmeriCorps and VISTA programs, to identify opportunities that may be appropriate for ConneXions. Such volunteers will help develop and implement projects that will make sites sustainable into the future.
