Thursday, September 10
1:00pm Pacific Time (noon Alaska Time, 2:00pm Mountain Time)
The next PNR Partners webinar is coming up next week. Please join us as we hear from two of our Express Outreach awardees, Jean Shreffler-Grant and Jayne Andreen. Jean has her PhD in nursing science. She has been a faculty member at Montana State University, College of Nursing for the past 25+ years and is currently a Professor on the College’s Missoula Campus. She will tell us about a project conducted by a team — most of whom have worked together for more than 15 years — exploring use of complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) by older rural dwellers and promoting health literacy about CAM.
Jayne has a BA in Psychology/Counseling from Winona State University, and is a graduate of the Public Health Education Leadership Institute. She has overseen health promotion services with the Alaska Division of Public Health since 1999, including chronic disease prevention, as well as injury and violence prevention initiatives. She currently provides training, technical assistance and consultation on community organizing and development, community health assessment, planning and evaluation. Jayne will provide an overview of AHELP, the Alaska Health Education Library Project. This online searchable database has been developed to improve statewide health promotion and primary prevention capacity, as well as provide opportunities for networking across this vast frontier state.
