GOOD NEWS:
Health Care Navigator – Restart Inc.
Shannon
Dimaggio is a Health Care Navigator with SSVF program, Restart Inc., in Kansas
City, MO who has been supporting Veterans with establishing care at the Kansas
City VA Medical Center (VAMC). Recently, she met with a Veteran who was
not comfortable with his assigned primary care provider, and as a result, had
not been seen by his provider in a number of years. Learning of this
specific concern, and noting the Veteran’s need for care, Ms. Dimaggio educated
the Veteran on how to request a new provider and receive the services necessary
to address his whole health needs. Because Ms. Dimaggio provided a clear
path for the Veteran to follow in seeking this reassignment, the Veteran has
now been scheduled to see his new primary care doctor at the Kansas City VA
Medical Center. As an SSVF Health Care Navigator, Ms. Dimaggio advocated
for the Veteran and communicated with VA staff to ensure the Veteran was
allowed to request a new provider, be scheduled for an appointment, and have a
plan in place to address any issues that arise prior to being seen. Great
work Shannon Dimaggio! As others experience highs and lows with your work
as a Health Care Navigator, please share them with your Regional
Coordinator.
