Moses Frederick: November 2008 Health Aide of the Month
By Tiffany Zulkosky, Public Relations
The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation's Community Health Aide Program recognizes Moses Frederick of Akiachak as the November 2008 Health Aide of the Month.
A Community Health Practitioner, it is Moses' quick response to emergency calls and EMT skills that make him a stand out Health Aide. In early November, Moses received a call about a patient who was not moving. Relying on his years of experience and quality training, Moses and his fellow Health Aide Marsha, who is also his daughter, conducted a rapid assessment. Eventually the patient was transported to Bethel for further care and observation.
"Both Health Aides used their training and instincts when responding to this emergency," said Martha Attie, Supervisor Instructor. "He takes care of patients gently and has a good attitude. Moses is a good role model for the community and other villages."
Moses, who will reach his 30 years of service in August 2009, was honored during a special luncheon at the Akiachak Clinic on Tuesday, December 9, 2008.
The Health Aide workforce represents the sustainability of health care in the YK Delta. Each month, YKHC awards special recognition to an outstanding Health Aide.
