The Fund for Public Health in New York City (FPHNYC) on behalf of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) is seeking proposals from Clinical Sites interested in implementing a Check Hep C Patient Navigation Program. The Check Hep C Patient Navigation Program was developed by DOHMH in 2012 to improve HCV testing, linkage to care, and treatment rates in NYC. The program employs patient navigators to support patients through complete HCV medical evaluation and treatment by providing linkage to care and clinical care coordination services.
Through this competition, FPHNYC will provide up to three (3) awards of up to $78,000 each. Applicants must have demonstrated experience providing services to the HCV-infected population, in particular delivering services to communities disproportionately affected by poverty; lacking adequate health insurance; experiencing homelessness/housing instability; or suffering from mental illness and/or substance use disorders. Additionally, applicants must have the organizational capacity to:
- Offer HCV medical care and treatment on-site;
- Be able to appoint or hire a full-time patient navigator staff person within one month of receipt of notice of award;
- Have an active pool of HCV RNA patients at the time of the application and be able to identify at least 100 HCV RNA positive persons in the organization’s caseload;
