Joe Marcotte reported that work on the 2011 conference is underway. Progress has been made in key areas. He reported that panel discussions and first person reports/experiences in a disaster are gaining popularity as modulesitopics at conferences. Joe also stated that the#1 being given and/or requested is Ethics in Emergency Management and the#2 most requested topic is Crisis Communication. Another trend gaining interest Within the emergency response community is the need for people with CISM [Critical Incident Stress Management] skills. Joe stated that the local Big Sky CISM/CISM has a pool of individuals skilled in the area of stress counseling; however the pool in recent years is dwindling. Nationally Critical incident stress is the leading cause of employee or volunteer loss, poor work habits, lowered morale and loss of vision and mission of your staff. Without the ability to educate your emergency responders on critical incident stress, it will cost the average department$15,000 to$50,000 to replace that lost member or employee. [Scribe's Notes: Big Sky CISM/CISD members are: City of Billings,Fire,Police and Airport,Billings Clinic,St. Vincent Healthcare,AMR,Highway Patrol,and Yellowstone County Sheriffs Office and DES.] Other topics suggested for the upcoming conference: Role of Public Policy in Public Safety. Psychological First Aid. GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE: Joe reported that he has been asked whether or not the Yellowstone County LEPC can or Will host a combined conference in April instead of the March dates already planned for 2011.

AGENCY EDUCATION SESSION: RIVERSTONE HEALTH: [GREG NEILL] On June 30, 2008, the Yellowstone City-County Health Department began doing business as RiverStone Health. Although it has taken thirty years to arrive, our journey to RiverStone Health began two years ago,based on the need to create a single identity for our health department. Since our creation in 1974,we've been providing public health services to our community. Over the past thirty years,many significant milestones have marked our path: ■ 1984—Deering Clinic opens,offering personal health services ■ 1998—YCCHD becomes the only health services district in the state of Montana • 1998—Big Sky Hospice joins our service delivery team ■ 2005—Montana Family Medicine Residency Program is integrated into the organization, broadening our scope of services to include professional education In recent years,we've continued to add services to meet the needs of our community, leaving little time to focus on our organizational identity. Several community surveys indicated the same thing: Yellowstone City-County Health Department was not well known and the programs and services we delivered were not associated with the organization. RiverStone Health offers a full range of clinical health services,assisting countless Montanans with everything from bumps and bruises to serious,long-term care. Clinical Services: RiverStone Health Clinic services are available for all people regardless of insurance status or their ability to pay for healthcare services. Through the federally funded community health center program,RiverStone Health Clinic offers a sliding fee schedule that allows us to adjust charges for healthcare services according to family income. In addition, we accept payment from Medicare,Medicaid,CHIP,and private health insurance plans. ■ RiverStone Health Clinics - offering family practice primary care in Billings, Bridger, Joliet and Worden ■ Pharmacy Services&Medication Assistance-retail pharmacy offering medication counseling and assistance for low-income or uninsured persons • Community Health Access Partnership-Helping the uninsured and underinsured to connect with Health Care Services ■ Dental Services-high-quality primary and preventive dental services,with a focus on low-income or uninsured persons ■ Healthcare for the Homeless-temporary and ongoing services for homeless persons Page 4of14 LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE 2305 8TH AVENUE NORTH—BILLINGS,MT 59101 JOE MARCOTTE,CHAIR ■ Correctional Healthcare Services-quality care,education and life skills,helping inmates start a new life upon discharge Home Care&Hospice: RiverStone Health home care& hospice services are primarily delivered in your home, wherever home is ... whether in an assisted living facility or private residence.

We have created a single point-of-access and a community system of outpatient care for those with mental illness and co-occurring mental illness/substance abuse disorders. Based on a "no wrong door" philosophy, the Community Crisis Center reduces excessive use of costly but less-effective resources.To date,the Community Crisis Center is the first of its kind in the state and is serving as a model for other communities. At RiverStone Health we strive to build a personal connection with everyone we serve to provide optimal complete solutions,within our realm of expertise,to the variety of challenges faced by our customers. Dignity, respect,understanding,kindness and sensitivity aren't just words;they are the principles underlying each customer interaction. OUR MISSION:To improve life,health and safety.
