New employee of NWWIHB, Monica Revey has joined the team as our Native Liaison. The cooperative services agreement between NWWIHB and PeaceHealth is focused on supporting the experience of care for Natives accessing PeaceHealth services.

The Native Liaison will serve patients and families as a critical link between PeaceHealth Northwest hospitals and clinics and Tribal primary care clinics as well as other community-based services

As our first Native Liaison, Monica Revey will:

Work closely with PeaceHealth caregivers to assure a compassionate experience of care for Tribal community members. A key focus is on fostering trusting relationships and respectful care interactions.

Be a strong patient, family and community advocate especially for vulnerable elders and patients with disabilities.
Serve as a resource for team members working together improve health outcomes including reducing re-admission, reduction in preventative emergency care, and improved understanding of the importance of treatment and discharge plans.
