The availability and use of these funds are subject to federal regulations and are further subject to the Unified Government of Wyandotte County, Kansas City, Kansas policies and program requirements. The goal of this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for a Bilingual Health Navigator/CHW is to provide a vital role in bridging the gap between patients seen at Duchesne Clinic and assisting them in receiving medical services.
