Project Description:

The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) grant is managed by staff from the ND Senior Medicare Patrol project within the ND Center for Persons with Disabilities. Staff provide outreach and education to ND Medicare beneficiaries in rural, underserved counties focusing on people with disabilities and those who are low-income. Within this project, staff will also advance diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Specifically, staff will identify gaps and barriers in services, increase awareness, empowerment, and actions taken to prevent healthcare fraud, expand collaborations with partners, and address barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The project's goal is that ND's underserved population have access to modified resources that increase community awareness and understanding of potential Medicare Fraud and scams.
