Kriner saw first-hand the complexities surrounding the health care and legal systems, and she was driven to help others connect with resources during challenging times.<\/p>\n<p>Since April 2022, Kriner has been a volunteer patient navigator at UCHealth Seniors Clinic \u2013 Anschutz Medical Campus.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteer patient navigators increase the bandwidth of the care management team. Volunteer patient navigators receive referrals from the care management team to take care of non-clinical needs, such as connecting patients with local or national support resources.<\/p>\n<p>Kriner has a group of patients she regularly checks in with, though her responsibilities vary weekly, depending on the needs of her patients. This includes arranging travel for upcoming doctor\u2019s appointments, connecting patients to community based resources and checking in with patients who may be socially isolated.<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, Kriner works on some unorthodox referrals like one that thrilled an elderly Denver woman. It began with Maria Vejar, who holds a doctorate of nursing practice, and cares for patients at UCHealth Seniors Clinic \u2013 Anschutz Medical Campus. She heard about her 96-year-old patient\u2019s dream to travel to Jackson, Mississippi to visit her parents\u2019 gravesites \u2013 a trip her patient was unable to make for over 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>Vejar identified an opportunity to fulfill her patient\u2019s dream through AARP\u2019s Wish of a Lifetime Program, and she referred the patient to Sarah Abbott, volunteer patient navigator program coordinator at UCHealth, and the volunteer patient navigator team.<\/p>\n<p>Kriner was asked to help, and she immediately got to work.<\/p>\n<p>She assisted the patient in completing the application for AARP\u2019s Wish of a Lifetime Program. Once the application was accepted, Kriner helped manage logistics needed for a successful trip. The patient needed to travel with oxygen, so Kriner coordinated with the airline and medical supply company to ensure the patient had the correct instructions and equipment for traveling.<\/p>\n<p>Vejar remained integral in getting the trip finalized, as physician input and approvals were required throughout the process. Everyone involved was dedicated to making this trip happen for the patient.<\/p>\n<p>With the details finalized, the patient and her niece made the all-expenses paid pilgrimage to Mississippi to fulfill her wish in October 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Kriner spoke with the patient a few days after her return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was so appreciative of the opportunity,\u201d Kriner said. \u201cShe said it was so good to see her existing family in Mississippi. And, of course, there\u2019s the visit to the gravesite which she describes as bittersweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The patient\u2019s reaction was \u201cjust so touching and so rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kriner\u2019s experience as a volunteer patient navigator has \u201cbeen fabulous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day is different,\u201d Kriner said. \u201cEvery patient has a different set of needs. It\u2019s good to feel like you\u2019re helping these people who may not have easy access to resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporting patients in challenging times Patient satisfaction is hardwired into Kathy Kriner.
