Community Wellness Centers of America, LLC’s (CWCOA) strategic partnership with OmniMD was formed as part of a pilot healthcare program to integrate Electronic Health Records (EHR) technology into the initiative for South East Queens as detailed in CWCOA’s 465 page report, submitted by Senator Huntley to Governor Cuomo, titled “Integration of a Cost Effective Plan for Jamaica/Queens.

This healthcare initiative’s purpose is to provide not only needed medical services to the community, but also provide employment for our residents. To begin this process, community residents will be trained in electronic health records (EHR) technologies creating employment opportunities in the field of internet healthcare which will address the disparities in Southeast Queens.

Unemployed community residents will be trained in the computer facility located within Rochdale Village and cover various disciplines in both internet technology and the use of EHR technologies with specific applications for clinics, physicians and residents which enables them to gain meaningful employment in this community.

Trained residents will be working with participating hospitals, medical schools, and academic institutions in preparation for an integrated healthcare program establishing the platform in building an accountable care organization (ACO) to better serve the community’s healthcare needs.

Dr. Robert Evans, CEO/President of CWCOA stated, we have secured the support from renowned healthcare institutions, specialty physician group practices and State supported services for mental illness and HIV/AIDS to provide easily accessible medical services for our community which includes walk-in clinics, cardiovascular and diabetes services. All of these services will undoubtedly provide various employment opportunities for residents interested in the field of medical services.

Dr. Evans also stated that he and Mr. Divan Da’ve / CEO of OmniMD have worked together on several successful projects including the Healthy Heart Project which was a cardiovascular screening held free of charge in Rochdale, November 2010, and attended by hundreds of residents,  legislators and stakeholders within the community.

CWCOA healthcare initiative will empower the community to fight disparities in healthcare which is supported by both State Senator Shirley Huntley’s office and members of the Rochdale Board of Directors; these members include Joe Evans, Gene Castro and Jeanne Hall
