Pain management information
To best serve Tribal members and patients suffering from chronic pain,
the Grand Ronde Health & Wellness Center is convening a pain manage-
ment committee.
This committee will evaluate the current pain management policy and
contract utilized by the Health & Wellness Center to ensure the proto-
cols support best clinical practices for patients and conform to regulatory
guidelines.
One of our goals is to consider potentially enhancing pain management
services already provided. We are excited about the future of the Health
& Wellness Center and plan to keep you informed along the way.
