KAREN: That's kind of the end of what I had sort of prepared in advance. Other things that have -- you can think of that I've inspired in you that you might want to talk about?

STELLA: No. Except that I am glad that I still -- I'm still, you know, part of the program. That I'm really thankful to KANA, my former CHAP directors, to kind of, you know, have this position for me, and I know that other health aides, you know, other regions probably don't have what we have here.

KAREN: Uh-hum.

STELLA: That makes it really easier for the health aides, I think, because I do a lot of paperwork, I do just supply orders, drug orders.

KAREN: Uh-hum.

STELLA: And, you know, answer the telephone, make appointments, those kinds of things that health aide does for themselves.

KAREN: And that was going to be -- so the clinic manager position you think is unique to here?

STELLA: Yes, uh-hum. I think it is. That's -- that's what I hear. Because I -- the last forum that I went to up in Anchorage, you know, other -- other places didn't really have it.

KAREN: Uh-hum.

STELLA: And now little clinics don't really need it because it's -- you know, they are -- I know that sometimes the clinic is so, you know, slow, that you're not seeing many -- that many patients that you can do your paperwork and all that other stuff.

KAREN: Uh-hum.

STELLA: But when you get kind of busy or in the bigger clinic is what you need -- when you need someone there.

KAREN: And as you say, it sounds like it helps -- it's part of that support network for the health aide?

STELLA: Uh-hum. Yes, it is.

KAREN: And it relieves some of the pressures on them?

STELLA: Uh-hum. Like I say, I do a lot of medication orders for patients.

KAREN: Uh-hum.
