Kenwood TK-7160 Antenna Connection
The TK-7160 may be in a frame that makes access to the antenna connection difficult. A short extension is useful and saves wear and tear on the SO-238 connection on the radio.

About ARES-Amateur Radio Emergency ServiceThe Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment, with their local ARES leadership, for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes.
Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL or any other local or national organization is eligible to apply for membership in ARES. Training may be required or desired to participate fully in ARES. Please inquire at the local level for specific information. Because ARES is an Amateur Radio program, only licensed radio amateurs are eligible for membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.

About CMRRC-Central Maine Regional Resource Center The Office of Public Health Emergency Preparedness (OPHEP) of the Bureau of Health, and the Maine Department of Human Services partnered withCentral Maine Medical Center to create one of three Regional Resource Centers in the state complementing the existing State Regional Trauma Centers. To this end the Central Maine Regional Resource Center (CMRRC) was started in February, 2004 and has been charged with developing comprehensive plans for a coordinated healthcare response to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies within our region. A major secondary role would be to manage a funds allocation program designed to improve Central Maine's emergency response infrastructure.
The CMRRC is a collaborative venture involving all key partners within the Central Maine Territory including hospitals, rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, emergency medical service providers, home health agencies, nursing homes and long-term care facilities, mental health agencies, substance abuse agencies, municipal health officers, municipal health departments, tribal health departments and health centers, county emergency management agencies, local emergency planning committees, American Red Cross Chapters, and schools. The funding from the Bureau of Health allows the Resource Center to directly sponsor activities for the improvement of emergency healthcare preparedness. Specifically, these activities include:
• Coordinate and assure that the Bureau’s statewide public health emergency preparedness priority actions are communicated and implemented appropriately throughout the region:o Early detection of bioterrorism events through interagency laboratory coordination and collaboration, and promotion of infectious disease reporting region-wide.
• Coordinate communication initiatives including service as a hub for the Maine Health Alert Network (HAN), and developing a regional health risk communication plan.
• Coordinate and implement public health emergency preparedness initiatives related to training of health professionals.
DRAFT Hospital Response Team Manual Page 27 of 29
Evaluate the region’s current capabilities and develop a regional emergency response plan for healthcare that will complement existing plans, determine priorities for possible future funding, and determine grant awards to undertake equipment purchases and/or capital improvements to address the following priorities:
1. Adequate hospital bed capacity for a natural, accidental, or WMD event.2. Capacity for the isolation and treatment of biologically exposed patients.3. Heightened EMS coverage in response to a mass casualty incident.4. Immediate deployment of additional patient care personnel to meaningfully increase hospital
patient care surge capacity.5. Receiving, staging, storing, and dispensing of assets from the Strategic National Stockpile and
the Maine Pharmaceutical Cache.6. Adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) and portable or fixed decontamination systems
for managing exposed patients.7. Regional response to terrorist attacks resulting in injuries due to explosions, including burns and
trauma.8. Addressing psychological health needs and their behavioral manifestations during and
following a public health emergency.9. Development of a redundant, radio-based communication system between health care
providers, the RRC, public safety, public health, and emergency management agencies within the region.
Headquartered on the campus of Central Maine Medical Center, the w:st="on"Regional Resource Center also coordinates and offers educational programs to area partners that includes Hospital Awareness & Operations (HAZWOPER) training, NIMS and HICS training, planning & participating in community drills and exercises and offering the Public Health Emergency Prepardedness Lecture Series.Source: http://cmrrc.org/index.php?pr=About_Us

About Maine Primary Care Association 73 Winthrop Street, Augusta, ME 04330-5505 Voice 207.621.0677 Fax 207.621.0577
For over 25 years Maine Primary Care Association has worked to strengthen and sustain Maine’s Primary Care Safety Net. Our Federally Qualified Health Centers and Indian Health Centers provide high quality primary care to underserved areas and underserved populations of the state where healthcare options are limited, and access to barriers would otherwise prevent the delivery of the right care at the right time in the right place.
Maine Primary Care Association offers a number of opportunities through our SEARCH Program (Student/Resident Experiences And Rotations in Community Health) for students and residents to experience medicine in an underserved primary care setting in Maine. Our host sites can be found throughout the state and offer placements for the following primary care disciplines:
MPCA is extremely proud to represent the collective voices of our community health centers as they represent the healthcare options available to all, regardless of insurance coverage or the ability to pay. These health centers with support from MPCA continue to find ways to increase their services and capacity to respond to the growing need of the communities they serve, despite rising costs in the delivery of healthcare.
Maine’s Primary Care Safety Net has increased the availability of services including dental care and mental health, in addition to raising the bar in the delivery of care offered to patients through the adoption of quality improvement initiatives and health information technology.
Services
To support our health centers as they continue to make Maine a healthier state, MPCA has coordinated a variety of services and programs which enhance everything from individual patient care to statewide policy efforts. Our efforts include:
• Advocating to support community health centers, residents in medically underserved areas and uninsured or underinsured populations
• Coordinating programs to increase services offered at health centers and access to programs for patients who might otherwise go without due to out-of-pocket expenses
• Managing the installation of Electronic Practice Management and Electronic Medical Record applications in addition to providing technical support
• Guiding and supporting health centers with the adoption of quality improvement initiatives which directly enhance patient care and overall health center performance
• Actively recruiting medical staff to work in health centers
• Leading health centers in developing emergency preparedness (EP) plans, effectively introducing health centers to partners in the EP arena at the local, county, regional and state level
• Providing teaching opportunities to health centers through medical student and resident rotations
DRAFT Hospital Response Team Manual Page 29 of 29
Outcomes and Achievements
Through our own initiatives and in collaboration with Maine’s community health centers and national, statewide and community partners, MPCA has successfully:
• Provided access to healthcare to assist 700 uninsured or underinsured residents in obtaining nicotine replacement therapy, nearly 1,000 uninsured women with screenings for breast cancer and nearly 800 for cervical cancer
• Prepared Maine’s community health centers to assist patients with meeting the citizenship and identity verification requirements for Medicaid under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005
• Assisted dozens of local non-profit organizations in the healthcare field in overcoming demanding workloads by recruiting and placing additional staff on-site through our AmeriCorps program
• Managed over 20 Electronic Practice Management and Electronic Medical Record installations at FQHC sites across the state
• Assisted 18 community health centers in the adoption of the Care Model and related quality improvement initiatives proven to increase health center efficiency and health outcomes while reducing emergency room visits
• Recruited dozens of clinical providers to Maine’s community health centers
