6 Broadcaster Press March 8, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com USDA Tours USD And Presents $500,000 Grant For Rural Health Care Project Representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture toured the University of South Dakota Wednesday and discussed a project that will strengthen health care services in 24 rural South Dakota communities and give medical school and nursing students firsthand experience in rural practice and telemedicine. Telemedicine allows health care professionals to treat patients through the exchange of medical information over two-way video, email, smartphones, wireless tools and other forms of electronic communications. USD’s project, called “A Bridge to the Frontier: Preparing South Dakota’s Future Doctors and Nurses for Rural Practice," creates new telemedicine connections that link health education hubs at the USD campuses in Vermillion, Pierre, Rapid City and Sioux Falls with 24 rural hospitals and clinics throughout South Dakota. It was made possible by a $499,897 grant from USDA and $376,000 in matching funds from USD. “The funds will allow us to build a telehealth video network linking the university’s resources and educators to health care professionals and students across the state,” said Cheryl Tiahrt, deputy chief information officer at USD. The immediate benefit for rural areas will be opportunities for existing health care professionals to stay current on the latest best practices over the telemedicine network through USD simulation centers. The three-year program will also help about 675 medical school and nursing students become more comfortable working in a rural environment, which increases the likelihood they return to those areas to fill the need for rural health care. USD’s award was the second-largest of 75 grants in 31 states from a total of $23.4 million provided by the USDA Rural Development’s Distance Learning and Telemedicine program.

The Civil Air Patrol was founded on December 1, 1941, one week before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It was formed at the urging of citizens willing to donate their time and their private aircraft to patrol our nation’s vulnerable coastlines during World War II. CAP, and South Dakota Wing, was brought into existence with the stroke of a pen by Fiorello La Guardia, then Director of the Office of Civilian Defense. Initially under the jurisdiction of the Office of Civilian Defense and later the Army Air Forces, CAP pilots flew more than 500,000 hours performing a wide variety of duties, including coastal patrol for submarine activity as well as ships and personnel in distress, forest and southern border patrols, target towing for the armed forces and courier flights. A vast number of CAP ground personnel supported the aviators. In all, some 220,000 men, women and youthful cadets served in CAP during WWII. On July 1, 1946, President Harry Truman established Civil Air Patrol as a federally chartered nonprofit corporation, and Congress passed a law on May 26, 1948, designating CAP as the official Air Force Auxiliary. CAP was given three primary missions - emergency services (search and rescue, disaster relief, humanitarian assistance), aerospace education and cadet programs. Today, CAP, service organization made up of professionally trained civilian volunteers, is a strategic partner of the U.S. Air Force and along with the Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, is a member of the USAF’s “Total Force”. Today, CAP has a modern, well-equipped fleet of over 550 aircraft, 950 vehicles and one of the most extensive communications networks in the world that are utilized daily to fulfil the requirements of our Congressional mandated missions. The South Dakota Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, with squadrons in Sioux Falls, Brookings, Rapid City, Pierre, Custer and Spearfish has approximately 300 members, seven light aircraft and 17 multi-purpose vehicles. These assets are available to federal, state and county governments, emergency responders and law enforcement agencies to perform search and rescue, homeland security, disaster relief, humanitarian assistance and counter-drug missions.
