Lo nyaka uphawula ingqophamlando ebalulekile ye-CHAD—unyaka wethu wama-40 njengeNhlangano Yokunakekelwa Okuyisisekelo esebenzela izikhungo zezempilo eNyakatho Dakota naseNingizimu Dakota. Kusukela ngo-1985, i-CHAD isebenze ngokubambisana nezikhungo zezempilo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi wonke umphakathi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi indawo yasemakhaya noma yasemadolobheni, ifinyelela ekunakekelweni kwezempilo okuthengekayo, okusezingeni eliphezulu, nokwethembekile.
Ukugubha lolu suku, abasebenzi be-CHAD bahlangana izinsuku ezimbili zokuzindla, ukusebenzisana, kanye nomphakathi. Usuku lokuqala lwaqala ngokubheka emuva emlandweni we-CHAD ngezithombe, amalogo, nezindaba ezilolonge uhambo lwethu. Iphaneli yabasebenzi bakudala nabasebenze isikhathi eside babelane ngemibono yabo, banikeza imininingwane ebalulekile yokuthi i-CHAD ithuthuke kanjani kuyilapho ithembekile kumgomo wayo.
Okunye okugqamile kimi ekwakheni i-ajenda yethu engama-40th ukugujwa kweminyaka kube yithuba lokuchitha isikhathi nomqondisi ongumsunguli we-CHAD, u-Scot Graff. Saqopha izindaba zeminyaka yokuqala, njengokucabanga kwakhe ukuthi - ngaphambi kokuba i-CHAD isungulwe - wayesebenza yedwa esikhungweni sezempilo engazi ukuthi unozakwabo ezweni lonke. Namuhla, sine-a inethiwekhi eqinile yezikhungo zezempilo zomphakathi kanye nezikhungo zezempilo zase-Tribal nase-Urban Indian ezinokubambisana okuningi, njengenethiwekhi yedatha eyabiwe, inkundla yokuqasha okwabelwana ngayo, namathimba okufunda/enethiwekhi asebenzayo ezizindeni eziningi njengekhwalithi yomtholampilo, impilo yokuziphatha, izinsiza zabantu, ukuxhumana nokunye. Uma ungathanda ukubumba isu nokwabelana ngezindlela ezihamba phambili, cabanga ukujoyina elinye lamaqembu enethiwekhi e-CHAD ukuze uhlanganyele nontanga futhi uqinise umthelela wesikhungo sezempilo. Xhumana ne-darci@communityhealthcare.net ukuze ubambe iqhaza.
Ngiphinde ngakuthanda ukufunda kabanzi mayelana nokuthi zingaki iziza zasemaphandleni aseNingizimu Dakota ezaqalwa ngokusebenzisa a Rural Health Initiative ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-70 eyayiklanyelwe ukuqinisa nokugcina ukufinyelela ekunakekelweni emiphakathini yasemakhaya. Nge-Rural Health Initiative, kwasungulwa amabhodi nezisekelo eziningi ezisekelwe emphakathini ukuze zihole izikhungo zezempilo zomphakathi, futhi indima yezinga eliphakathi laqiniswa, kwaze kwasetshenziswa abezokwelapha ababekhonze eVietnam. Njengoba sibheka Isikhwama Sokuguqulwa Kwezempilo Yasemakhaya kulo nyaka, bengilokhu ngizindla ngokuthi singakha kanjani ingqalasizinda ehlala njalo, ubudlelwano, futhi sithuthukise imibono emisha ngezindlela ezizokwenza vikela ukufinyelela ezindaweni zasemakhaya ekunakekelweni eminyakeni ezayo, efana ne-Rural Health Initiative eyaqala ngokushesha umsebenzi wethu eminyakeni engu-40 edlule.
I-Scot iphinde yabelana ngomlando wokuqala wezindawo zethu ezimbalwa zasemadolobheni, lapho ukubambisana phakathi kwezinhlelo zezokwelapha zasenyuvesi kwaholela ekusungulweni kwezikhungo zezempilo zomphakathi ezazisebenza njengezindawo zokuqeqesha zokuhlala eSioux Falls, Rapid City, naseFargo. Isikhungo sezempilo saseSioux Falls kuphela esiqhubeka njengendawo yokuqeqesha yokuhlala, kodwa ukuthuthukiswa kwabasebenzi kuyaqhubeka njengokubalulekile kwezikhungo zezempilo abasadonsa kanzima ukuqasha abasebenzi ezindaweni ezintula abasebenzi bezempilo. Namuhla, izikhungo zezempilo zibambe iqhaza kulo lonke "ipayipi labasebenzi" kusukela ekusingatheni amakamu okukhuhla amabanga aphakathi, ukuya ekuhlanganyeleni nesikole samabanga aphezulu i-HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America), ukusingatha uchungechunge lwezinhlelo zokuqeqesha abafundi ezihlanganisa ubuhlengikazi, inhlanzeko, odokotela, ukufundela ubudokotela kanye namazinyo nokunye, ukutshala imali ngokuhlanganyela ekuqeqesheni abasebenzi abakhona kanye nokuthuthukisa amakhono. Eqinisweni, i-CHAD ibamba I-LeadU uqeqesho lokusekela abaphathi nabaphathi abasha nabakhona ngoSepthemba 3 e-Rapid City, eSouth Dakota, nango-Okthoba 1 eJamestown, eNyakatho Dakota.
Njengoba sigubha iminyaka engama-40 yenkonzo, i-CHAD nayo igxile ekusaseni. Bheka wethu Uhlelo lwesu lweminyaka emi-3 ukubona ukuthi sihlela ukwakha kanjani ukuze kube nokusimama, ukufinyelela ekunakekelweni, ikhwalithi ethuthukisiwe, ukutshalwa kwezimali kwabasebenzi, kanye nokwenza kahle kwenhlangano.
Ngokubambisana nezikhungo zezempilo ezingamalungu ethu, sizibophezele ekuthuthukiseni izinto ezintsha, ukukhuthaza ukubambisana, nokubhekana nezidingo ezihlala zishintsha zemiphakathi esiyisebenzelayo. Izinselelo ezizayo zibalulekile—kodwa kanjalo namathuba okwakha imiphakathi enempilo, enamandla kulo lonke elaseDakota.
Imuva lethu lisinikezile isisekelo esiqinile. Ikusasa lethu lizochazwa ngokuhlanganyela kwethu ukuzinikela ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi wonke umuntu—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uhlala kuphi noma izimo zakhe—uyakwazi ukufinyelela ukunakekelwa akudingayo futhi okubafanele.
