Matanuska-Susitna Borough Health Plan
Mat-Su Borough
Information Insights conducted research and facilitated development of a health care plan for the Mat-Su Borough. Substantial research was conducted to determine the needs and desires of local residents related to health care access. Data collection involved a telephone survey of 400 residents selected randomly from all residential phone numbers in the area that were not on the do not call list. Survey results were analyzed in SPSS. Twenty-eight community meetings were conducted in each community in the Mat-Su. The meetings were primarily held in conjunction with other community meetings in order to capitalize on interest and turn out. Finally, 40 key informants were interviewed. Those interview responses were coded and entered into Nvivo, a qualitative software analysis tool. The project concluded in March 2006 with adoption of the plan by the Mat-Su Borough Assembly.

Morningside Hospital blog earns Alaska history award
The Lost Alaskans: Morningside Hospital History Project has received the Alaska Historical Society‘s 2011 Pathfinder Award. According to the Society’s website:
The Pathfinder Award is given to an individual or several individuals who have indexed or prepared guides to Alaska historical material that has not been accessible. The 2011 Pathfinder award goes to the Lost Alaskans: Morningside Hospital History Project, and its primary researchers Ellen Ganley, Meg Greene, Karen Perdue, Robin Renfroe, Niejse Steinkruger, Sally Mead, Deborah Smith, Marylou Elton, and Vivian Hamilton. This group has worked to uncover the documentary record of mental health care during the years in which Alaskans were institutionalized out of state at Morningside Hospital. Their work not only helps reveal the past, but has had an impact on the lives of living family members seeking to understand what happened to their relatives.

Just another day at the office…
Two members of Information Insights facilitation team, Brenda and Jess Holden, pitched their tent at the Girl Scout Encampment last week. Jess worked with girls to explore the idea of voice in leadership and community, whether it is a troop, schools, or towns. She facilitated activities and conversation to explore ways girls want to contribute their voice in Girl Scouting and what that might look like. Brenda worked with a cross section of adult volunteers simultaneously to explore how Girl Scouts might improve volunteer support as well as gather ideas from adult volunteers on how the Council could shape the future state of the democratic voice of volunteers in the Alaska Council.
