HANDS OF HEALING INC
Healthcare | 13233 INDIAN ROCKS RD LARGO, FL 33774-2006
The medical mission team of HANDS OF HEALING has brought health, vision, dental and veterinarian care to thousands of people in Guatemala. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, dentists, vision specialists and a variety of other support volunteers travel to remote villages to provide on-site healthcare. Most of the children, adults and elders have never had the opportunity to receive quality health and dental care and for most, this is their first time to see a doctor. By treating general aches and pains, as well as chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, tooth decay, parasites, malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies that affect eyesight and growth of children – volunteers have brought both healing and hope to large numbers of people in some of the most impoverished villages in the Western Hemisphere. Team volunteers have even helped to build a clinic and a preschool. HANDS OF HEALING needs volunteers and donations to continue to provide this important healthcare to families that would otherwise go without. We invite you to be a part of serving our world – to heal, care for, feed and educate children, the elderly and their families.
The Outreach Clinic
Healthcare | 517 North Parsons Avenue Brandon, FL 33510
The Outreach Free Clinic and Resource Center provides comprehensive healthcare to the low-income, uninsured residents of Hillsborough County, Florida. We utilize all volunteer medical providers so that the funds that are donated are directed to patient care needs like, lab tests and medications. We are a medical home for our patients and help them manage chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and asthma.
JUDEO CHRISTIAN HEALTH CLINIC INC
Healthcare | 4118 N MACDILL AVE TAMPA, FL 33607-6717
The Judeo Christian Health Clinic accepts no government or United Way funding but solely relies upon its own fund raising efforts through the private sector to meet expenses. The Clinic operates on an annual budget of $682,000. Services offered are: general medical clinics; pediatrics; cardiology; endocrinology; rheumatology; gynecology; asthma & allergy; podiatry, neurology, urology, dental; eye; dietitian counseling; Hepatitis C screening; dermatology, and more. Also held are a Women’s Health Support group, nutrition education and support group, and diabetes and cholesterol educational and support groups. All of this is made possible through hundreds of doctors and other health care professionals who donate their time and skills in service to the medically indigent of our community. A Nurse Practitioner has been hired through grant funding, in order to allow increased access to healthcare for Clinic patients, and to utilize the Clinic during morning hours, when volunteers are typically working. Hundreds of referral doctors also treat Clinic patients in their private offices, free of charge, on a referral basis when a patient’s needs exceed Clinic capability, and sub-specialty care is necessary—care such as surgery, diagnostic testing, etc. The Clinic also has a well-stocked, state-licensed pharmacy, and all Clinic patients are given medications free of charge. It makes no sense for doctors to examine a patient and write a prescription, only to be told the patient has no money to have the prescription filled. It is conservatively estimated that we dispense more than two million dollars worth of medications to Clinic patients each year, free of charge, at a cost to the clinic of over $100,000. This is accomplished through the use of drug samples being donated to the Clinic by drug reps and doctors, as well as by taking advantage of the indigent care programs of various drug companies. Still we must purchase thousands of dollars worth of medications (a very large chunk of our budget) each year. Four full time (an Executive Director, Receptionist, Patient Coordinator and Nurse Practitioner) and four part time positions (a Pharmacist, an Administrative Assistant, a Referral Coordinator, night clinic coordinators, and a Dental Assistant) are paid out of Clinic funds. All others volunteer their time during evening hours in service to the poor of our community. Hundreds of health care professionals – physicians, dentists, optometrists, pharmacists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and others – give generously of their time and talents to attend to just over 30,000 patient visits last fiscal year alone.

BRITTLE DIABETES FOUNDATION INC
Healthcare | CO EV SORGE 1547 Waterford Drive Venice, FL 34292
Brittle Diabetes Foundation (BDF) was incorporated in the State of New York in 2012 with the establishment of a five member volunteer board of directors. BDF received its tax exempt designation as a 501C3 in early 2013. BDF’s mission statement lists 8 primary goals: 1. to raise awareness of the distinct difference between stable type 1 diabetes (T1D) and those diagnosed with Brittle Type 1 Diabetes (BT1D) characterized by brittleness, an uncontrollable. unpredictable, and unstable, shift in blood glucose (BG) levels resulting in a disruptive daily life. Misdiagnosis and improper treatment of this disease has and will continue to kill. 2. To end the myth that brittle is just an archaic term and nothing more than a complication of T1D. Instead, focus on the uniqueness of brittleness that impacts approximately 4,500 people in the USA. It is a very rare form of diabetes occurring in less than 0.3% (3/1000) of insulin dependent type 1 patients. The evidence is conclusive: there is always a secondary cause for BT1D and that therapy should be directed at finding the cause (s) or etiology of this rare disease and then treated accordingly. Results to date indicate that more than 50% of BT1D patients respond favorably to treatment and revert to a stable condition. Gone are the daily shakes, sweats, loss of cognitive function, slurred speech, headaches, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting all symptomatic of BG levels shifting rapidly and uncontrollably. 3. To provide an educational website (presently 58 pages) for healthcare professionals and their patients providing them with: a) a description of 18 known causes of BT1D found to date; b) the latest research findings and technological advances; c) an on-going list of clinical research trials available; d) resources that assist families devastated by this disorder; and e) an understanding that they are not alone in this battle for survival. 4. To secure recognition from the remaining healthcare organizations, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) that BT1D is a rare disease in its own right and a separate and distinct form of T1D. Presently supporting BDF’s position are the National Institutes of Health (NIH), JDRF formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the National Organization of Rare Diseases (NORD). 5. To increase physician awareness of this rare condition so that they consider brittleness as an option before labeling their patient non-compliant when BG levels do not conform to expectations. First,measure their patients level of glucose instability and, if brittleness is suspected, investigate its likely cause. 6. To develop a national registry of physicians and hospital/clinics with expertise in the care and treatment of brittle diabetes. The number one query we receive is ‘where can I find a physician who truly understands what I’m going through, is willing to work with ME to bring my blood sugars under control instead of calling me non-compliant’. 7. To promote the development of technological advances geared to improving the life of those with T1D and BT1D. 8. To ultimately develop a Brittle Diabetes Center for the customized treatment of those individuals diagnosed as brittle or for at least those who exhibit the severest degree of BT1D. BDF was born with the help of family and friends who lived through the following events and wanted to support others going through the same. My daughter Rosemarie was misdiagnosed with T1D at the age of 40. For the next 18 months, her physicians, utilizing the type 1 treatment handbook, repeatedly suggested that she was being non-compliant because her blood glucose levels did not respond in the traditional T1D manner. This all changed when she was brought to the emergency room in a diabetic coma suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The initial ER question posed ‘Is she suicidal? Did she try to kill herself?’ was shattering to her loved ones. After 23 days, ten in a coma and two near death experiences, the physicians realized that under controlled environmental conditions, they were unable to stabilize her BG and diagnosed her as being Brittle. Despite the fact that I hold a Ph.D. degree in microbial physiology and had taught nursing students Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology, I had never heard the term employed when describing T!D or any of its complications. When Rosie returned to the ER to say thanks and goodbye, the ER healthcare team was also unaware of this condition. Rosie and I, now BDF’s Chairman, began researching BT1D. We found that not a single major health organization in the world recognized the existence of this disease. This included the NIH, JDRF, NORD, ADA, IDF, and WHO. Despite the fact that medical literature is replete with articles in recognized journals on the difference between stable TID (affecting 1.5 million Americans) and BT1D which affects approximately 4,500, we saw a continued reluctance on the part of these organizations to formerly recognize this disorder as a rare disease in its own right and a separate and distinct form of T1D. After reviewing 80 years of clinical trials and medical research, it became apparent that brittleness has a secondary cause which clearly distinguished it from T1D. BDF now lists 18 known causes. If a physician takes the time to diagnose the cause and treat it, the brittle aspect tends to resolve itself. BDF provided the NIH with its findings and asked their medical staff to review BDF’s position. On July 3, 2013, the NIH agreed with BDF and concluded: Brittle Diabetes ” is a rare disease and a separate and distinct form of T1D”. The NIH through GARD established and now maintains an informational site aimed at educating the general public about this rare condition. The NIH now lists BDF as the only healthcare organization in the United States supporting Brittle Diabetes. It took BDF an additional two tears to get JDRF to review the medical literature. Earlier this year, JDRF recognized BT1D as being real and not a myth. With NIH, NORD and JDRF recognition, BDF turned its attention to the ADA and now has a formal proposal before its’ Professional Practice Committee that establishes guidelines for physicians. Preliminary responses received to date suggest that any response, yea or nay, from ADA will not occur before next year. If the existing position of the ADA remains as is, that all patients, meeting the diagnosis of T1D differ only in degrees of glucose variability, making no distinction between stable and brittle forms, future clinical trials will continue mixing two different disease entities, thereby skewing trial results. On the other hand, separation of the two distinct forms would result in brittle subjects being tested with an eye on how specifically BT1D differs from T1D individuals. Biomarker data specific to the differences between these two disease entities is presently lacking. BDF’s concern is that an individual diagnosed as Brittle will get lost in a medical practice that treats them in the same manner as a stable type 1 patient. The remaining two international agencies, the IDF and WHO will receive formal proposals for reclassification of BT1D in July. Awareness of BDF has been steadily growing. In the last twelve months, Google Analytics has recorded the following website statistics. BDF has reached 6 continents, 111 countries, 2,132 cities with 6,897 sessions, 6,039 different users of which 85% are new, 15% returning; Pages/session 2.14 ; session duration 2:04 with a bounce rate of 70%. Our new HTML 5 format now allows us to provide access to mobile devices. For the last two years, BDF has been able to maintain a page one presence on Google Chrome and Internet Explorer and page two on Safari, Firefox, and Bing when the term “brittle diabetes” is researched. BDF’s expansion into social media using Twitter and Facebook has generated over a thousand likes. Based on the experiences , age and health of key volunteer personnel, BDF has reached a critical juncture where continued program expansion and development requires a team of paid professionals who can create a self sustaining program to carry this unique cause forward. The programs as outlined below cannot be managed on BDF’s existing budget of $1,500 per year. Contributions are needed for 8 projects that are detailed in the projects section of Benevity’s report. In brief: The first four projects focus on in-house needs: a) Staffing and overhead for three years until BDF can become self-sustaining; b) Formation of a five member volunteer physician advisory committee to BDF; c) Development of an extensive educational outreach program employing videos, brochures and a quarterly newsletter; d) Creation of a national registry of experts and hospitals specializing in BT1D to answer the most asked question – Where can I find? The last four projects focus on how BDF can directly assist the clinical physician in diagnosing and treating BT1D patients. 1) Develop a mathematical APP to separate patients who are factitious from those who are truly brittle. 2) Develop four regional groups of research experts willing to advise on difficult/frustrating BT1D cases. 3) Develop a software program to improve information flow between the basic researcher and the practicing clinician to close a five year gap that currently exists. 4) Create a regional medical center of excellence to customize treatment for severe cases of BT1D.
THE BOGGY CREEK GANG INC
Healthcare | 30500 BRANTLEY BRANCH RD EUSTIS, FL 32736-9596
Camp Boggy Creek’s programs are intentionally designed to improve children’s functioning abilities, facilitate their independence, and remediate the psychosocial effects of illness. Improving the lives of children facing serious medical conditions is accomplished through unique, fun, and child-centered therapeutic recreation programs, which have been recognized as having a profound and positive impact on children’s lives and their recovery. Our programs restore children’s spirits, provide a sense of belonging, and encourage them to fight. Activities included fishing and boating, archery, swimming, horseback riding, arts and crafts and more – there is something to fit every camper’s idea of fun. Every activity has an element of challenge. Campers choose to what extent they participate in activities – an approach called challenge by choice. By being observant, empathetic, and communicating as a team, we can guarantee that every challenge put forward is specific and it is the camper’s choice how far he or she will take it. We provide our campers with the resources and freedom they need – where exploring interests and talents is our goal and building confidence, independence and esteem is our mission. Camp Boggy Creek’s therapeutic camp programs offer freedom and self-determination. Our goal is to ensure that children with serious illnesses gain, or regain, skills and an understanding of their own abilities that will enable them to make informed choices in other aspects of their lives outside of Camp Boggy Creek in the future. Achieving our goals is accomplished by… • Providing worthwhile life experiences to children with serious illnesses, and; • Increasing children’s ability to cope with their illnesses by developing their sense of independence and interdependence, and; • Decreasing the feelings of social isolation for children by creating a community of their peers that face similar situations. Friendships and social connections formed at Camp emerge as an important part of the camp experience while creating a positive impact beyond the camp experience. More than 70 percent of parents / caregivers reported a positive increase in their children’s confidence, independence, self-esteem, and interest in social activities after their Camp Boggy Creek experience. By developing memorable friendships and sharing medical and psychosocial information in a community of their peers, children decrease their feelings of social isolation. They increase their ability to cope with their illness by developing a sense of independence and interdependence in a safe and fun environment. Studies from the Yale Child Study Center confirm that social support programs provided at Camp Boggy Creek are directly related to improving self-esteem, self-confidence, coping abilities, and depression. Other changes included decreases in stress / PTSD symptoms related to illness as well as problems with psychosocial functioning. Other key findings on the impact of therapeutic camp programs in the lives of campers and families: • 83% of parents / caregivers reported noticing an increase in their child’s confidence, • 80% reported an increase in self-esteem, • 76% reported an increase in maturity, • 74% reported an increase in independence; and, • 72% reported increased interest in social activities All programs are designed to give campers and family members a multitude of opportunities that will foster personal growth and independence. Children build camaraderie and lifelong friendships and discover that laughing, singing and cheering are universal languages. Siblings meet other family members who are empathetic to the challenges of having a brother or sister with a life-threatening or chronic illness. All programs and activities are highly respected in the medical community for helping to restore children’s spirits and provide a sense of belonging. Parents / Caregivers are given piece of mind knowing that qualified staff and volunteers are caring for their children and allowing them to BE children. Because an individual’s sense of self is built through experience and feedback, Camp Boggy Creek’s programs provide carefully designed opportunities for children with life-threatening and chronic illnesses to meet all challenges with success in a safe, fun and supportive environment. When a camper feels empowered, safe and is enjoying themselves, they are more eager and open to participate and try something new. This in turn leads to benefits of the program that include enhanced self-esteem, confidence, self-image, tolerance, respect, independence, understanding and socialization.

HANDS of St. Lucie County
Healthcare | 3855 S US 1 SUITE B FORT PIERCE, FL 34982-0000
Organized by a handful of concerned citizens in 2006, chartered in 2008, and opened in October of 2010, St. Lucie County Health Access Network, dba HANDS of St. Lucie County, provides free, primary healthcare services and access to a continuum of healthcare to qualified, low-income, uninsured, adult residents of St. Lucie County. Services provided include primary medical care, adult dental clinic, vision care, mental health assistance, patient prescription program, and health education, which includes classes on diabetes management and nutrition, smoking cessation and chronic disease self-management. HANDS also provides dental checks and screening to more than13,000 children each school year through its pediatric dental program. HANDS of St. Lucie County is a Volunteers in Medicine affiliate. Thanks to the dedication of so many volunteers, more than $14.6 million in donated services is provided to HANDS patients each year, give donors a $14.60 return on each dollar invested in the future health and well-being of St. Lucie County. According to the 2015 US Census Bureau and Florida PUMA 120330 report, the number of uninsured adults living in St. Lucie County has risen from 43,000 in 2010 to more than 70,000 in 2015, despite the call for citizens to enroll in health insurance through the Affordable Care Act and despite the overall growth in numbers served as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Access to health care for the indigent, uninsured and working poor has been a major issue in the St. Lucie County community for many years. The goal of HANDS is to continue to offer a medical home in the form of a no-pay healthcare clinic that: (1) Provides early access to healthcare for the low-income, uninsured population (2) Provides early diagnosis and treatment, leading to better prognosis and earlier, less costly treatment (3) Provides preventive education and awareness programs (4) Reduces instances of non-emergency patients using high cost emergency rooms (5) Continues to finds ways to reach more of the low-income, uninsured population and to add additional programs in order to provide access to healthcare and reduce unnecessary visits to hospital emergency rooms. Services currently provided include: • Primary Care and Continuum of Care — HANDS collaborates with more than 65 partner physicians, dentists, hospitals and other healthcare providers to increase access to primary healthcare, to reduce unnecessary ER visits, and to provide a continuum of care. • Adult Dental Care — HANDS provides on-site adult dental care using local, practicing, volunteer Dentists. Services include oral evaluations, digital panoramic imaging, x-rays, composites, extractions, periodontal maintenance and oral hygiene instruction. • Adult Vision Care — HANDS’ state-of-the-art vision screening provides patients with an on-site volunteer Ophthalmologist or Optometrist or with a referral to an outside volunteer provider. • Mental Health Assistance — HANDS’ volunteer Psychologist will see qualified patients as needed for counseling. Physicians may refer patients to partnering providers for long-term care or pharmaceutical management. • Prescription Assistance Program — HANDS patients are assigned a Patient Navigator to help them secure free or reduced-cost prescription medications available through the pharmaceutical companies and other providers. • Educational Classes — To increase awareness and health management skills, HANDS offers free classes, at which licensed Nutritionists and Counselors help patients plan for better health and a better life. Classes include Diabetes & Nutrition, “Waist-Watchers,” Smoking Cessation, and Chronic Disease Self-Management. • Diabetes Program — More than 15-percent of HANDS patients have diabetes. HANDS is the only full-time, free healthcare clinic in this county, and is the only charitable clinic seeing to the complete needs of those diagnosed with diabetes, which includes A1c testing, educational materials, support groups, nutrition education and the teachings of self-management of diabetes – a critical element of care for all people with the disease and is necessary in order to improve outcomes. • Pediatric Dental Program — Pediatric dental disease is the number one chronic childhood disease in this country. To address this issue, HANDS provides pediatric dental screenings, sealants, and referrals to more than 13,000 children in the county’s school system annually. Although children are not treated on-site at the HANDS clinic, the pediatric dental program offers a collaborative solution to contribute to the oral health of St. Lucie County children. New Outreach and Service Goals: • HANDS, in partnership with In the Image of Christ, another local, non-profit, hopes to open a satellite primary care office in a documented underserved area of north Fort Pierce known as the Lincoln Park area. Currently, residents in this area rely on the local hospital emergency room for both emergent and non-emergent needs. This collaborative partnership comes with the expense of salaries, only, as In the Image of Christ is supplying the building, re-construction of space, and the office equipment. • HANDS has entered into an agreement and partnership with St. Lucie County’s Community Services Department whereby a shuttle will be provided to and from the Clinic for patients seeking help with transportation, enabling access to healthcare to additional residents whom otherwise would not have a medical home. Economic Impact HANDS of St. Lucie County benefits the community, as a whole, by providing access to healthcare and a continuum of healthcare to those whom otherwise would have nowhere to turn. HANDS of St. Lucie County is working to keep health insurance premiums and hospital rates down and the number of healthy people in the workforce up. History dictates that those without health insurance use their local hospital emergency room as their primary care facility. According to www.floridahealthfinder.gov, the average cost at any of the three hospital ERs in St. Lucie County is $5,520. During its first four years, HANDS had 18,000 patient visits, which could have resulted in more than $99 million in uncompensated care. Accounting for the $10 million per year in donated services to HANDS patients, there remains a cost avoidance of more than $59 million in just four short years. For 2015, HANDS experienced 9,272 patient visits, accounting for an additional $46.5 million in cost avoidance. HANDS patients are low-income residents of this county, who, if not for this Clinic, would use local emergency rooms for their primary care, diabetic care, etc. But with the establishment of “Diabetes – It’s In Your Hands” diabetes management program, HANDS can address issues before the need for hospitalization becomes apparent. Implementation of the team approach to managing diabetes gradually leads to improved screening and a reduction in long-term costs. The burden of healthcare costs contributes to the economic distress in a community. With a healthy workforce, elected officials are better able to sell the community to potential businesses.
