Corporate Message
Message from the Board of Directors…
Hoosier Uplands had a very successful year in 2012. The Phoenix on the Square project in Paoli was completed and was a
$5 million project that rebuilt the historic town square. Many thanks to the Indiana Housing and Community Development
Authority, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, Town of Paoli, Orange County Development Commission, and Old
National Bank.
Other accomplishments that took place or are in the process in 2012 include Orange County being the recipient of a new
state-of-the-art Head Start Center in Paoli as well as work beginning on the Stalker School renovation project in Bedford that
will create 18 affordable housing units. After the devastating tornado, Hoosier Uplands helped citizens rebuild in Clark and
Washington counties.
There were multiple reviews and ongoing audits during the year. No findings or major concerns were found in any of the
Hoosier Uplands programs.
Hoosier Uplands provided over 260 jobs with a payroll that exceeded $6.5 million.
The successful year was accomplished because of the great vision of our CEO David Miller, a dedicated Board of Directors
and staff, and valuable volunteers.
Our Board is looking forward to new challenges in 2013. Heartfelt thanks to all who made 2012 a great year and may God
continue to bless us for many years to come.

Chairman
Message from the
Chief Executive Officer
The agency completed its 47th year of service to our area in 2012 and I am happy to report it was another successful year.
We completed construction of the long anticipated “Phoenix on the Square” project on the Paoli square and our new Head
Start Center for Orange County. We were also awarded $200,000.00 from the Orange County Development Commission to do
a facade improvement program in downtown Paoli to round out a total remake of the historic square.
In 2012, we also began work on the renovation of the old Stalker School in Bedford with plans there for 18 affordable housing
units.
A new service was initiated in 2012 which moved Hoosier Uplands into the mental health arena. Serenity Now Psychiatric
and Counseling Service was opened in March, filling a void left by the IU Health Bedford closure, of its Behavioral Health
Department. We welcomed Dr. John Eckard to our staff and opened our clinic in Bedford this year.
We continued to have successful state and federal reviews and financial audits in 2012 and are meeting the challenges in a
very changing world. I am proud of our staff and Board of Directors.
I invite you to read this Annual Report to see all the many program accomplishments from 2012.
We look forward to another great year in 2013 with many new projects and ideas in the works already.

Area XV Agency on Aging
Aging and Disability Services
The Aging and Disability Services Division of Hoosier Uplands
serves those who are facing the loss of independence due to age
or disability. The Area XV Agency on Aging provides a diverse
range of services to provide to the disabled and elderly residents
of Crawford, Lawrence, Orange, and Washington counties.
Service needs vary with each individual. The first point of contact
for every inquiry made by or on behalf of an elderly or disabled
client is our Information and Referral / Aging and Disability
Resource Center. The Information and Referral staff takes the
initial calls or walk-ins. The staff will provide information and
resources that are available within the communities, conducts
the initial intake procedures, and initial eligibility screenings for
the individuals needing services.
When clients need additional assistance, the Information &
Referral/Aging and Disability Resource Center will offer
Long-Term Support Options Counseling. Options Counseling
is an interactive decision-support process whereby consumers,
family members and/or significant others are supported in their
deliberations to determine appropriate long-term care choices.
Also, the Information and Referral /Aging & Disability Resource
Center will make referrals to our Case Management staff.
Case Management provides a professional case manager who
will set up an appointment for a home visit. The case manager
assesses the needs of the client to determine eligibility as well as
appropriate services and a funding source to meet the client’s
needs.
Some of the services available for a homebound client include:
home health aide, homemaker, attendant care, respite, adult
day care, home delivered meals, transportation, skilled nursing
care, durable medical equipment, assistive technology, home
modifications and personal emergency response systems. The
funding sources allocated to provide these services include:
Social Services Block Grant (SSBG), Community And Home
Option to Institutional Care for the Elderly and Disabled
(CHOICE), Medicaid Waiver and Title III funds. In addition,
the Family Caregiver grant funding under Title IIIE can provide
respite for clients over the age of 60 with a full time caregiver,
and provide supplemental services such as home delivered
meals, homemaker and medical supplies. These services under
Title IIIE are provided on a temporary basis.
There are 12 Senior Center/
Congregate Nutrition Sites
within the four county areas.
Legal Services are available
to individuals age 60 and
over. In 2012, 148.60 hours,
were provided with such
things as power of attorney,
guardianship, wills and general
legal advice.
H O O S I E R
U P L A N D S
The division also has special events sponsored by Hoosier
Uplands. They are designed to assist the elderly and disabled
by providing information. Our Information Health and Fun Fair
is one of the biggest events. Relevant information and a range
of health screenings are available to attendees of this event.
Another big event is our Senior Games for people 50 and over.
The division sets aside one day to honor the Nursing Homes and
Group Homes with a day of senior games.
Area XV also gives a high priority to bridging the gaps where
funds are not available. One such program is the Wheelchair
Loan Program. Each outreach office is equipped with wheelchairs
to loan for a short period of time. There is no charge for this
service. The division also has a video library where we have
several videos to loan on health, family care giving and general
information.
State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) counselors help with
Medicare Part D and Medicare Fraud. These counselors also
help consumers apply for the Extra Help Program, Qualified
Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) and any other concerns they have
with their Medicare. They are on-site, so they are able to take
walk-ins, set up appointments and make home visits.
Human interest and informational articles appealing to senior
citizens are published quarterly in “The Golden Age”. This
publication is distributed in conjunction with the Bedford Times
Mail and reaches a readership of over 48,000.
Knowing not all needs of the elderly and disabled are met by
services provided by our agency, there are a series of Community
Service Guides for Crawford, Lawrence, Martin, Orange, and
Washington Counties. These are also available on our website:
www.hoosieruplands.org
One of the goals most of the services provided is to assist
individuals to remain as independent as possible in their home
environment. There are times individuals need 24- hour care in
a nursing facility. The Pre-Admission Screening Program is a
federally mandated program that assists families in determining
whether or not nursing home placement is appropriate, and if
necessary, helps with facilitating the placement. In 2012, there
were 830 consumers in nursing home placement for a total of
$133,000.00; and 259 consumers for Medicaid Waiver services for
a total of $223,707.00.
The Angel Foundation program is in its
10th year. The goal is to grant wishes
to terminally ill clients who are 18
years or over and have a projected
life span of one year or less. The
Angel Foundation has fulfilled two
requests in 2012.

Children’s Services Division
During Calendar Year 2012, Head Start staff:
Head Start
Head Start, the federally funded pre-school program for
children between the ages of three and five, began its 47th year
of operation in 2012. The program, which was created during
President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great War on Poverty,” has seen
many changes throughout its existence and expects more in the
years ahead.
Funding for the Head Start program is provided through the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The 2012-2013
allocation was $1,930,820.00 for general program operations and
$28,147.00 for training and technical assistance. The non-federal
share required to match the grant is $489,742.00.
•
Maintained 100% enrollment providing services to 503
children and their families during the calendar year
•
Provided services to 67 children with an Individualized
Education Plan
• Had 39 children that received glasses as a result of their vision
examination
•
Had 128 children who received follow-up dental care as a
result of their dental exam
•
Logged 63,993 accident free miles transporting children
Hoosier Uplands has traditionally provided Head Start services
through a center-based program model. Management staff
decided to apply for a program option change during 2012
to convert 12 center-based enrollment slots to home-based
enrollment slots. This change will enable children who live
outside our busing area to receive a 90 minute weekly home visit
and the opportunity to come together for socialization activities
each month.
A major highlight of 2012 was the completion of the new
Head Start center constructed in Paoli. The facility contains
two classrooms and a state of the art kitchen as well as offices
and a conference room. Through grants from the Orange
County Community Foundation and the Smithville Telephone
Foundation, TeachSmart Learning Systems 2.0 were installed
in each classroom. These “smartboards” provide children the
opportunity to experience the latest technology during their
Head Start experience. A “smartboard” was also installed in the
Bedford Head Start Center during 2012.
Classroom activities within the Head Start
program continued to focus on mastering
school readiness skills such as letter,
number, color and shape recognition,
self-help skills, and early literacy
skills. Through data collected on child
progress, program staff monitors
each child’s development in
the required domains and
continually enhances the
curriculum and classroom
instruction
to
insure
learning is taking place and
school readiness skills are
being mastered.
H O O S I E R
U P L A N D S
Early Head Start
Based on years of research regarding early brain development,
Congress set aside a portion of the funding allocated for Head
Start programs in 1994 to support the implementation of services
to pregnant women, infants and toddlers. The mission of Early
Head Start is to promote healthy prenatal outcomes for pregnant women, enhance the development of very young children,
and promote nurturing relationships. In 1999, Hoosier Uplands
received one of only 14 Early Head Start grants in the state of Indiana which enabled the agency to expand the scope of services
to include this vulnerable segment of our population.
Early Head Start services are provided in Lawrence, Martin,
Orange and Washington counties and all services are provided
through a home-based model of service delivery. Families receive a 90 minute home visit each week and attend socialization
activities two times per month.
Initially Hoosier Uplands was funded to serve 54 infants,
toddlers and pregnant women in their Early Head Start program.
In 2009, with funding through the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act, Hoosier Uplands was able to add 22 Early Head
Start slots and these slots became a permanent part of the Early
Head Start grant in 2011. During calendar year 2012, Hoosier
Uplands provided Early Head Start services to seven pregnant
women and 136 infants and toddlers.

Springs Valley Learning Center
2012 marked the sixth year of operation for the Hoosier Uplands
fee-for-services pre-school program operated in French Lick. The
program is provided through a partnership with the Springs Valley
School Corporation and focuses on developing school readiness
skills.
The grant enabled three staff of the Children’s Services division
and two members of the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department to
become certified child safety seat technicians in 2012. Through their
certification, these individuals can hold community safety seat checkup events to insure the safe installation of child passenger restraints,
provide public awareness campaigns on the potential dangers and
consequences associated with the use of outdated or damaged child
safety seats, and distribute child passenger restraints to families
within Lawrence, Martin, Orange and Washington counties based on
need.
Five community safety seat check-up clinics where held in 2012 and a
total of 63 child passenger safety seats were checked and 45 new seats
distributed in 2012.

The Energy Assistance Program Weatherization
The Energy Assistance Program is funded through the LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Block
Grant. Our Energy Program was available to households at or
below 150% of the federal poverty guideline. The 2011-2012
program was funded at $1,968,956.00.
Due to limited federal LIHEAP funding, the Indiana Housing
and Community Development Authority initiated a State
Emergency Energy Program. Funding expended through this
contract was $495,846.00.
During 2011-2012 there were 4,525 households
served with Regular Heating Assistance.
Service is available to households in
Lawrence, Orange, Washington
and Martin counties.
•
823 Households received Crisis Assistance
•
1,794 Disabled served

Hoosier Uplands continued to contract with the Indiana Housing
and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) to provide
energy conservation measures to reduce the utility bills of low
income residents of Lawrence, Washington, Orange and Martin
counties. The United States Department of Energy (DOE) and
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
allocates funding to IHCDA for distribution to a network of local
Community Action Agencies to preform weatherization work.
Eligible clients receive a comprehensive energy audit unique
to each client’s home to determine which energy efficiency
upgrades will maximize energy savings for the client. Because
the work completed on the client’s home is funded through the
federal government, all audits and energy efficiency upgrades
are installed at no cost to the client.

Department staff in our Bedford & Salem offices assisted Jackson
County REMC in administering their Share-A Watt Program.
Elderly or disabled customers received a $50.00 electric credit
through this program as long as funding allowed.
Due to the State of Indiana receiving Weatherization funding
through the American Recovery Act in 2009/2011, the DOE
2010/2011 Weatherization grant was extended into 2012.
An Additional allocation of $18,554.96 was awarded for a
total budget of $331,379.20. With this funding 45 homes were
weatherized with an average cost of $4,935.00 per home. This
grant also allowed the use of $50,229.00 in additional Health
and Safety dollars to address such items as furnace repairs and
replacements.
The 2012 cycle of LIHEAP Weatherization funding was
$458,080.00. We were able to provide assistance to 38 households
utilizing the capital intensive component of the grant where
up to $8,000.00 in average program costs can be spent on
each client’s home. There were also 40 households receiving
assistance through the mechanical component of the program.
This component assures combustion appliances are operating
safely and efficiently.

Community & Housing Development
Housing & Community
Development
Hoosier Uplands EDC has been a designated Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) since March 22, 1993.
The CHDO is a private nonprofit organization with a 501 (c) (3)
federal tax designation which must include in its services the
provision of decent and affordable housing to low and moderate
income households. Our service area includes the five counties
serviced by HUEDC – Crawford, Lawrence, Martin, Orange,
and Washington.
2012 brought about several changes for the housing department;
roles have been redefined and streamlined to more efficiently
and productively administer the housing programs. Natalie
Wells was elected to the role of President for the Affordable
Housing Association of Indiana. New staff members have been
trained and Natalie Wells and Debbie Taylor have received their
grant administration certificates from the Office of Community
& Rural Affairs. With this certification, we will be eligible to
help communities acquire federal funds to help with a variety of
projects such as sewer and water systems, community centers,
health and safety programs, and many others. These funds help
communities improve their quality of life and ensure the health
and safety of their citizens.
With a goal to provide a living environment that is safe, adaptable and comfortable, increasing the likelihood that everyone
can remain independent and continue to thrive in their homes as
circumstances change, the department has kept pace with funding sources to meet the needs of their clients. Environmental
and financial conditions of 2012 have required the adaptation of
current housing programs in order to do this. The devastating
storms of March 2012 brought about a demand for rehabilitation and reconstruction of homes lost in the deadly tornadoes.
Grants totaling $1.5 million were acquired to aid the storm survivors in Washington and Clark counties who were not insured
or underinsured. Construction of four new homes and the rehabilitation of two homes have been started, with several applications in various stages of processing. Ultimately, we have the
capacity to rebuild 16 homes and rehabilitate 22 storm-damaged homes.
HUEDC has also become the developer, owner, and/or provided management services for several multi-family housing projects within our service area. Phoenix on the Square, the revitalization of the burned historic town square in Paoli, IN was
transformed into 12 apartments and four commercial spaces had
the grand opening in October and is currently being rented out.
Stalker School in Bedford is another multi-family housing project with an anticipated 18 units. It is now under construction
with an expected October 2013 completion. Funding received to
acquire, rehabilitate and/or construct our apartment complexes
totals more than $38,631,183.00. At this time we have 370 apartments located in various complexes throughout our communities. The owner occupied rehabilitation program has received
$6,460,000.00 in grant funds to rehabilitate over 273 homes.
Environmental Services
Hoosier Uplands Environmental Services department has the
responsibility of inspecting all homes rehabilitated with grant
funding for lead based paint hazards. Energy audits, also a requirement of the funding sources, are conducted on all homes
receiving funding. J.R. Robling is a certified Lead Risk Assessor/Inspector, Lead Abatement Supervisor, and Lead Clearance
Examiner. He is also a BPI Building Analyst. Services are also
provided for the Weatherization Program and other non-profit
and government agencies.
We look forward to continued success, improvement, and
growth in 2013.

Housing & Family Services
Family Services
Hoosier Uplands Budget Counseling Program had a very successful
year. The Budget Counseling Service began in 1990 and over the past
several years hundreds of families have received assistance. This
money management program is a free service that assists persons of any
income by offering cost cutting suggestions, developing spending plans
and assisting with basic credit information. This program is supported
in part by contributions from some area financial institutions.
Hoosier Uplands offers HUD Housing Counseling to residents
of Lawrence, Orange, Martin and Washington counties. Housing
counseling is a free service that assists individuals with many types
of housing issues such as: housing selection, money management, fair
housing, mortgage default/delinquency/foreclosure, pre-purchase/
pre-rental counseling, loss mitigation and renter assistance. There were
66 families who received housing counseling services in 2012.
Hoosier Uplands works with the Indiana Foreclosure Prevention
Network. This network refers homeowners to Hoosier Uplands for free
foreclosure counseling and education. The goal is to lower foreclosure
rates in Indiana and give families information to make the right
decisions concerning their housing needs. There were 137 referrals to
this program in 2012.
Section 8 Housing
Choice Voucher Program
Hoosier Uplands
Scholarship Program
The Hoosier Uplands Scholarship Program was initiated in 1993
by the Hoosier Uplands Board of Directors to promote postsecondary education in the social services, health, and education
fields and to be awarded to students who exhibit a financial need.
It is offered to one graduating senior from each high school in the
five county area we serve. Those counties are Crawford, Lawrence,
Martin, Orange, and Washington counties.
The selection of each student is made by each school’s scholarship
committee which consists of school staff, or the school’s
community foundation which is business men or women within
the community.
Applications are available from the high school guidance
counselors, and must be turned in to them by their given deadlines.
As of Fall 2012, Hoosier Uplands presented 154 graduating
students with scholarship awards amounting to $195,150.00. To
date, the amount of the scholarship is $1,300.00 per student.
2012 marked the 20th year of the Hoosier Uplands Scholarship
program. Scholarships are funded in part through the Joan Cline
Scholarship Fund.
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
Program, which is HUD funded, assists lowincome tenants with acquiring and paying
for a better place to live. All types of rental
housing, including single homes, apartments,
duplexes, low-rise and mobile homes may
qualify for this program.
The
units must be located in Lawrence
(excluding Bedford City limits
and a two-mile radius), Orange,
Washington, Martin, Daviess, Greene
(excluding Linton, Bloomfield and
Jasonville city limits), Dubois and Pike
counties. A unit does not become part
of the HCVP until a certified family requests to
reside in the unit, the unit meets the program standards and a contract
is written.
Initial applications are taken by staff persons, and placed on a waiting list
that is maintained by Hoosier Uplands. When eligibility is completed,
the tenant is given a voucher that states Section 8 will be assisting them
with a portion of the rent. Eligible tenants will not pay more than
40% of their adjusted monthly gross income toward rent (including
utilities) and the remaining portion is paid directly to the owner by
Hoosier Uplands. Once on the program the family must comply with
the lease and program requirements. The owner must provide decent,
safe and sanitary housing at a reasonable rent. The dwelling must
pass the housing standards of the program and be maintained to those
standards as long as the owner receives housing assistance payments.
Currently 361 households are on the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

Strategic Development
The Strategic Development and Consulting Services division is
involved in a variety of programs. The programs focus on health
related issues such as tobacco cessation and prevention as well as
health care in rural areas including management of four community
health centers that provide access to health care in medically
underserved areas. Another main focus for the division is education.
This includes health education as well as the management of five after
school programs. The division had contracts totaling approximately
$1.8 million and was accountable to seven separate state and federal
funding sources in 2012.
Before and After School Services
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers After School
Program operates at the following schools: Burris, Hatfield, Orleans,
West Washington, and Springs Valley Elementary. The program also
operates a Rec Program for the Springs Valley Jr. High. The after
school program will serve more than 450 regular attending students
during the 2012-2013 school year.
Students at the after school program participate in a variety of
activities. At the beginning of the program, the students are served a
nutritious snack which is approved by the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA). Typical programming days MondayThursday consist of three 45 minute blocks of enrichment activities
for all students enrolled in the program. Academic time consists of
homework help, computer labs, or other engaged learning activities
for each age group. If the students do not have homework then 3rd,
4th, 5th, and 6th grade students may participate in Math and Science
centers or computer activities. Younger students may work on
academic worksheets, computer activities, or participate in academic
games. Enrichment time consists of hands-on science experiments
every Monday, organized team building activities every Tuesday,
character education and craft projects every Wednesday and three
planned clubs every Thursday. The last portion of the daily program
is considered free play where the students have time to play indoor
or outdoor activities.
Friday is a little more relaxed. If a child has homework on Friday and
would like to work on that, a place is provided for that to be done,
otherwise on Fun Fridays students will participate in activities such
as movie days, guest speakers and special celebrations.
All of these activities are offered free of charge to the families;
however, they are required to attend the program two times a week
and stay through the academic time. Hoosier Uplands works with
the schools to create a
support team to help the
students improve their
academic skills, school
day attendance, and
motivation to learn by
helping each child reach
their potential.

U P L A N D S
The SAFER morning program provides a child care service from
6:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. for students enrolled at Burris and Hatfield
Elementary Schools.
Rural Health Initiatives
Hoosier Uplands administered four contracts from the Indiana State
Department of Health for primary health care services. Over 27,000
patient visits were sponsored by Hoosier Uplands and the Indiana
State Department of Health.
The AgrAbility program enables a high quality lifestyle for farmers,
ranchers and other agricultural workers affected by disability. These
disabilities not only include physical disabilities but also many other
conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and behavioral health issues.
Through education and assistance, AgrAbility helps to eliminate, or at
least minimize, obstacles that inhibit success in production agriculture
or agriculture-related occupations. Funded through the USDA, it is
managed by Purdue University with Hoosier Uplands contracted to
serve southern Indiana. AgrAbility develops service capacity through
innovative education programs, encourages networking to facilitate
information sharing, and provides direct services through individual
consultations. Hoosier Uplands responsibilities include working with
Purdue Extension, Area Agencies on Aging, Centers for Independent
Living, Future Farmers Administration (FFA) Chapters, rehabilitation
facilities, clients, and others as needed. This year the program held its
first Veterans in Agriculture Conference. AgrAbility’s mission is to
enhance and protect quality of life and preserve livelihoods.
ISDH Tuberculosis Program
The tuberculosis program was very busy as well as successful
during 2012. There were seven TB classes given to the county health
departments. Regional meetings were held this fall at two different
sites and approximately 100 nurses attended. Each month, staff
meetings are held as well as a Cohort review in which specific cases
are presented to the staff and attending physician of local health
departments.
Representatives from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) visited
this year. During this time, they conducted site visits to health
departments, labs and the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH).
A presentation was done for them as to TB’s trials and triumphs
with the counties which proved to be helpful for both parties. The
program received encouragement and good remarks from the CDC.
South Central Indiana Area
Health Education Center
The South Central Indiana Area Health Education Center (AHEC)
through Hoosier Uplands served a total of 12 counties in south
central Indiana during 2012. AHEC’s assist in the training of health
professionals, recruit students into health professions careers, provide

continuing education for health professionals, especially for providers
in underserved communities, and respond to emerging health issues.
A total of 10 mini-grants were funded which provided opportunities
for health professionals and students to take part in continuing
education programs and community based events in the service
area. A total of 55 students were exposed to health careers through
summer camps sponsored by AHEC and IU Health Bloomington and
Paoli Hospitals. Over 850 health professionals received continuing
education credits through AHEC sponsored programs.
The Kids into Health Careers Program provided health career
information to over 4,000 elementary, middle and high school
students with a variety of programs. The programs inform students
about a variety of health careers and encourage students to seek
careers as health professionals. The Youth Health Service Corps
prepares students for a career in the health field through trainings
and job shadowing.
The Health Care Professional’s Training Program places health
professions students in rural and underserved sites to increase
the number of providers there and to improve the health of the
underserved population. Three new sites were developed in 2012
that train family medicine students, nursing students, respiratory
care, pharmacy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy students.
These sites are located in Austin, Jeffersonville, and Paoli, Indiana.
Tobacco Prevention and Cessation
Daviess, Lawrence, and
Orange counties have
Tobacco Prevention
and Cessation grants
through the Indiana State
Department of Health.
The hard work of the
coalitions and program
coordinators have resulted
in additional businesses,
school districts, and
service organizations
instituting tobacco-free
policies. Most recently
North Knox School District
and Barr-Reeve School District made the decision to implement a
tobacco-free policy.
smoke exposure through public education and policy. Outreach was
conducted with healthcare clinics, businesses, organizations, public
housing administrators, and educational institutions in order to
increase tobacco cessation and the use of Quitline services throughout
the county.
Events such as town hall meetings and health fairs have been
coordinated in an effort to educate the community and gain support
for tobacco free policies. These events have included attendance
and presentations by the mayors, city council members, insurance
representatives, private club members, students, business owners,
cessation specialists, health care providers, educators, and members
from the community. Information and brochures are disseminated
throughout the surrounding counties and presentations are given to
area businesses, schools, and organizations.
Outreach was conducted with healthcare providers by disseminating
information and coordinating training events in order to educate
healthcare providers regarding motivational interviewing, cessation
systems and the new Clinical Practices Guidelines for healthcare
providers. A targeted population was pregnant women in all of ITPC
counties due to the high smoking rates among that group.
The coalition had an active presence during community events such
as the 4-H fair, community festivals and health fairs. The coalition
uses this opportunity to reach out to the community in an effort to
educate them about the Indiana Tobacco Quitline and gain their
support for tobacco free policies.
Youth Development &
Prevention Initiatives
The Grassroots Prevention Services Coalition hosted Safe Night on
June 9, 2012 which marked the 13th year for the event. The purpose
of the event was to provide families with information on drug,
alcohol, tobacco, and violence prevention along with overall healthy
lifestyles. Safe Night 2012 was a huge success and drew over 4,000
parents, grandparents, and children. Forty-two local businesses
and organizations participated in the event by having a booth that
provided families with fun activities and prevention messages.
Another 96 businesses and organizations either provided monetary
or in-kind donations to make the event possible. The local community
provided huge support to this year’s event and could not have taken
place without their help.
The top accomplishment this year was the passage of the new
statewide workplace smoke-free air legislation protecting many
Hoosier workers from deadly secondhand smoke. All workers
are now covered except in exempt bars, private clubs, and casinos.
Training and assistance was provided to businesses in Lawrence,
Orange, Daviess, and surrounding counties to help them comply
with the new law.

Anniversary. Here’s to 35 more!

the #1 Home Health & Hospice Agency in the Times-Mail Newspapers
Readers Choice Awards.
Hoosier Uplands Home Health Care had three RN’s; Lee Sanders,
Michelle White and Debbie Guthrie authorized by CMS to perform
psychiatric evaluations and therapy in the home. There may be times
other disciplines are needed in conjunction with the RN services. This

Home Health Care and Hospice are vital services, especially in the rural
areas served by Hoosier Uplands. Services provided by the home care
staff can prevent or shorten a hospital or nursing home stay. Home
health promotes independent living and speeds the rehabilitation and
recovery process by allowing a person to recuperate in familiar home
surroundings.
Hospice supports the client and family as they face the last stages of
life, by offering symptom management and family togetherness.
