Project Title:
Enhancing Care and Support, Providing Professional Education and Increasing Awareness in the TriCities
Organization Background:
The Alzheimer's Association is the world leader in Alzheimer's research and support. We're fighting on
your behalf to give everyone a reason to hope.
The Greater Richmond Chapter serves a 24-county, 5-city region that includes the Greater Richmond,
Fredericksburg, Middle Peninsula, Northern Neck, and Petersburg areas of Virginia.
The Tri-Cities Branch is the only local organization dedicated solely to helping those with Alzheimer's
and other dementia diseases and their caregivers. This branch opened in 2002 and is counseled by a local
Advisory Council represented by several local senior service companies and agencies.
Through the Branch's services of a 24/7 helpline, higher education, care consultations, support groups and
respite scholarships, the Branch provided immediate, intensive, and individualized services for over 1,200
persons in the 2009 fiscal year.
Organization History:
The Alzheimer's Association Greater Richmond Chapter was established in 1981 with the organization of
a single family support group and became a Chapter of the National Alzheimer's Association in 1983. In
its beginning, the Chapter was composed exclusively of dedicated volunteers. Over the years, the Chapter
has grown to include three branch offices in Fredericksburg, Gloucester, and Colonial Heights as well as a
headquarters office in Richmond.
Current Programs:
The Alzheimer's Association provides five core services to meet the needs of individuals, families, care
partners, and health care professionals dealing with Alzheimer's and other dementia diseases: 1.
Information & Referral Service - 24/7 Helpline, e-newsletter, referral packets, and website; 2. Education
- workshops for persons with dementia diseases, caregivers, clergy and parish nurses, in-service training
for professionals, community presentations and health fairs; 3. Care Consultation - assistance for persons
with the disease and/or their families to create a plan of care. This includes Respite Care Scholarships
which pay for care in a licensed facility, an adult care center or by an in-home care provider; 4. Support
Groups - monthly gatherings for caregivers, family members and persons with the disease for emotional
support and the exchange of ideas; 5. Safety Programs - identification programs to safely and timely
return individuals who wander.

Project Description:
The Alzheimer's Association seeks to provide Enhanced Care and Support, Professional Education and
Increase Awareness to improve the quality of life for families struggling with dementia.
The Association will provide care and support and help decrease caregiver stress and isolation by
continuing to provide respite. With the majority of all persons with Alzheimer's being cared for at home,
respite is a critical component in helping families provide enhanced care and supporting their heavy load
of caregiving. The Alzheimer's Association's Respite Care Program makes a significant and measurable
improvement in the health and quality of life for caregivers; consequently, improving the lives of those
suffering with the disease.
Providing education to professionals who often come in contact with families struggling with dementia is
also an important way that the Association impacts the quality of life for families. One group of
professionals who have requested more education regarding dementia diseases and caring for those with
the disease are social workers. The Alzheimer's Association has had great success in educating Adult
Protective Services workers by working with various Departments of Social Service Agencies in our
service area to organize annual trainings.
Adult Protective Service Workers in local Departments of Social Services are often involved with
individuals with dementia. People with dementia are especially vulnerable because the disease may
prevent them from reporting the abuse or recognizing it. They also may fall prey to strangers who take
advantage of their cognitive impairment. Abuse may take many forms: physical, emotional, neglect,
financial, sexual, confinement, willful deprivation, and self-neglect.
Lastly, the past funding from the Cameron Foundation for increased awareness helped to increase the
community's knowledge of the Association's programs and Services dramatically. We believe strongly
that continued promotions of services in the Tri-Cities will benefit the community at large and increase
participation in Association programs.

Community Need:
Approximately 3,000 individuals in the Tri-Cities Branch service area have Alzheimer's disease, a fatal
disease that is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. The number suffering from
Alzheimer's will continue to increase rapidly. The number may grow even more quickly in the Tri-Cities
area as many of the Fort Lee employees choose to retire in the area. Furthermore, this figure does not
take into account those suffering from other dementia disorders such as vascular dementia, Parkinson's,
etc. who are also served by the Association.

TAX ID: 13-3039601 LOCAL ID: 54-1263555
For every person suffering from dementia, three or more family members, friends and/or caregivers are
also adversely affected. In fact, 80% of persons with Alzheimer's are cared for at home. The nature of the
disease requires a high level of caregiving. The disease progresses in stages over 8 to 20 years and
involves gradual memory loss, decline in the ability to perform daily tasks, disorientation, difficulty in
learning, loss of language, impairment of judgment, and personality changes. Caregivers assume growing
responsibilities for feeding, bathing, toileting, and making difficult medical, financial and legal decisions.
Caregiving impacts the mental, emotional and physical health of the caregiver. Just one startling fact is
that it is estimated that 75% of caregivers suffer from depression. According to the National Center on
Caregiving, "a large and growing body of evidence reveals that providing care for a chronically sick
person can have harmful physical, mental, and emotional consequences for the caregiver. As families
struggle to care for others, their own health is put in danger" (2006). Caregiver exhaustion can potentially
lead to abuse of the loved one with dementia.
The cost of caregiving is financially burdensome to families. Most seniors in the Tri-Cities area cannot
afford the expense of assisted living or nursing home care which can cost over $75,000 annually.
Therefore, families often have no choice but to care for their loved ones at home.
Relation to the Foundation’s Mission:
The Association's programs and services improve the quality of life for caregivers by reducing their
stress, improving their emotional and psychological well being, improving their physical health and
assisting them in financial and legal matters often associated with the disease. Educational programs and
support groups continue to promote better understanding of the disease. As a result, better care is
provided for the loved ones with dementia. Studies indicate that caregivers who increase their knowledge
and use respite services are better able to maintain their own health, thus delaying or avoiding entirely the
need for their loved ones to be placed in a costly long-term care facility.
Caregiving burden not only affects the caregiver and the person with the disease but also the larger
community--their employers, churches, neighbors, friends and families. Caregiver services are proven and
effective ways to ease caregiver burden and help improve the health of the greater community.
Sustainability:
Because the Chapter raises 100% of its operating funds each year, a variety of fund development
strategies and resources are utilized. The primary source of revenue continues to come from the Chapter's
Signature event, Walk to End Alzheimer's, which has experienced more than 85% growth in the past 5
years.
The Walks are followed closely by donations from individuals and grants from private and public
foundations. The Chapter, recognizing that it has a natural constituency of potential donors who have
been personally affected by the disease, has engaged in a concerted effort to increase revenue from
individuals.
Partnerships:
The Chapter engages with the Aging Community both on a national and local level. The Regional
Director has developed strong professional referral networks in the community to provide the best and
most personalized care possible. Referrals of individuals and families in need of respite are made by adult
day centers, long term care facilities, in-home service providers, and Area Agencies on Aging. For the
Adult Protective Care Training, the Association will be partnering with local Departments of Social
Services.

AMERICAN RED CROSS - SOUTHSIDE AREA CHAPTER

Project Title:
Ready 365 BioMed
Founded in 1881, the American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of
emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Today the Red Cross
responds to more than 70,000 disasters annually. Additionally, we offer services for the armed forces,
international disaster relief, preparedness, health, and safety and blood collection.
■Compassionate: We are dedicated to improving the lives of those we serve and to treating each other
with care and respect.
■Collaborative: We work together as One Red Cross family, in partnership with other organizations, and
always embrace diversity and inclusiveness.
■Creative: We seek new ideas, are open to change and always look for better ways to serve those in need.
■Credible: We act with integrity, are transparent guardians of the public trust and honor our promises.
■Committed: We hold ourselves accountable for defining and meeting clear objectives, delivering on our
mission and carefully stewarding our donor funds.
Clara Barton and a circle of her acquaintances founded the American Red Cross in Washington, D.C. on
May 21, 1881.
The Red Cross received our first congressional charter in 1900 and a second in 1905, the year after Barton
resigned from the organization. The most recent version of the charter, which was adopted in May 2007,
restates the traditional purposes of the organization which include giving relief to and serving as a
medium of communication between members of the American armed forces and their families and
providing national and international disaster relief and mitigation.
Prior to the First World War, the Red Cross introduced its first aid, water safety, and public health nursing
programs. With the outbreak of war, the organization experienced phenomenal growth. The number of
local chapters jumped from 107 in 1914 to 3,864 in 1918 and membership grew from 17,000 to over 20
million adult and 11 million Junior Red Cross members. The public contributed $400 million in funds and
material to support Red Cross programs, including those for American and Allied forces and civilian
refugees. The Red Cross staffed hospitals and ambulance companies and recruited 20,000 registered
nurses to serve the military. Additional Red Cross nurses came forward to combat the worldwide
influenza epidemic of 1918.
After the war, the Red Cross focused on service to veterans and enhanced our programs in safety training,
accident prevention, home care for the sick, and nutrition education. We also provided relief for victims
of such major disasters as the Mississippi River floods in 1927 and severe drought and the Depression
during the 1930s.
The Second World War called upon the Red Cross to provide extensive services once again to the U.S.
military, Allies, and civilian war victims. We enrolled more than 104,000 nurses for military service,
prepared 27 million packages for American and Allied prisoners of war, and shipped over 300,000 tons of

supplies overseas. At the military's request, the Red Cross also initiated a national blood program that
collected 13.3 million pints of blood for use by the armed forces.
After World War II, the Red Cross introduced the first nationwide civilian blood program that now
supplies more than 40 percent of the blood and blood products in this country. During the 1990s, we
engineered a massive modernization of our blood services operations to improve the safety of our blood
products. We continued to provide services to members of the armed forces and their families, including
during the Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf wars. The Red Cross also expanded our services into such fields as
civil defense, CPR/AED training, HIV/AIDS education, and the provision of emotional care and support
in the wake of disasters. Since 2006, the Red Cross and FEMA have worked together helping government
agencies and community organizations plan, coordinate and provide feeding, sheltering and family
reunification services for people affected by disasters.
Current Programs:
Today, the supporters, volunteers and employees of the American Red Cross provide compassionate care
in five critical areas:
*People affected by disasters in America
*Support for members of the military and their families
*Blood collection, processing and distribution
*Health and safety education and training
*International relief and development

People in Virginia trust and rely on the Red Cross to serve as the channel through which donors give the
essential, lifesaving gift of blood. Together with our volunteer blood donors, the Red Cross plays an
integral role in the delivery of modern health care, and many medical treatments and procedures involving
blood transfusions that would not be possible without the reliable blood supply that we provide.
In the Coastal and Central Virginia region alone, we currently serve 45 hospitals, including three

In Fiscal Year 2015, the number of red cell units distributed to the hospitals served totaled 117,735. This
number is expected to exponentially increase with the addition of Virginia Commonwealth University
Medical Center, for which the American Red Cross became the primary supplier beginning in May of
2015. Today, our organization is presented with several challenges in meeting blood supply needs.
The journey from blood donor to patient is complex and costly. Significant resources are needed to
collect, test and distribute the blood supply that people all across America, including right here in Virginia
depend on and trust will be there every day. We are seeking support to help ensure that we can continue
to fulfill our community blood needs, which will help improve the health and quality of life of residents in
Coastal and Central Virginia. With financial support, we can:
• Conduct essential outreach and donor recruitment efforts to increase supply.
• Conduct rigorous testing to provide the safest possible blood supply.
• Maintain and improve our infrastructure needs, such as equipment or vehicles, to help ensure blood is
delivered where and when it's needed.
Blood helps save lives. The need for blood is constant. Every two seconds in America, accident victims,
cancer patients, children with blood disorders and others require blood transfusions. There is often no
alternative.
With an aging population and changing demographics, our nation's supply of and demand for blood and
blood products will evolve rapidly in the coming years. To meet these changing demands, we must
engage a new generation of donors through comprehensive educational platforms, unique outreach and
engagement opportunities, and with technology and social media.
Blood and blood products are perishable and cannot be manufactured. As a result, these resources must be
continually replenished. Our volunteer blood donors help meet this need by selflessly giving the gift of
life. In Coastal and Central Virginia, we distribute nearly 120,000 units of blood to hospitals annually.
Critical to the efficient collection of blood, the Coastal and Central Virginia areas maintain a fleet of more
than 75 blood services, emergency and other vehicles that travel throughout the region each week
collecting and transporting blood and supplies to help support those in need.
After blood is collected, it is sent to one of three National Testing Laboratories across the country.
Rigorous tests are performed on each unit of donated blood to establish the blood type and test for
infectious diseases. A quality system to ensure all donated blood is screened for transfusion-transmissible
infections is critical to maintaining the safest blood supply possible.

CENTRAL VIRGINIA HEALTH SERVICES
TAX ID: 54-0887287
Project Title:
Primary Care at Appomattox Area Health and Wellness Center
CVHS exists to provide safe, accessible, affordable, comprehensive, high quality and culturally sensitive
care to the patients it serves.
Central Virginia Health Services (CVHS) opened 45 years ago on the day after Thanksgiving. It was the
first community health center in Virginia and was formed to address critical health concerns and
disparities found in three rural counties, Buckingham, Cumberland and Fluvanna. Over the intervening
years, CVHS grew to be Virginia's largest community health center and includes urban and rural
communities in its service area. Each community is different; however, the overarching issue continues to
be a need for high quality, affordable primary care. Originally, community health center grants were
awarded for medical care only; as times changed, and funding became available, primary care includes all
aspects of a person's health. This includes medical, pharmacy, dental, and behavioral health as well as
other ancillary or enabling services required by patients to ensure continuity of care.
CVHS now includes sixteen sites. Some of these have come about as a result of mergers; others were
created as new starts. In Petersburg, the Health Care Alliance was created as an independent non-profit
offering primary medical care to underserved and uninsured residents of this community. As the Alliance
grew, it served as a model and then "parent" for the Hopewell-Prince George Community Health Center.
In Petersburg, the Alliance outgrew its space so CVHS applied for and received an expanded medical
capacity grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration. An additional grant from The
Cameron Foundation enabled CVHS to create an integrated, comprehensive primary care facility with the
addition of dental and behavioral health as well as health education, AAHWC was created. In addition to
the two Petersburg sites, CVHS also operates another center in Hopewell. The Alliance opened in 1998 to
provide family medical services, targeting low-income, uninsured residents of the Petersburg area. In
1999, it applied for and was granted community health center funding from the Health Resources and
Services Administration. At the same time, it merged with CVHS. The Alliance quickly outgrew the
space it shared with the Petersburg Health Department. CVHS recognized that the only way to expand
access to care was to create a new facility, and AAHWC was formed. CVHS' leadership decided that it
should maintain its downtown presence for patients who walk, ride the bus, or otherwise find the Alliance
within easy reach of their homes. AAHWC was established near Southside Regional Medical Center to be
more accessible to uninsured individuals referred from SRMC, and to strengthen the relationship between
the hospital and CVHS. After CVHS received an Expanded Medical Services grant from the Health
Resources and Services Administration and a further, significant grant from The Cameron Foundation,
CVHS opened AAHWC in 2007. While the HRSA grant supported medical services, the Cameron
Foundation grant enabled CVHS to add much needed dental, behavioral health, patient education, and
additional medical services. The pharmacy was relocated from the Alliance to AAHWC and, like the
Alliance, offers its services to anyone who needs them, regardless of their income or insurance status.
Current Programs:
AAHWC provides medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services to its patients. It targets
medically underserved individuals, which includes anyone of any age. For individuals under 200% of
Federal Poverty Level (FPL), a sliding fee (discount) is offered, with a minimal fee being offered to those
at or below 100% of FPL. From 101-200% of FPL, the sliding fee is graduated; at 201% of FPL and
above, patients must pay the full fee. Fees are determined based on income and family size. The

pharmacy offers medications on the sliding fee, as well as providing enrollment assistance to patients who
qualify for the national drug companies' patient assistance programs. An important component of health
services includes educating patients about their conditions, their medications, the need for follow-up and
care, and counseling to help patients better manage their own health. Medical services include a full range
of family practice medical care, including well (preventive) and sick visits, chronic disease management
and early detection of serious conditions through routine testing. General dentistry services (fillings,
extractions, cleaning, and restorative care) are available to all age groups. Behavioral health includes
counseling for depression and anxiety disorders, relationship and anger management issues. Seriously
mentally ill unstable patients are referred to District 19.
Additional HRSA funding received in 2013 enabled CVHS to hire and train certified application
counselors to provide outreach and enrollment services to patients and other community residents who
seek to qualify for the health insurance marketplace plans available through the Affordable Care Act. The
Counselors also spend a significant amount of time with individuals in this area who fall into the
"coverage gap" -- those individuals who want insurance but who make too little money to qualify for
insurance, but make too much money to qualify for Medicaid. For the Petersburg area, this gap affects a
significant number of people.

Health Care
The project seeks to provide high quality, comprehensive primary care services including medical, dental,
behavioral health, and pharmacy services. To supplement the work of the providers of these services, a
case management team, including a case manager, care coordinator and patient educator provide wrap
around services that support, encourage and coach targeted patients to better manage their health. In
addition to these services, AAHWC also provides a staff person to conduct outreach and enrollment
assistance to individuals seeking insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance plans.
A number of those screened have been found eligible for Medicaid as well. CVHS provides services at
two sites in Petersburg; however, funding is specifically requested for Appomattox Area Health and
Wellness Center. AAHWC is the largest of the two sites and offers the widest services; however, its
dental, behavioral health and case management services are available to patients at both sites. Primary
medical care includes both well and sick visits, chronic disease management and routine screening for a

number of more serious conditions as deemed appropriate based on patients' risk factors, age, and current
health conditions. Patients of all ages are seen and treated. Dental services include general dentistry,
including dental hygiene, extractions, routine check-ups. The dentist sees patients from age 3 and over.
The majority of patients seen in dental are adults; it is this group that has the highest levels of
uninsuredness. All patients over age 12 are screened for depression. Any patients scoring high for
depression is referred to behavioral health, which provides assessment and treatment. In addition, the
LCSW provides individual, group and family counseling on a wide variety of issues, including
relationship issues, anxiety disorders and other similar types of issues. Patient requiring assistance with
serious mental illness and substance abuse are referred to other community providers. AAHWC sees
patients regardless of their insurance or income status. Patients below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level
are eligible to apply for the sliding fee. Patients at or below 100% of FPL are charged a minimum fee of
$15.00. Truly indigent patients may make other arrangements with the Practice Manager. AAHWC also
takes all major insurance plans, and the sliding fee is available to those with high deductibles and co-pays.
AAHWC offers after hours coverage and offers late evening hours one day/week to accommodate
working schedules. For patients who require care beyond the primary care level, AAHWC refers patients
to specialists, usually at VCU Health system or occasionally to Pathways (depending on the specialty
service required). Insured patients are referred based on their insurance plans. Anyone from any
community is welcome as a patient; most patients come from the Cameron service area.

Outcome Area:
Healthy Residents
Community Need:
There is a high need for affordable, accessible, and well-integrated primary care to serve residents of
Petersburg and surrounding areas. Data from both the annual County Health Rankings and the Virginia
Atlas for Community Health demonstrate huge areas of concern in terms of health outcomes. While
Petersburg's rank in the County Health Rankings has improved modestly (now 131 of 133 Virginia
localities), residents of this city have a long way to go in terms of improving health outcomes. Obesity
rates (greater than 1 in 3), smoking, and chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease,
and depression continue to show as areas of high need. The Cameron Foundation's 2013 Needs
Assessment pointed to the need for affordable health care and insurance, better health education, and
integration of behavioral health into primary care. While much of the discussion around insurance has
centered on medical coverage, lack of dental coverage is also a barrier to good dental care. Behavioral
health outcomes for this area have been poor for decades. Area poverty rates are very high; for children,
nearly three times the state average (47% vs 16%). Petersburg's large minority population (77% African
American) points to a strong need to address health disparities. Lack of insurance (21% of Petersburg's
adults), poor use of the health care system, and poor health literacy contribute to poor health outcomes,
illness, disability, and premature death. One of the issues that is hard to quantify but which AAHWC's
staff has recognized is that patients face numerous barriers when trying to address their needs. It is
apparent that case management, care coordination and health education are also lacking. These services
can provide the wrap around care to ensure that patients are able to be compliant with their appointments
and medications and can find and use information available to them for the management of their care.
Long term solutions to health care are also hampered by poor reimbursement rates, aggravated by

Virginia's unwillingness to expand Medicaid insurance to the poorest in our community. CVHS continues
to believe that an integrated, comprehensive approach to primary care, supplemented by relationships
with other providers, agencies, and community organizations, is needed to ensure long-term, ongoing
improvements for residents of this community.
This project addresses the community need for affordable health care through offering comprehensive
primary care, using an income based sliding fee. AAHWC's goal is to improve access to care and improve
health outcomes, both important to the mission of the Foundation. AAHWC staff works hard to reduce
other barriers to care, including lack of insurance, cultural and linguistic obstacles, or low educational
attainment. Its outreach and enrollment staff assist with helping patients and community residents apply
for and receive insurance coverage for which they are eligible. AAHWC is a community based and
community directed organization; patients make up the majority (about 64.7%) of the CVHS Board of
Directors. The target population includes the poor, uninsured, underinsured and otherwise medically
underserved population. Its integrated approach to care and collaborative relationships with other area
providers offer patients an opportunity for better health and a better quality of life.
AAHWC works to ensure that each patient is provided with the care and tools/education they need to
achieve their best possible health outcome. Patients are encouraged to take responsibility for their own
health by encouraging their participation in health education and through making nominal payments for
the services they receive. Providers and the case management team work ensure that patients understand
their health conditions. All CVHS providers, including those at AAHWC, track their patients' clinical
outcomes measures across the age spectrum to gauge the effectiveness of treatment plans.
Sustainability:
CVHS staff will continue to work to make this project sustainable through a combination of its federal
grant, patient fees and fundraising. Advocacy continues to be in important part of its fundraising work;
many of its patients would qualify for Medicaid if Virginia would expand coverage. Marketing efforts to
increase the numbers of patients are ongoing. The CVHS Development Director is also forming a
development task force with a goal to raise additional funding in the coming year. A variety of private
charitable funding sources will be sought, including The Community Foundation of Richmond. Other
Foundations, businesses and individuals will be included in its fundraising efforts. The goal (as identified
in the attached budget) is to raise $100,000 in the coming year.
Partnerships:
CVHS continues to enjoy a partnership with the YMCA related to the pre-diabetes education. A number
of patients requiring specialty referrals such as cardiology are regularly sent to Pathways to their specialty
clinic. However, most of the uninsured referrals are made with VCU health system with whom CVHS has
had a long time relationship. Other partners are used for referrals, such as the Health Department and
Southside Regional Medical Center.

TAX ID: 54-6001354
Project Title:
City of Hopewell as Fiscal Sponsor for Hopewell Prince George Healthy Families Home Visitation and
Targeted Case ManagementHome Visitation & Targeted Case Management
Healthy Families mission is to ensure that children are born healthy, reach school age healthy and ready
to learn, and grow to be healthy contributing members of their communities.
Hopewell-Prince George Healthy Families (HPGHF) was brought to Hopewell due to the efforts of
community leaders, John Randolph Medical Center, District-19 and an Advocacy team. Members of the
community planning team saw a need in 1997 to look at the needs of "at risk" families in the City of
Hopewell and Prince George because of the high child abuse and neglect rates. Hopewell was #3 in the
state at that time for child abuse and neglect and this caused fear and concern. Initial implementation of
HPGHF was made possible by John Randolph Foundation, JRMC and the Family & Children's Service of
Richmond and concerned citizens. Healthy Families America and Prevent Child Abuse Virginia helped
the city and county to get set up to provide services. All program staff was hired by Jan. 1999 and
services to the community began.
Current Programs:
Healthy Families currently provide the following programs and services: Intensive Home Visitation
services, Targeted Case Management, Parent Education Classes, Transportation and Parent Groups.

Outcome Area:
Healthy Residents
Community Need:
The community need or problem to be addressed by the project is child abuse and neglect, poverty,
health, school readiness, mental illness and poor parenting skills.
The Cameron Foundation strives to transform the Tri-Cities and surrounding counties into a healthy,
vibrant, and economically vital region by strategically leveraging resources for community impact.
In working towards this mission, the Foundation focuses on six outcome areas, including healthy
residents, education excellence, cultural richness, a vital economy, vibrant communities, and dynamic
nonprofits.
HPGHF focuses on outcomes as well that include healthy children and prenatal moms, educating parents
on child development, prevention of child abuse and neglect and providing community resources. Our
project will address several community needs which include: prevention of child abuse and neglect, early
childhood development, behavioral health, parenting education/skills, school readiness and poverty.
Home Visitor's/Case Managers are providing home visitation services to "at risk," families who have risk
factors for child abuse and neglect. As we provide home visitation, we are also providing case
management services. Targeted Case Management (TCM) services assist individual children and adults
residing in a community setting, in accessing needed medical, psychiatric, social, educational, vocational
and other supports essential to meeting basic needs. Healthy Families and TCM addresses the community
needs or problems as it relates to the mission of the foundation.
Sustainability:
Subcontracting with The Community Services Board (District 19) for Targeted Case Management is one
way in which Healthy Families is working to become sustainable. Since this is a new project starting July
2015, it will take a few years before we are sustainable. We also plan to become sustainable by working
with the General Assembly and Prevent Child Abuse Virginia to leverage state funding for Healthy
Families sites.
Partnerships:
There are no proposed partnerships, but we will maintain the current partnerships.

GREATER RICHMOND FIT4KIDS
TAX ID: 27-2817718
Project Title:
Petersburg Wellness Integration
Greater Richmond Fit4Kids is a non-profit organization created to improve the health and wellness of
children by increasing physical activity and promoting healthy eating. The organization is focused on
improving children's health and reducing childhood obesity.
Fit4Kids was established in 2010 by the Sports Backers and The Robins Foundation to focus solely on
reducing and preventing childhood obesity in the greater Richmond region. Sports Backers is a wellrespected non-profit organization that promotes physical activity through training and events such as the
Richmond Marathon and the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k. After hosting several successful childhood
obesity summits, Sports Backers determined there was a need for a stand-alone organization to focus
exclusively on childhood obesity prevention. Since nutrition is outside its mission, Sports Backers
launched Fit4Kids. Sports Backers donated staff time and helped to assemble an initial Board of Directors
to create a new organization, Fit4Kids. Fit4Kids "spun off" Sports Backers and gained independent nonprofit status in 2011. Since that time, Fit4Kids has developed two direct programs and leads a regional
childhood obesity prevention coalition. In its third year of school-based programming, which concluded
in June, Fit4Kids reached more than 5,000 local children through our Wellness Integration and Learning
Garden programs.
Current Programs:
Fit4Kids two primary school-based programs are Wellness Integration and Learning Gardens. Fit4Kids
Wellness Integration program infuses schools with a culture of physical activity and nutrition. Our
Fit4Kids Wellness Integration Specialists, who are certified, experienced teachers, lead active lessons,
start fitness and running clubs, install walking tracks, conduct taste tests of fruits and vegetables in
cafeterias, host family fun and fitness nights, and place stationary bikes and stability balls in classrooms.
Last school year, the Wellness Integration program reached more than 3,000 students at five schools. This
school year, the program serves schools in Hopewell, Chesterfield, Henrico, and Richmond.
Fit4Kids Learning Gardens engage children in planting, growing, harvesting, and best of all, tasting fresh,
flavorful food--changing the way children feel about vegetables. Fit4Kids believes that getting kids into
the garden and tasting vegetables at a young age will inspire them to develop healthy eating habits for
life. Last fiscal year, 4,385 students at 13 schools benefitted from lessons in a Fit4Kids Learning Garden.
In addition to school-based programs, Fit4Kids convenes the Greater Richmond Coalition for Healthy
Children, a regional coalition working to advance programs and policies to prevent childhood obesity.
The coalition includes representatives from government, non-profits, and businesses across the region.
The coalition aims to assess current levels of childhood obesity in the region through BMI data collection
and also supports initiatives to reduce it. As part of the coalition, Fit4Kids leads several initiatives
including Safe Routes to Schools, Food Explorers, and Eat Fresh RPS (an initiative to install garden patch
salad bars in 20 Richmond Public Schools).

For the proposed project, Fit4Kids will partner with a A.P. Hill Elementary School to implement
Wellness Integration, a program to infuse the school with a culture of health and wellness.
Fit4Kid's Wellness Integration program empowers elementary school teachers to incorporate movement
and health promotion messages into the classroom. Fit4Kids Wellness Integration Specialists, who are
certified teachers, develop and teach lively lessons that integrate physical activity into any subject.
Imagine this: Instead of a doing a math worksheet, first graders play a game of subtraction tag; instead of
memorizing American history from a text book, third graders compete in a famous face relay race.
Wellness Integration Specialists train teachers to utilize kinesthetic strategies in the classroom. A CDC
meta-analysis showed positive associations between classroom-based physical activity and cognitive
skills, academic behavior, and academic achievement.
In addition to creating active classrooms, Wellness Integration Specialists work to infuse the entire school
community with a culture of physical activity and nutrition. Specialists have started fitness and running
clubs, installed walking tracks, conducted fruit and veggie taste tests in cafeterias, hosted family fun and
fitness nights, organized health fairs, and placed stationary bikes and stability balls throughout the
schools.
Fit4Kids currently employs four full-time Wellness Integration Specialists. They are currently working
with Ginter Park Elementary in Richmond, Holladay Elementary in Henrico, Marguerite Christian in
Chesterfield and Patrick Copeland Elementary in Hopewell. We are also continuing to work on the
program's sustainability at Bellwood and Elizabeth Scott Elementary Schools in Chesterfield.
Fit4Kids' President, in consultation with the Board of Directors, has managed the school selection
process. For the Wellness Integration program, only Title I schools, with high rates of students eligible for
free/reduced lunch are considered. When considering a school, Fit4Kids looks for strong support from the
Administration (Principal and Assistant Principal) and from a core group of classroom teachers. Three
years ago, when Fit4Kids first selected a school, we received strong support from several School Board

and central office administrators in Chesterfield County. Fit4Kids selected Bellwood Elementary in
Chesterfield because of this "top down" and "bottom up" support. Geographic diversity is also important
to Fit4Kids; after testing the model in Chesterfield, the program has expanded to Richmond, Henrico, and
Hopewell. If this project is funded, the project will expand to Petersburg.
Fit4Kids Wellness Integration program serves more than 3,000 students. Last school year, Fit4Kids' four
Wellness Integration Specialists taught 1,900 physically active lessons, totaling more than 40,000 minutes
of classroom activity. More than 96% of teachers at Fit4Kids Wellness Integration schools are
comfortable planning active lessons for their classrooms. 74% of parents surveyed said their children
have changed physical activity and eating behaviors based on Fit4Kids programming at their school.

Outcome Area:
Healthy Residents
Community Need:
Children and youth today are less healthy than ever. Lack of physical activity and poor diets have created
a national obesity epidemic in our country. Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates have
tripled. Childhood obesity is a major concern in the Richmond region, especially Petersburg. The
following data from the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, as reported on the Atlas for Community
Health web site, is for 14-19 year old students. Unfortunately, similar data is not available in our region
on elementary school-aged children. But the bad habits that shape these outcomes are formed when
students are young, in preschool and elementary school.
•
16% of youth are obese and 23% of students are overweight (compared to the statewide 11%
obese and 17% overweight).
•
During the 7 days prior to the survey, 90% of teenagers ate vegetables less than three times per
day and 83% ate fruit or drank 100% fruit juice less than three times per day
•
On an average school day, 46% of students report spending at least three hours watching
television and 31% spent three plus hours playing video games or using computers for non-school related
activities
•
18% of students did not participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on ANY day in the
seven days before the survey
Childhood obesity is linked to long-term health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart-disease, high
blood pressure, joint problems, asthma, early onset of puberty, and even premature death later in life.
Childhood obesity also significantly impacts the quality of kids' everyday lives. Children with obesity
miss more days of school, exhibit more behavioral problems, have lower self-esteem, and have poorer
academic performance than their healthy weight peers.
Why is this happening? Children in our region, as across the US, have a more sedentary lifestyle than
their parents and grandparents. Less physical education, fewer students walking or biking to school and
the proliferation of screens have impacted children's activity levels. Children today also live in a vastly
different food environment than generations before them. Busy parents cook fewer home-made meals,
fast food restaurants aggressively market empty calories to children, portion sizes have exploded, soda
and sugar-sweetened beverages are ubiquitous, and highly-processed junk foods are often cheaper and
more accessible than fruits and vegetables. Given that children spend the majority of their waking hours

within a school, the school environment provides an opportunity to directly combat these unhealthy
defaults, and promote more healthy food and activity choices for children.
Fit4Kids Board and staff have strategically selected programs that directly relate to improving children's
wellness through physical activity and nutrition. Wellness Integration exposes students to both activity
and nutrition education.
Fit4Kids programs improve the health of the children through prevention. According to the Centers for
Disease Control, the prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents more than tripled from 19802008. More than one-third of American children aged 6-19 are overweight or obese. The health toll on
these children and our health care system over the course of their lifetimes could be profound. As
previously described, the health consequences of obesity include high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
type 2 diabetes, and more. Fit4Kids programs tackle this issue head-on by working with all children to
develop healthy habits to prevent and reduce the prevalence of obesity among children.
Also, Fit4Kids shares the Cameron Foundation's mission of serving disadvantaged populations.
According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, obesity and poverty have an inverse relationship-lower income levels translate into higher rates of obesity and related diseases. It is also important to note
that children and adolescents who are African American have higher rates of obesity than other ethnic
groups. For an obesity-prevention program in our region to be successful it must address these issues
head-on and get involved directly in the schools in economically distressed neighborhoods.
Sustainability:
One avenue of sustainability is to demonstrate success to the partner school division and encourage them
to help sustain programming. Currently, in Chesterfield County, a division-wide Wellness Council
recommended to the school board that the division should hire Wellness Integrators. In their current
proposed budget, the School Board has included funding for a district-wide Wellness Coordinator and
five Wellness Integration Specialists.
Also, Fit4Kids is launching a new teacher certification program that will offer current teachers the
opportunity to gain experience and training in integrating movement and wellness into their classrooms.
This is another avenue for sustaining Wellness Integration practices in public schools.
Furthermore, the current model is based on establishing a culture of wellness at participating schools and
training classroom teachers to conduct the active lessons enabling Fit4Kids to place schools in a
"sustainability" phase without full time Fit4Kids staffing on site. As previously described, Fit4Kids will
work with a school on-site for two years, then transition to a new school while still providing support and
technical assistance.
Partnerships:
Fit4Kids CEO has been communicating with the Title I Specialist at A.P. Hill Elementary School, Ms.
Rosa Hobson, M.Ed.. She contacted Fit4Kids in early Fall 2015 to inquire about a partnership with A.P.
Hill. Ms. Hobson has gotten approvals from her Principals and a formal letter of support will be included
if invited for a full proposal.

HOPEWELL EMERGENCY CREW, INC.
TAX ID: 52-1208527
Project Title:
Ambulance Replacement Project
We will endeavor to deliver the best emergency medical care centered on quality, competence, and
kindness in an effort to decrease illness and preserve the gift of human life.
Before the Hopewell Emergency Crew was formed, the members were part of the Southside Virginia
Emergency Crew. This was the very first chartered crew in the Tri-Cities area. Southside Virginia
Emergency Crew, located in Petersburg, Virginia, served not only citizens within Petersburg but also the
City of Hopewell and Prince George County. As demand for service began to escalate, a small group of
dedicated people saw the need to form a substation of the Southside Virginia Emergency Crew, to be
located in Hopewell Virginia. The idea was to be able to better serve the City of Hopewell and Prince
George. In 1946, after major discussion and deliberation, the Hopewell substation was established.
The substation was housed out of the Hopewell Fire Department Station 1, utilizing the basement areas as
crew quarters. While in operation, leaders of the Hopewell substation discussed the desire to separate
from the Southside Virginia Emergency Crew altogether, giving the City of Hopewell its very own
volunteer rescue squad. After several years of being a substation, on October 15th, 1949, the Bill of Sale
to make the Hopewell Emergency Crew an independent organization was reviewed and voted upon. On
that day, the City of Hopewell officially gained the Hopewell Emergency Crew, an organization of
volunteers rendering first aid and medical assistance to those in need.
In 1959, the Hopewell Emergency Crew began talks with the City to acquire their assistance in obtaining
a new building. It was agreed that the City would purchase the land and lease it to the crew. Fund raising
activities enabled the purchase of equipment and building supplies. This original building was built by
volunteers comprised of crew members, local construction workers, and citizens of the community who
donated time and material to see that the agency was housed in a building more suited to its needs. In
1969, the crew decided to expand the crew quarters in response to tremendous growth and success. These
additions and enhancements were brought to reality by 1971.
Today, Hopewell Emergency Crew is still housed in the same building of the founding members. In
addition to the building having undergone several renovations and enhancements, the crew's technology is
also being constantly updated. The crew now has state of the art health care technology that allows them
to deliver the most up to date care possible. Members are now trained to perform Basic Life Support as
well as Advanced Life Support, and can now give medicines and perform procedures in the field.
Though the organization has undergone many changes, the commitment of the volunteers to serving their
community has remained constant. They still serve with the same passion and dedication that has always
been at the core of the organization. Hopewell Emergency Crew has been serving its community for over
sixty years. With the dedication of the crew and support of the community, that commitment will continue
to be upheld for over sixty more.
Current Programs:
The Hopewell Emergency Crew currently provides life saving emergency medical services to the citizens
of Hopewell, Virginia and the surrounding communities on request. The agency also provides other

The Ambulance Replacement Project that the Hopewell Emergency Crew has been designed to replace
our aging ambulance fleet with state-of-the-art ambulances that will better serve our agency and
ultimately, our community. Due to the advanced age of all of our ambulances, we face a significant
amount of challenges keeping our vehicles on the road. It is our goal with this long term project, that we
replace all of our ambulance over the next two to three years, allowing us to take advantage of new
technologies that these ambulances allow and transport our patients in vehicles that are the gold standard
for safety and care.
Hopewell
Outcome Area:
Healthy Residents
Community Need:
As the primary agency of emergency medical services for the City of Hopewell, we respond to
approximately 1500 9-1-1 calls per year. The ambulance that we are looking to replace with your
assistance is approximately twenty years old. Due to its age, it was never designed to handle the vast
amount of the new equipment that we use such as power stretchers, AutoPulse CPR devices, larger drug
boxes, etc. Anytime that this vehicle is in service, we have to remove what we consider the gold standard
in care from our vehicle as we are not able to safely secure these pieces of equipment. We believe the
community would greatly benefit from having a new ambulance that is based off of current industry
safety standards, designed for the need of our agency and the community.
If the Hopewell Emergency Crew was able to replace this ambulance, we believe we would be able to
address the the community need and mission of the foundation with two important area: Safety of the
patient and High level care provided. The ambulance that we would be replacing was purchased in the
infancy of EMS, well before a significant amount of research had been performed on the safety of the
ambulance and what could be done to best improve the chance of preventing injuries in the event of an

accident. The ambulance that we are attempting to replace it with has a steel patient compartment
compared to the current wood walled compartment that we are using now. Not only does this allow for a
much safer patient compartment, it also allows for a smoother ride for the patient and the staff members
providing care. This new ambulance also has an airbag system and a harness restraint system for the
providers, allowing for them to safely work on a patient while restrained, something that is currently
impossible with all of our ambulances. When it comes to patient care, a new ambulance would allow for
us to expand the technology that we provide to our patients. An example of this is the possibility of using
Ultrasound, Fiber Optic Laryngoscopes, and Wireless Internet. All three of these pieces of technology
involve a significant footprint on a vehicle but are becoming a gold standard in patient care that we are
not able to offer to our patients. By getting a new ambulance with expansion of care in mind, we would be
able to see potential veins that we are not able to access currently with ultrasound, intubate a critical
patient with a difficult airway, or transmit information to a cardiac catheterization lab in Richmond to
prepare for a patient thirty minutes prior to their arrival, increasing their chances of survival. We want to
provide the highest level of care possible to the citizens of Hopewell by ultimately improving patient
outcomes with the advanced technologies we are currently unable to provide with our aging vehicles.
Sustainability:
The Hopewell Emergency Crew places all of our vehicles into a preventative maintenance program to
ensure the highest safety for our personnel and our patients. All of our vehicles are inspected at least once
every five thousand miles or three months (whichever is sooner) by the City of Hopewell Automotive
Shop. This ensures that any issues that may arise are taken care of prior to having a critical failure. We
also have a policy in place with our personnel that any personnel have the authority to take an ambulance
out of service for any mechanical or safety reason. Due to these policies that we have in place and a great
network of communication between our field level providers and our supervisors, we have been able to
keep our ambulances on average of ten years.
Partnerships:
We do not have an existing partnerships in place for this proposed project. We intend to generate the rest
of the amount required for the replacement of the ambulance from the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance
Fund.

HORIZON HEALTH SERVICES, INC
TAX ID: 54-1103176
Project Title:
Horizon Health Services, Inc. is a community based, not for profit corporation whose mission is to
provide for quality, comprehensive, and affordable primary health on a continuous basis to all individuals.
Horizon Health Services, Inc., founded in 1979 originally as the Ivor Medical Center (Ivor, Va.), is a
Federally Funded Community Health Center (FQHC). HHS has grown from the one site in
Ivor/Southampton County to operating four sites in the thirty five plus years of operation. These satellite
sites are located in Surry County, Sussex County, and a dental Center at the Ivor site. As an FQHC, HHS
is charged with the provision of quality health care services to the patient population served regardless of
their ability to pay. Over the decades, HHS has strived to advance not only in number of pateints served,
but in organizational capacity and sophistication. To that end, HHS has developed a robust technology
initiative for Electronic Medical Records, a Quality Assurance and Improvement campaign resulting in
recognition by the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Level II Patient Center
Medical Home, all three sites. Staff has grown from less than ten employees in 1979 to forty four
employees by 2016. The current CEO has been employed by the organization for twenty eight years and
overseen both expansion of facilities and services during that time. More recently, the infrastructure
development strategy has resulted in the appointment of a Chief Operationing Officer/COO in 2016.
Given the growth and complexities of the organization, this position will aid in the securing and
sustainability of HHS accomplishments and achievements to date. HHS has been the successful recipient
of federal funding for over three decades. Operating in a federally designated health professional shortage
area or HPSA, requires ongoing federal assistance to aid in provision of services for the uninsured and the
underinsured. Current federal funding for HHS collectively is $1.4 million for four sites. For the last
twelve months, HHS has been an active partner in community engagement for the purpose of "outreach
and enrollment" whereby certified staff (two) are available to assist anyone in the service area with
enrollment into the current Insurance Marketplace of the Affordable Care Act. This program is a
partnership between HHS and the Virginia Primary Care Association of Richmond, Va. Lastly, HHS has
recently entered into a pharmacy agreement with Walgreens to provide affordable medications to the
patients of HHS. HHS continues to remain a vital community collaborator, working with social services,
the faith community, the school system, and various community organizations. The Board of Directors
have provided a vision for the future and ensure that the mission is upheld for years to come.
Current Programs:
Services provided include: Primary health care by physician or Family Nurse Practitioner for either
preventative, acute, or chronic conditions.
This would include office visit, laboratory services, physicals, injections, immunizations, EKG,
spirometry, pulse Ox, breathing treatments/Nebulizer/Peak Flow, treatment for minor
emergencies/laceration repair, assistance for pharmacy/prescriptions, patient education and Case
Management for chronic conditions (hypertension and diabetes). Oral Health services with dentist or
dental hygienst to include preventative, basic or major dental care. (Include extractions, fillings,
cleanings, provision of bridges, dentures, etc.) Mental Health
or Behavioral Health services are provided by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides
both counseling and connecting patient to appropriate available agencies and services. All services are

HHS proposes to enlarge the existing parking lot of the Waverly Medical Center, by extending the
existing parking lot , adding approximately 30 new parking spaces. This specific center is the largest
operational center of HHS, serving the largest volume of patients and employing the largest number of
staff. The current parking lot no longer meets the need of the patients who come to the center and the
staff. HHS has recently received two federal grant awards for "Expanded Capacity" whereby an
additional eight staff were to be hired. Five of these staff will be located at the Waverly site. These
included a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a full time RN/Case Manager, an LPN "office
nurse" for telephone call backs, prescriptions,and referrals, and two "floor nurses" to assist providers in
seeing patients. The additional staff are proposed to enable the site to increase capacity by a minimum of
25%. (Current goal of 6,900 patient visits, per year to increase to 8,625 patient visits per year.) With the
additional staff and anticipated new growth of patient visits, the current parking lot is no longer adequate
for the facility. Staff are coping with this ongoing problem by parking either across the street in an area
not owned by HHS or in the street to allow better accommodation for the patients. This overcrowding
situation has already resulted in a patient, in an attempt to back out of a tight parking spot, hitting a corner
of the facility posts. The additional parking need is critical and must be dealt with to continue functioning.
HHS does own the vacant lot immediatley behind the existing facility, which is ideal to convert into
additional parking. This asphalt paving/parking lot expansion involves extensive land clearing (some tree
removal), fill and grading, and relocation of HHS emergency back-up generator and propane tank,
removal/ replacement of fencing to encompass new parking area, new lightening for both staff and patient
safety. A secondary driveway into facility property will be created which will drastically improve the
flow and efficiency of service to the patients and relieve congestion in the parking area that have well
exceeded the existing capacity.

Outcome Area:

Community Need:
The Waverly Medical Center, a satellite of Horizon Health Services, Inc., operates in Sussex County,
which is a federally designated "Health Professional Shortage Area." The criteria for such a designation
is each the large number of minority population, high level of poverty, and the ratio of primary care
provider to population. Sussex County exceeds the state level in each of these categories, also in
unemployment and rates of the uninsured. The result for the community is the lack of access to basic
primary care and consequent high levels of chronic disease and poor quality of life. HHS has served the
Waverly community since 1997, providing medical care regardless of an individuals ability to pay.
Without the ongoing services of Horizon Health Services, this community and surrounding areas would
be denied access to primary care. (Currently, HHS serves approx 2,000 individuals from the Cameron
Foundation Target area. ) Last reporting data was 1,883 served from 2014-2015. These prevailing
socioeconomic indicators for this community will dictate the health outcomes for all age groups, to
include lack of prenatal care, family planning, childhood immunizations, adolescent healthcare, chronic
disease management. This results in high infant mortality rates, teen pregnancy, high incidence of
uncontrolled diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and overall general poor quality of life.
The existence of the Waverly Medical Center in this community is imperative for the ongoing care of the
residents there. The community's only primary care provider left in 1997 and HHS purchased the practice,
to operate an as FQHC. Over the last decade, the practice has continued to thrive and grow. The center's
two family physician and one full time Family Nurse Practitioner operate the center Monday -Friday. The
recent addition of nursing staff and the LCSW (for behavioral health services) will complement the broad
array of services already provided. Unfortunately, the growth of the practice has forced several
administrative staff to relocate to other facilities, but no solution for parking expansion has been achieved.
If funded, the enhancements for the facility will better serve the patients and provide adequate access to
the facility. Many of the patients are elderly and are forced to park either across the street or along Main
St. and walk back to the actual facility. This is unacceptable and may pose safety issues if left
unaddressed. Sustaining viable health care services is both a mission of HHS and the Cameron
Foundation. That sustainability includes facility management, parking, and other operational
considerations, especially with strategies for growth underway.
Sustainability:
As previously stated, the Waverly Medical Center has operated as an FQHC in Waverly for eighteen
years. This has been accomplished with the ongoing federal funding from the Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS), the billing of third party payers, when applicable,and successful
oversight/management of the project by the Board of Directors. Given the vast need for the area, it is
only expected that the practice will continue to grow, adding staff and services as demand dictates.
Partnerships:
The intent of the HHS Board of Directors is to partially fund a portion of this project, while requesting
funding from the foundation for the remainder. Although not part of this project, HHS is an ongoing
recipient of funding from the Obici Healthcare Foundation for the Ivor Dental Center.( $75,000 annually
for the the dentist salary/wages.) This partnership enables HHS program income to be used in other
areas, such as the Waverly facility and parking lot project.

Project Title:
The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program
Working together to foster health communities through disease prevention and control, health promotion,
environmental protection and emergency preparedness and response.
The Petersburg Health Department has been a resource to community of Petersburg for years. The city of
Petersburg dominates the Commonwealth with its high teenage pregnancy rate and has for the past 15
years. The Petersburg Health Department developed the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program to combat
teen pregnancy in Petersburg and throughout the Crater Health District. Program staff consists of the
Crater District Health Director; a nurse manager and supervisor; one full time public health nurse and
nurse practitioner; three health educators and two outreach workers. The Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Program provides reproductive health clinical services at the Petersburg and Hopewell Health
Departments as well as age appropriate health education within the public schools and community. Since
the inception of the program in 2009, the teen pregnancy rate has declined over 30% in Petersburg. In
2013, The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program expanded to Hopewell and the rate has declined eleven
percent. The combination of education, accessible clinical services and collaborating with the
communities resources plays a vital role in the decreasing teenage pregnancies throughout the Crater
Health District.
Current Programs:
The Virginia Department of Health mandates the services provided at the Crater District Health
Departments. Each health department offer services in relations to the programs which include:
Communicable Disease, Environmental Health, Immunizations, Emergency Preparedness and Response
(EPR), Community Health Promotion and Prevention, Vital Records, Healthy Start and Resource
Mothers, Maternity, Family Planning, Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Prevention and Treatment
and Women, Infant and Children (WIC). The Communicable Disease program provides surveillance,
follow-up, and investigation of diseases reported by medical providers and laboratories; examples of
reportable diseases include Tuberculosis, Influenza, Escherichia coli infection and Rabies. Inspecting
restaurants, water and sewage services, and food safety are services offered via the Environmental Health
program. Immunizations involve providing childhood and adult vaccinations within the health
departments and communities. EPR includes the preparation and education of state, local and regional
emergency response partners for public health emergencies (e.g. Ebola and natural disasters). The
Community Health Promotion and Prevention program address health disparities and issues such as
diabetes, cancer, heart disease, childhood obesity, and tobacco cessation with local partners and resources
within the community. In Vital Records, Office Service Specialists provide death certificates to funeral
homes and family members. Healthy Start and Resource Mothers program involves providing case
management, outreach, education and resources to pregnant women and children in the Crater District to
prevent and reduce infant mortality rate.
In additional to the community services, each health department provides clinical services for WIC,
Maternity, Family Planning and STI clients. WIC is a supplemental nutrition program that provides
counseling and breastfeeding education to women, infant, and children up to 5 years of age. Prenatal care,
reproductive health care and STI testing, treatment and prevention are clinical services offered at each
health department. The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program provides reproductive health clinical
services, age-appropriate abstinence based and comprehensive education within the Crater Health District

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program uses an evidenced-based approach to targeting teen pregnancy.
The goal is to reduce the teen pregnancy by: (1) providing direct reproductive health clinical services
within the health departments; (2) providing educational services within the community. Over the past
seven years, this dual approach contributes to the decreasing teen pregnancy rates within the Crater
Health District.
Program evaluation: The goal of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program is to reduce the teen pregnancy
rate among the population in Crater Health District by improving access to reproductive health clinical
services and education. The program's three objectives include: (1) to increase the number of teens
accessing clinical services for contraceptive and abstinence counseling; (2) to increase the number of
teens tested and treated for STI's; (3) to increase the number and knowledge of teen who participate in
outreach educational activities.
Outcome measures for these objectives include the following: number of new clinic visits as well as the
total number of clinic visits; the number and type of contraceptives prescribed; number of pregnancy tests
(client and non-client); client satisfaction; number and type of STI testing; results and treatments; the
number of community and school contacts made during outreach efforts; and pre-/post- outreach
presentation knowledge survey results. The Virginia Department of Health's Office of Information
Management provides data regarding the number of total visits and clients seen. The nurse will use a
spreadsheet to track demographic information, visit type, contraceptive use, STI screening and treatment,
and pregnancy testing. In addition, each client will be asked to complete a patient satisfaction survey after
each visit. The health educator completes a community event form after each educational outreach event.
This form contains information related to the number of participants reached, the age group, location,
topics discussed and the event sponsor. The teens complete pre- and post- surveys after each nine-week
session to assess attitudes and knowledge related to teen pregnancy.

Community Need:
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unplanned pregnancies account for
nearly 70% of the pregnancies of unmarried women between the ages of 15 and 29. Nationally, teen
pregnancy is a major public health concern. Although, the teen pregnancy rates have decline across the
nation over the years; there is a need for services that will help maintain the low rates. There are negative
outcomes and consequences associated with teen pregnancy. Three out of 10 women will become
pregnant before the age of 20 years old. In addition, teens have more than a 50% chance of having
subsequent pregnancies within the next two years after delivery. Petersburg's teen pregnancy rate is
higher than the national teen pregnancy rate. Despite the fact that Virginia has one of the lowest teen
pregnancy rates in the nation, Petersburg leads the Commonwealth of Virginia with the highest teen
pregnancy rate.
Socioeconomic factors such as poverty, low education and income status, infant mortality, abuse and
neglect are linked to teenage pregnancy according to the National Campaign to prevent teen pregnancy
and unplanned pregnancy. Teen mothers are less likely than other young women to earn a high school
degree; they also have less than a 2% chance of obtaining a higher degree by the age of 30. The teen
father's also having 30% chance of graduating high school. Children of teen mothers bear the greatest
burden of teen pregnancy. Often, adolescent mothers receive little to no prenatal care which can lead to
ongoing medical complications for the infant and mortality. The infants are at increased risk of being born
prematurely and at a lower birth rate; they are also at risk of being abused or neglected. In addition to the
harmful health and psychosocial consequences of teen childbearing, there is also an increased economic
cost. In 2010, teen births cost VA taxpayers at least $183 million. These costs include participation in
public health care (Medicaid and CHIP), child welfare, and lost tax revenue associated with decreased
earning and spending among teen parents. The high teen pregnancy rates in Petersburg coupled with the
negative outcomes associated with teen childbearing indicate a need for effective preventive services.
The Teen Pregnancy Prevention program's mission is to improve the quality of life of local teens by
providing easily accessible reproductive health education and clinical services. The adolescent- friendly
clinic is tailored to address the needs of the population. Reproductive health clinical services are offered
at the Petersburg and Hopewell Health Departments, operating on dedicated days in each location.
Services provided are offered, at no cost to the teens, every Tuesday and Thursday from 12 PM to 6 PM
at the Petersburg Health Department, and from 3 PM to 6 PM on Wednesdays at the Hopewell Health
Department. To reduce barriers and increase access to care, the clinic accepts clients on a walk-in basis
and provides transportation for teens as needed. At each visit, the teens are assessed and offered a variety
of services based upon their particular needs. These services include reproductive health exams, STI
testing and treatment, contraceptive surveillance, vaccinations, health counseling and referrals. The clinic
offers a variety of contraceptive methods. The long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods are
the most effective. A LARC method can provide contraceptive coverage for 3 to 5 years. This method is

beneficial to the teen population. The clinic aims to use more LARC methods. This long term protection
will reduce the chances of an unintended pregnancy and eventually the pregnancy rate.
In conjunction with clinical services, the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program provides health education
within the Petersburg and Hopewell schools and community organizations. The objective of the
educational session is to equip the teens with the essential tools to make healthy decision in preparation
for their future. The health educators use evidence-based curriculums when providing education in the
schools and community. The curriculums focus on improving communication skills, developing self
esteem and increase knowledge about contraceptives use and condoms. The curriculums consist of nine
sessions, 1.5 hours each, and include group discussion, role plays, classroom activities, and lectures.
Sustainability:
The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program works with several organizations that recognize the need to
address the high teen pregnancy rates in the Crater Health District. The coordinated efforts of these
organizations assist the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program in providing teens with increased
accessibility to age-appropriate resource and services. Clinical services for the program are primarily
funded by the Cameron Foundation and the John Randolph Foundation with additional support from the
Virginia Division of Child and Family Health (DFCH). The educational component is funded by the
Cameron Foundation, John Randolph Foundation, United Way, and DFCH. In addition, the Teen
Pregnancy Prevention program offers third party billing to aid in support of the program. Third party
billing may allow the health department to bill insurance for associated clinical visit costs.
Partnerships:
Crater Health District has established and maintained a partnership with the Petersburg Public School
systems, Communities in Schools (CIS), and community resources such as the YMCA, Parks and
Recreations, and the Boys & Girls club. The Crater Health District also partners with James House,
District 19, Department of Social Services, Cares, Pathways, local community Health Centers, faith
organizations, Petersburg Reducing Adolescent Pregnancy and STI's (R.A.P.S) Coalition and Taskforce,
and the subsidizing housing developments. Program staff actively participates in community events to
increase the local teen and parent knowledge of services. Some of the events the staff attended include: a
health fair at Great Faith AME Zion Baptist Church, Hopewell's Annual Youth Fest, Back to School
Events at Peabody, I AM Petersburg Health and Back to School Festival ,First Monday's at A. P. Hill
Elementary and Peabody Middle School, National Community Health Center Week, and Tabernacle
Baptist Church Youth Summit.

PETERSBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY
TAX ID: 54-6001502
Project Title:
The mission of the Petersburg Public Library (program fiscal agent) is "to provide citizens equitable
access to evolving information and resources which will enable them to enhance their quality of life". The
mission of the Healthy Living and Learning Center (program request) supports the Library's mission in
the specific area of equitable access to health information and resources. The Center's mission is "to
provide access to accurate and reliable health information to all citizens of Petersburg and the surrounding
areas" with the goal of improving individual and community health outcomes.
In 1923, Mrs. Clara McKenney donated her residence to be the first public library in the city of
Petersburg. Opening in 1924, the library expanded in 1958 with the building of a large addition made
possible by a generous donation from the George Cameron family. In April 2014, a new 45,000 square
foot central library was completed and all former branches were closed. With the completion of the new
building, the Petersburg Public Library (PPL) has positioned itself to be a change agent within the
community.
In 2011, the Massey Cancer Center of Virginia Commonwealth University instituted the Health
Information and Advocacy @ Your Library program throughout Virginia's Tobacco Belt as part of a class
action settlement with tobacco companies. The purpose of this program was to "...bridge the gap between
health care offices and citizens (a need for improved communication and an awareness of resources was
emphasized)" and to provide "a central location to obtain information about cancer (chronic disease)
resources and screening services." Since people already think of libraries as places to get information, the
library was a natural location for specialized health information services.
In the course of this project, the annual community health rankings from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation were released, naming Petersburg the unhealthiest locality in Virginia. Petersburg is not
located in the Tobacco Belt and did not fall within the scope of the class action. However, in 2012,
Massey approached the Crater Health District (CHD) of the Virginia Department of Health and the
Petersburg Public Library (PPL) about the possibility of creating something similar to the Health
Information and Advocacy (HIA) program as a step towards addressing Petersburg's severe health issues.
Modeled on the HIA and the Community Health Education Center (CHEC) at VCU, the newly created
Healthy Living and Learning Center (HLLC) began as a desk and a set of shelves at the library, staffed by
representatives from all three partners. In the new building, the HLLC was designated its own public
space for public interactions, as well as staff and storage areas. The library also created the Wellness
Activity Center in an area previously intended as a store room which currently serves as home to assorted
free fitness programs.
The HLLC has promoted the improvement of health literacy through resource development and the
training of Consumer Health Information Specialists (CHIS). These specialists provide individualized
guidance to customers in the Center or through outreach efforts and health related community

wellness in Petersburg by contributing health literacy resources and by participating in creative
collaborations.
Current Programs:
The PPL collection offers nearly 90,000 items. Of that total, 1809 items are specifically categorized by
the library as health and wellness materials, with an additional 322 items (including 65 DVDs) selected
by the HLLC staff and identified as HLLC resources. Cultural arts offerings provided at the Library
include book discussions, storytelling for children, writing workshops and author readings. Computer
trainings, GED preparation and literacy (including health literacy) education, and business education are
also part of ongoing Library programming. The Library offers many online resources, as well as meeting
rooms, computer access for customers, and wireless Internet access. Not only are all of these resources
available for use as needed by the HLLC for support of its programming, but they also provide exciting
collaborative opportunities to extend health literacy resources to customers seeking a multitude of
different services.
The HLLC provides a consistent, familiar place where community members can go to obtain accurate and
reliable health information (not health advice) and connect to local resources. The Center is staffed with
partners, volunteers, and interns trained as Consumer Health Information Specialists who can provide
quality health information directly to the public both at the Center and through community outreach. The
newly hired Program Coordinator is a Master's prepared Registered Nurse with 30 years of community
wellness experience. With the hiring of a health care professional, new collaborative relationships, such
as the ability to include nursing students as volunteers or interns during their community health rotation
have become available.
Located on the second floor of the PPL, the HLLC provides the following services:
 One-on --one sessions with certified Consumer Health Information Specialists (CHIS) during operating
hours (12 pm -- 4 pm, Monday - Friday)
 Access to a CHIS trained library staff member from 9 am to 5 pm (Monday through Saturday) and
Center resources during all library hours
 Health related reference books, on-site DVDs, streaming videos, reliable websites, and brochures
(many available in both English and Spanish)
 Connections with local resources such as free health classes, screenings, support groups, and health
insurance enrollment
 Free blood pressure checks available upon request from 9am-5pm Monday through Saturday
 Free condoms provided by Project STRAPPED
 Health related activities and exercise classes (Yoga, Sit and Be Fit, Tai Chi, Circuit Training)
 Outreach through its Mobile Express
Another vital service that the HLLC provides is that of evaluation of the effectiveness of its program.
Since its beginning in 2012, the HLLC has faithfully collected accurate and valuable data to prove its
effectiveness in improving health literacy and any resulting health outcome improvements. Admittedly,
this has been an ongoing process that has proved difficult not only for our local Center, but for health
information outreach education throughout the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. The HLLC
continues to improve its evaluation process through the research of effective practices and through the
guidance of the Community Health Education Center (CHEC) at Virginia Commonwealth University
Health System.

Outcome Area:
Healthy Residents
Community Need:
The Petersburg area experiences some of the most unfavorable health outcomes in Virginia. Data from
the 2015 County Health Rankings Report (The University of Wisconsin's Population Health Institute, the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) reveal the following health outcome rankings out of 133 localities:
Petersburg (131), Dinwiddie (76), Hopewell (127), and Prince George (28). Additional relevant data
from the Rankings indicate that Petersburg premature death rates are more than double the state rates; the
number of uninsured is 17% versus 14% for the state; diabetic monitoring is 67% compared to 87%;
poor/fair health is 19% versus 14%.
In 2004, the Institute of Medicine developed a common definition of health literacy which is "the degree
to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and
services needed to make appropriate health decisions." A measurement of health literacy skills conducted
by The National Assessment of Adult Literacy in 2003 indicated that "14% of adults (30 million people)
have Below Basic health literacy. These adults were more likely to report their health as poor (42%) and

are more likely to lack health insurance (28%) than adults with Proficient health literacy".
(http://health.gov/communication/literacy/quickguide/factsliteracy.htm)
The National Center for Education Statistics (2003) reported that within the Library and Foundation
service area: 22% of Petersburg, 16% of Dinwiddie, 15% of Hopewell, and 12% of Prince George
citizens are illiterate. In 2004, a literature review conducted by the Journal of General Internal Medicine
concluded that, "low literacy is associated with several adverse health outcomes." Specifically, those
with lower literacy were more likely to report not having vaccinations and preventative screenings and
more likely to have poor medication adherence, less skilled medication administration technique, higher
hospitalization rates and other complications.
In the 2010 U.S. Impact Study, the use of library technology for health and wellness needs among all uses
of library online service is highest (83%) among lower income and impoverished people, 45-64 year olds,
women, and people who speak languages other than English at home. The HLLC serves as a resource to
help customers learn how to search for reliable and accurate health information on-line.
The research of Larry Mauksch (family medicine, University of Washington) indicates that people spend
an average of 18 minutes with the doctor at each visit. "What has changed is the amount of time available
for a meaningful exchange." Doctors today are required by the government, insurance companies and
professional organizations to carefully document nearly every aspect of patient care -- from how they
protect your privacy in the waiting room to how often and how long they wash their hands. "All these
extra requirements come into the medical encounter and take time," says Mauksch.
http://www.arthritis.org/living-with-arthritis/health-care/your-health-care-team/doctors-appointmentchallenge.php.
Poor health, low literacy, low health literacy, lack of computer access or skills to research health and
wellness needs, and the decrease in the amount of time for a meaningful exchange with a patient's
physician are all needs that present challenges to the health of the Petersburg area and its residents.
The five primary program goals relate to the community need in the following ways:
 Assisting individuals to become active partners in their own care creates an environment where
communication between the individual and their health care provider can become more clear and open.
An understanding of the most important elements of their health issues has the potential ability to increase
an individual's medication adherence and disease monitoring. Although the Center will not provide
health advice, it has the ability to partner with the health care provider and the customer to increase
individual knowledge and understanding. By incorporating health insurance enrollment information into
all HLLC programs and by offering guided computer assistance for actual enrollment, more residents in
our area will have the opportunity to receive help in navigating the complicated process of enrollment.
 The HLLC partners, along with other community wellness initiatives and health related
agencies/organizations, will work to increase the opportunity for residents to improve the quality and
number of years of life. The Center will provide resources or referrals for vaccinations, preventative
screenings, and support groups for an active life style. Free programming, physical activity classes, blood
pressure screenings, and collaboration with sources of fresh produce are resources that will be utilized to
promote wellness and improve health outcomes.

 Providing reliable and accurate health information lessens health disparities by allowing everyone,
including those without computers, access to information that can be used to manage existing health
conditions. By expanding the resources within the HLLC, the specially trained partners, volunteers, and
interns will be able to better explain disease processes. With a better understanding of what is happening
in their body and why certain treatments are important, the customer will have a greater likelihood of
following prescribed regimens and thus will be less likely to report their health as "poor".
 Although improving health literacy is only one aspect of improving the health of the Petersburg
community, it is an important aspect and the knowledge foundation upon which healthy behavior change
is built. The HLLC seeks to maintain and expand its services by building on successful, current
partnerships and by developing new collaborations. Outreach to new sites, consistent messages, and new
resources will help the Center better serve the residents and the community to improve health outcomes.
 By improving the data collection and exploring national and regional resources for evaluation of health
outreach programs, the HLLC will be better able to document its impact and effectiveness in addressing
the community need.
Providing the residents of the Petersburg area with the knowledge, skills, and resources to improve health
literacy as a way to improve health outcomes has a direct connection to the mission of the Foundation. A
centralized site for reliable and accurate health information is needed, according to both health care
professionals and residents, to lay a foundation for better health. This outcome will help the Foundation
"transform the Tri-cities and surrounding counties into a healthy, vibrant, and economically vital region".
Sustainability:
The three primary partners of the HLLC currently have existing networks in the community and all are
established leaders in their fields. This provides strength for sustainability and allows for the natural
development of additional broad reaching relationships and partnerships. An ongoing relationship has
been established with The National Library of Medicine and the CHIS training program to keep current
staff with up-to-date certification and new staff, volunteers and interns trained in the most current
resources available. Recent changes to the CHIS program have led to decreased access to on-line classes.
Therefore, the Center will explore alternative, equivalent trainings to insure that all partners, volunteers,
and interns continue to be able to provide reliable, accurate health information to customers. Although the
changes to CHIS were unforeseen, it will allow the Center to broaden its support through the connection
with other Health Literacy resources. The Community Health Education Center (CHEC) librarian at
VCU serves as a consultant to the HLLC, which provides the center with connections to other resources
as well.
The HLLC will seek support from other local funders such as The Richmond Memorial Health
Foundation and the Community Foundation of Richmond, both of which include Petersburg within their
respective funding areas. Existing social media avenues, including the HLLC webpage and the Twitter
account, will be updated and maintained thereby reaching a varied audience and increasing sustainability.
Creative funding sources such as GoFundMe (crowd funding) will be explored. With the energy
surrounding the Robert Wood Johnson Roadmaps to Health Action Award and community coaching
opportunity, creative collaborations can develop to extend health literacy resources into the community.
Collaborations are being explored with the Petersburg Wellness Consortium and the Harding Street Urban
Agricultural Center, among other entities. As partnerships and collaborations increase in number and
depth, the HLLC will become a more integral part of the community thus leading to greater sustainability.

Having already established relationships with the VSU and VCU internship programs, the HLLC will
explore other ways to utilize the resources of our area universities by offering opportunities for students to
be involved with not only internships but creative marketing and programming. The Center will offer
opportunities in programming and traditional internships to students of Richard Bland College, John
Tyler Community College and area nursing schools. This additional outreach to other university programs
and departments is a winning scenario for both the students and the HLLC allowing the Center access to
no or low cost resources and the students the opportunity to learn from the connections with the
organizations and citizens of the Petersburg area. These efforts, in combination with a passion for
improving the health of the Petersburg community, will lead to vibrant sustainability of the HLLC.
Partnerships:
The Massey Cancer Center of Virginia Commonwealth University, the Crater Health District of the
Virginia Department of Health, and the Petersburg Public Library are the three primary partners for the
HLLC and representatives from these agencies comprise the HLLC Leadership Team. The HLLC also
currently partners with the Department of Parks and Leisure to serve the clients attending the Senior
Program at Tabernacle Community Center. The HLLC has established relationships with the VSU and
VCU internship programs and considers them to be partners. Select members of the HLLC Action and
Leadership Teams, including the Program Coordinator, participate in the Petersburg Wellness
Consortium. As stated above, collaboration with the Harding Street Urban Agricultural Center is being
explored and assistance is being provided for their program organization. The Center has been
approached to partner with an initiative called the Petersburg City Partnership with the Schools. The
Partnership is a locally driven inter-agency effort focused on ensuring that all Petersburg students arrive
to school healthy and ready to learn. The Governor's Children's Cabinet and Virginia state agencies are
committed to supporting the City Partnership with the Schools and are actively engaged in this promising
collaborative. The HLLC anticipates that much of its future work will develop out of an expanded
network of partners.

TAX ID: 23-1295914
Project Title:
Funding for a 2016 Ford F-450 ambulance with an Osage "Warrior" 156" modular box and PowerPro XT stretcher
Our mission is to provide first class emergency medical services to the citizens of Petersburg, Virginia in
a professional and timely manner.
The first official meeting of the new Southside Virginia Emergency Crew (hereafter referred to as SVEC
or the Crew) was held on May 25, 1945. At that meeting, plans for instructing all members in first aid
were developed.
After initial training, the Crew offered its services to Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Ettrick, Dinwiddie
County, Prince George County, and Chesterfield County. The organization was financed through the
generous donations of individuals, organizations, businesses, and industries.
The Crew acquired an unused fire station on Bank Street as its headquarters. The first pieces of
equipment were a first aid truck, various types of first aid supplies, an adult iron lung, a child's iron lung,
gas masks, respirators, and oxygen tents.
By 1951, the Crew had outgrown its quarters due to an increase in calls and through acquiring additional
equipment. The Board of Trustees raised money for a new headquarters that was built at 415 Wythe St.
Over the next fifteen years the crew grew in manpower, equipment, and emergency calls. Again, larger
quarters were needed. In March 1967, a fundraising campaign to finance the building of a new
headquarters begun. The response of the municipalities, businesses, industries, civic organizations,
professionals, and citizens was immediate and generous.
On December 8, 1968, John H. VanLandingham, Jr., President of the Board, presented the keys to the
new building at 425 Graham Road to T. T. Msgrove, Jr., Captain of the Crew, at a ribbon cutting
ceremony. The building was built on a tract of land that is adjacent to the then new I-85.
As times changed and as members were unable to staff ambulances during the daytime work hours, the
Board of Trustees in July 1989, elected to employ personnel to answer EMS calls from 6am-6pm.
Since 1989, SVEC has combined career personnel and volunteers to serve as a primary EMS agency for
the city of Petersburg, answering over 5000 EMS calls for service each year. Today 16 full time
Advanced and Basic Life support personnel staff two advanced life support units 24 hours a day/7 days a
week. Volunteer member augment the career staff by staffing extra units, covering public safety events,
and covering vacancies on the primary units.
Times have changed since the inception of Southside Virginia Emergency Crew in 1945. Training
requirements have greatly increased. Equipment needs and requirements have changed with the ever
changing technology advancements of the 21st Century. What began as an idea conceived from a
Reader's Digest Article in 1945 has evolved into a multi-thousand dollar business that still adheres with
its original mission of serving the citizens of Petersburg and aiding the surrounding localities when
needed.

Southside Virginia Emergency Crew is requesting funds for a replacement ambulance and stretcher.
Funds from this grant will cover the purchase price of a 2106 Ford 4x2 XLT with a 165" wheel base and
an Osage "Warrior" 156" modular box ambulance. This new ambulance will replace one of the current
ambulances in our fleet that has accumulated 91,931 miles, making it costly to repair. In order to meet
the new ambulance guidelines for stretcher mounting systems, the Power-Pro XT stretcher is also being
included in this grant request.

Community Need:
Currently Southside Virginia Emergency Crew has six emergency ambulances that are maintained to run
emergency calls. Our agency staffs two units, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A third unit is staffed on an
"as needed" basis. When ambulances are out of service for mechanical reasons, there is a need for back
up units. Ambulance R2 is a 2007 Ford F-450 and has required multiple expensive repairs including an
engine replacement. From 60,000 miles to present, we have spent $34,596.81 on repairs and maintenance.
Although the new engine is in good condition, other expensive parts of the vehicle are in need of attention
such as the transmission and the tie rods. Safety issues, due to mechanical failure, are a concern with the
current condition of this vehicle and repairs are not financially feasible.
With a new ambulance, mechanical safety issues for both the patients and providers would decrease.
New technologies and stretcher loading systems allow safer loading and unloading of patients thus
enhancing patient care. New federal ambulance standards, new guidelines from the American Heart
Association regarding CPR and Emergency Cardiac Care, and the ever-evolving technological advances
warrant the need to upgrade our fleet in order to provide the excellent patient care to the citizens of
Petersburg and surrounding localities.
Sustainability:
The ambulance will be maintained through the general operating budget and include a scheduled
preventive maintenance program and routine oil changes. The stretcher will be maintained through
routine maintenance.
Partnerships:
SVEC applied for a grant with Virginia Office of EMS (e-Gift program) but was not awarded funding.

We seek $19,600 from the Cameron Foundation in support of 14 free performances of our new childhood
obesity prevention program in six elementary schools in the Foundation's service area in October
/November 2016. In keeping with best practices, our statewide Advisory Committee strongly
recommends that we present one performance designed for K-2nd graders in each school, and a second
performance designed for 3rd-5th graders in each school, plus an evening "Parent Share" performance for
the combined PTA/PTOs of two to three neighboring schools.
Approximately 2,400 students and parents will attend these 14 free performances. The program will be
supported by significant, newly developed, age appropriate online resources for students, teachers, and
parents. The program will align completely with specific Virginia's SOLs as outlined in the White Paper
draft (attached). Effectiveness of the program will be independently evaluated by Virginia university
professionals (contract and evaluation design pending). Total cost of this comprehensive, best practicebased model project will be a cost effective $8.17 per student / parent / teacher served.
Virginia Rep, headquartered in Richmond, is the nation's leading creator and presenter of touring, inschool theatrical assembly programs that address children's health and safety from a prevention
perspective. Over time, we anticipate bringing this childhood obesity prevention program to all 22
elementary schools in the Foundation's service area. We have performed in and currently have strong

Community Need:
The following is included in the attached White Paper, researched and written by Amy Sproul, who works
full time at Virginia Rep as our Program Manager: Community Health and Wellness. Amy received her
Masters in Social and Cultural Psychology from the London School of Economics.
"Virginia Repertory Theatre's assessment determined two dimensions of need that we can effectively
address through children's theatre. The first involves the beliefs and behaviors prevalent among young
children which lead to obesity. The second dimension recognizes the weaker points of established obesity
prevention methods and the barriers to effective health communication.
A 2010 study conducted by the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth indicates that 1 in 5 children, ages
10-17, are overweight or obese in Virginia. The same study indicates that only 4% of Virginia children
consume the amount of fruits and vegetables recommended by the USDA and nearly half of all Virginia
children watch two or more hours of television every evening. Qualitative research conducted by the
National Institute of Health found that most children believe health recommendations to be unattainable,
which results in the abandonment of healthy living all together (Borra et al. 2003). Habits that contribute
to the obesity crisis are developed early in life, with research indicating that individuals develop most lifelong health behaviors during their elementary school years (Brown & Roberts, 2010). Michelle Obama
recently called for teachers to incorporate healthy living in school lesson plans, and a few adjustments are
being implemented in select schools. However, teachers need help reinforcing positive messages about
choices in school and assistance with implementation programs, which encourage children to eat healthy
foods available in the cafeteria and avoid unhealthy in-school purchases.
Current efforts to educate children on the subject of health are not sufficient. Research shows that
children who see themselves as overweight or "unhealthy" retain less health information than children
who think of themselves as healthy (Grabowski, 2012). These mental barriers are correlated with
increasingly poor health behaviors and are not adequately addressed through traditional health education.
Our Advisory Committee shows concern over health initiatives that dichotomize the world into "healthy"
and "unhealthy," or "good" and "bad," and fail to promote variety, balance, self-efficacy, and
empowerment within schools. When children are presented with the dichotomy of "good" and "bad"
foods and activities, they are liable to think of themselves as either "good" or "bad," "healthy" or
"unhealthy." When children think of themselves as "unhealthy," they are more likely to feel that health
education is irrelevant to them and less likely to retain health information (Grabowski, 2012). Such a selfperception is counter-productive, because it reduces information retention within populations that need
health information most, decreasing self-esteem and failing to increase motivation. The Advisory
Committee recommends a message for schools that doesn't alienate children who see themselves as
"unhealthy," a message that creates a new narrative, where children of all sizes can make choices to
achieve healthy living."

In the mission statement of the Cameron Foundation, it states that the Foundation focuses on six outcome
areas. The first area listed is "healthy residents." Childhood obesity is a vital factor related to the health
of all residents of the Foundation service area, not only because one in five Virginia children are
overweight or obese, but also because the prevention strategies taken to heart during the elementary
school years will help to determine the weight challenges faced in years to come by area adults. As is
becoming more clear as study adds on to study, being overweight or obese as an adult serves as a primary
causal factor for an ever expanding roster of health issues from heart disease to cancer and diabetes to
senior dementia. It is vital that children receive multiple, compelling, time-tested safety messages
regarding childhood obesity throughout their elementary years.
This new comprehensive program is being developed in partnership with Virginia Rep, Sports Backers,
Fit4Kids, and the Virginia PTA because best practices indicate that the most effective childhood obesity
prevention programs involve expertise in effective communication, physical exercise, nutrition, and
parental involvement.
Live theatre has been extensively documented as an especially inclusive and compelling delivery system
for health and safety messages designed for a broad population of children grades K through 5. When
accompanied by post-performance interactive question and answer periods, "Parent Share" performances
that include parents in their children's health education, age appropriate online support materials, and
independent professional evaluation, in-school children's theatre programs like the one for which we seek
your support show significant promise.
Sustainability:
Virginia Rep has a longstanding, time-tested strategy for sustainability. For the last 33 years we have
developed and sustained vital community health and wellness programs from Hugs and Kisses (child
sexual abuse prevention and early intervention) to the new childhood obesity prevention program for
which funding is being sought. The cornerstones of our sustainability model are as follows:
• we will seek, rely upon, and respond to community input as we identify the significant needs we seek to
address
• we will seek the most qualified and appropriate partners to help us address those needs
• we will spend a year in professional research and development to ensure that we understand the need
completely
• we will address the need from a unique and carefully considered perspective rather than duplicate other
existing programs
• we will implement the program on a statewide level so that expenses are shared by a broad market
• we will design a professional, independent evaluation so that outcomes can be measured effectively and
responsibly
• we will document success so that infrastructure expenses can be covered by national, regional, and
individual funders, thereby relying on local funders for only the direct costs of the project implementation
within their service area.
We employ a fully professional development department. Because of our successes, we enjoy the support
of a broad base of contributors. We know of no other nonprofit that generates more confidence in
sustainability over decades of work.

Introduction
Virginia Repertory Theatre, headquartered in Richmond, produces professional productions of the great
comedies, dramas and musicals—past, present, and future. We embrace the theatrical art forms in
their entirety, presenting plays of all genres and national origins, serving an audience of all ages and
backgrounds. In keeping with the legacies of Barksdale and Theatre IV, the hallmark of our nonprofit
company is community engagement. To that end, we seek national caliber excellence in the arts,
education, children’s health, and community leadership.
Virginia Repertory Theatre performs regularly across Virginia, in public and in private schools, and is one
of the nation’s leading creators and presenters of touring, in-school theatrical assembly programs that
address children’s health and safety from a prevention perspective.
Virginia Repertory Theatre’s most acclaimed prevention program is Hugs and Kisses, which has served as
Virginia’s principal child sexual abuse prevention and early intervention program for 32 years, with over
1.6 million Virginia students attending the production. Virginia Repertory Theatre is now completing a
period of research and development, in coordination with a statewide Advisory Committee, to create a
Childhood Obesity Prevention assembly program for students in Virginia’s elementary schools. Our
partners in this endeavor include Sports Backers, Fit4Kids, the Virginia PTA, and the Northern Virginia
Healthy Kids Coalition (the latter two partnerships pending confirmation).
The following paper is the product of an extensive statewide and national research effort to determine:

The current established need regarding childhood obesity prevention in Virginia

The current state of childhood obesity prevention in Virginia and elsewhere, including gaps in
services and ways that current prevention strategies fall short

The most vital and effective prevention messages to relate to Virginia’s students K-5 to reduce
rates of childhood obesity in Virginia

Background
In 2014, community leaders approached the Virginia Repertory Theatre to communicate the growing
need for programs addressing the childhood obesity crisis in Virginia. In response to this request for
relevant programming, Virginia Repertory Theatre applied for and received $15,000 from Obici
Healthcare Foundation to research and develop a childhood obesity prevention, in-school assembly
production. Virginia Repertory Theatre established a statewide Advisory Committee comprising 18
leading experts in children’s health, children’s programming, elementary education, and health
psychology, to lead the investigation and provide critical insight (see appendix A for full list of
Committee members). Virginia Repertory Theatre conducted extensive independent research and, in
collaboration with the Advisory Committee, created an evidence-based approach to address childhood
obesity in Virginia elementary schools. Through this process, Virginia Repertory Theatre and the
Advisory Committee determined the current, most pressing needs in the field of obesity prevention, the
best practices for childhood obesity prevention, and the most effective ways to evaluate our objectives.
Established Need
Virginia Repertory Theatre’s assessment determined two dimensions of need that Virginia Repertory
Theatre can effectively address through children’s theatre. The first involves the beliefs and behaviors,
prevalent among young children, which lead to obesity. The second dimension recognizes the weaker
points of established obesity prevention methods and the current barriers to effective health
communication.
Problem :
A 2010 study conducted by the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth indicates that 1 in 5 children, ages
10-17, are overweight or obese in Virginia. This proportion is higher in the South East region of the
state, with nearly 1 in 4 children qualifying as overweight or obese (VHFY 2010). The same study
indicates that only 4% of Virginia children consume the amount of fruits and vegetables recommended
by the USDA and that nearly half of all Virginia children watch two or more hours of television every
evening. Qualitative research conducted by the National Institute of Health found that most children
believe health recommendations to be overwhelming and unattainable, which results in the
abandonment of healthy living all together (Borra et al. 2003). Such figures are not to be ignored;
obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Habits that contribute to the

obesity crisis are developed early in life, with research indicating that individuals develop most life-long
health behaviors during their elementary school years (Brown & Roberts, 2010). Michelle Obama
announced a call for teachers to incorporate healthy living in school lesson plans, and a few incremental
adjustments are being implemented in select schools. However, teachers and administrators need help
reinforcing positive messages about choices in the school environment and assistance with
implementation programs, which encourage children to eat healthy foods available in the cafeteria,
avoid unhealthy in-school purchases, and use hydration stations.
Unfortunately, current efforts to educate elementary school children on the subject of health are not
sufficient. Research shows that children who see themselves as overweight or “unhealthy” retain less
health information than children who think of themselves as healthy (Grabowski, 2012). These mental
barriers are correlated with increasingly poor health behaviors and are not adequately addressed
through traditional health education, which often sings to the proverbial choir.
Our Advisory Committee shows concern over health initiatives that dichotomize the world into
“healthy” and “unhealthy,” or “good” and “bad,” and fail to promote variety, balance, self-efficacy, and
empowerment within schools. When children are presented with the dichotomy of “good” and “bad”
foods and activities, they are liable to think of themselves as either “good” or “bad,” “healthy” or
“unhealthy.” When children think of themselves as “unhealthy,” they are more likely to feel that health
education is irrelevant to them and less likely to retain health information (Grabowski, 2012). Such a
self-perception is counter-productive, in that it reduces information retention within populations that
need health information the most, decreasing self-esteem and failing to increase health motivation. The
Advisory Committee recommends a message for schools that does not alienate children who see
themselves as “unhealthy,” a message that creates a new narrative, where children of all shapes and
sizes are beautiful and can make choices to feel better and achieve healthy living.
Solution:
This need can be addressed through an in-school assembly production, using characters as role models,
performing a “you can do it!” health narrative. Virginia Repertory Theatre will therefore strive to create
a new, inclusive, narrative presented through an engaging theatrical production that creates a
memorable experience through catchy images and songs.

While we cannot tailor a production to address the unique, individual health barriers of each child, we
can address the one mental barrier that all individuals who pursue more healthy lifestyles encounter:
the “I can’t do it” and “I’m not worth it” mindset. Social psychological research supports this strategy,
with empirical data showing a strong positive correlation between increased feelings of self-efficacy and
increased healthy behaviors (Strauss et al., 2001). Therefore, the central objective of this approach is to
increase feelings of self-efficacy in elementary school age children in regard to their health, while
providing key health messages that address the most crucial issues in childhood obesity prevention.
The structure of this approach and the theoretical support for a theatrical performance is supported by
the Social Cognitive Model of health behavior change, which emphasizes self-efficacy and
empowerment through role models modeling behavior and creating new ways for children to see the
world and themselves (Bandura 2004). The Social Cognitive Model asserts that cognitive, behavioral,
and contextual influences converge and function symbiotically with a person’s individual outlook. The
Social Cognitive Model of health behavior-change acknowledges that “Observational Learning” is vital to
behavior change, and that this learning occurs when a person observes a behavior and the
corresponding reinforcement that the behavior receives. Live demonstrations of a behavior or skill
qualify as modeling within this paradigm (Denier et al., 2014).
Within this tested theory, the concept of behavioral capabilities is equally important; the first step to
changing behavior is to know what the new behavior is, and to recognize that you have the skills to
perform it. Such a model acknowledges the role of self-efficacy in effective education models (Bandura
2004). Research shows that individuals who believe that they can accomplish new behaviors successfully
are more motivated, effective, and persistent in regards to taught strategies (Schunk & Usher, 2012).
Therefore, our narrative will demonstrate choices that are easy for children to enact on their own, such
as choosing to utilize hydration stations instead of purchasing soda, forgoing sedentary activities for
active options, and considering how health choices impact the heart and the brain. The narrative will
emphasize that everyone can be the super-hero-protagonist, helping others to make healthy choices.
Healthy living starts with small steps forward and doing your best.
Target Message
With self-efficacy, empowerment, and good behavior modeling as the production core, we will
communicate 4 specific target messages, determined by our Advisory Committee members:


1/6/2016
“Being active is for everyone;”


“Choose water over juices, energy drinks, sodas, and sports drinks;”

“Your heart and brain need your help to feel their best;”

“Eat 5 tasty fruits and vegetables every day!”
The villain in the production will promote unhealthy behaviors under the guise of “it’s too hard to be
healthy,” “healthy choices are for other people,” “healthy foods don’t taste good,” etc. The Advisory
Committee recommends that the villain represent a plethora of abstract barriers to healthy choices. The
Advisory Committee also emphasizes that, to prevent defensive reactions from teachers, parents, and
students, the villain should represent influences that do not indirectly blame adults, but instead
implicate corporations and abstract forces that cause lack of empowerment, unhealthy options, and low
self-esteem.
The production’s target messages will integrate models and objectives present in Virginia schools to
ensure a coherent message. The production will touch on all of the components in the standard 95210
health model (9 hours of sleep, 5 fruits and vegetables, 2 hours max of screen time, 1 hour of physical
activity, and 0 sugary drinks), which is a framework frequently used by Virginia physicians and health
educators. The production’s target message will also emphasize key learning objectives within the 2015
Virginia Health Education SOL, including:

Describe healthy meal choices that include all food groups (K.2a)(2.1c)(2.3b)(4.1c)(5.1d).

Identify foods and beverages that contain sugar and caffeine (1.2g)(2.1d)(2.1e)(3.1d)(4.1g).

Identify positive physical activity options and the benefits of being physically active every day
(K.2b) (K.3c)(2.2b)(3.1e)(3.2a)(4.1b)(4.2b)(5.1g) (5.2f).

Describe alternatives to television watching (K.2c)(1.2e)(2.2e).

Describe the importance of having a healthy heart, brain, and lungs (1.1a) (1.2a)(1.2b)(2.1a)
(2.2c)(3.2a)(4.1d,e)(5.1c).

Explain how sleep affects your health and ability to learn
(1.1d)(1.2f)(3.1f)(4.1b)(4.2b)(5.1h,i)(5.2g).

Explain the importance of making healthy decisions and how unhealthy decisions affect the
body (1.1d)(1.2h)(2.2b)(2.2d)(3.2a)(4.1b)(5.1h).

Support others in making positive food, physical activity, and sleep choices (3.3b)(4.2h)(5.3b,c).
Following the Advisory Committee’s direction, Virginia Repertory Theatre will perform two different
productions based on age, creating a short series of vignette narratives for younger children in grades K-

2 and a more nuanced heath narrative with a health super hero for children in grades 3-5. These
narrative structures reflect the Advisory Committee’s opinion that children are able to concentrate for
as many minutes as they have in years without a transition or break. For instance, six year old children
will only stay optimally engaged for, roughly, six minutes. The “get active” component for younger
children will focus on the joy of being fun and silly in active ways. The production for younger children
will focus on why our bodies feel better when we make healthy and nutritious choices, discussing age
appropriate healthy choices through vignettes that encourage children to, “move your bodies,” “fuel
your bodies,” and “treat your bodies kindly.” This nutrition component will introduce “colorful foods
that grow from the ground” and demonstrate healthy meal assemblage with the My Plate model. Older
children in grades 3-5 are preparing to make food and activity choices autonomously and are more
capable of understanding how health choices impact the mind and body. Therefore, children in grades
3-5 will receive a more in-depth story-narrative that explains healthy eating, active living, and the
mind/body relationship in a sophisticated, yet age appropriate way. This message will include how
different healthy foods contain specific vitamins that vitally support our bodies, and emphasize playful
exercise as an alternative to organized sports. Both productions will address activity in a pure sense,
involving social play and non-competitive activities that everyone can enjoy. Central to the approach of
self-efficacy and empowerment, the performance will not ask children to make comprehensive changes
that are daunting or unrealistic, but instead, demonstrate how small choices can make a big difference
over time.
Talk Back Session
Children often need help abstracting information from one context and applying it to their own lives. To
stimulate this process and increase information retention, Virginia Repertory Theatre actors will invite
children to adopt the perspective of health educators, and thoughtfully approach their own health
potentials in a different, more positive light. To incorporate children’s feelings and opinions, the
Advisory Committee recommends that Virginia Repertory Theatre provide an interactive talk-back
session with the cast after each performance. During each session, actors will ask students to offer
healthy choices available to them in their own lives, while simultaneously promoting the work of Virginia
Repertory Theatre’s partners and other organizations in each, specific school. By cross referencing the
work of organizations that provide real-world, healthy options for kids, the components of our
production will seem immediately relevant, creating potential for real world behavior change.

With assistance from our partners, the cast will receive comprehensive training regarding how best to
reinforce and expand upon childhood obesity prevention messages with children at various age levels
during these post-performance sessions. Our actors will emphasize that any child can be a food
ambassador, helping his or her family and community feel better through fun, healthy choices.
Accompanying resource materials:
To further support the vital, critical thinking component, our Advisory Committee recommends
providing exit slips for teachers. These exit slips will prompt children to contribute their own thoughts
and provide evidence of what they’ve learned as a result of the production. Virginia Repertory Theatre
will also provide resources for teachers on our website, recommending how each class can use theatre
(skits) in grades 3-5 to help children own target messages and discuss what they’ve learned at home.
When promoting the production, Virginia Repertory Theatre will also advertise local, low-cost teacher
training programs that provide support to teachers who want to integrate healthy practices into the
classroom.
Materials, such as posters for classrooms that display key messages with our actors will be distributed to
teachers during performance visits, along with bookmarks, stickers and other promotional items from
the Virginia Department of Health. Gear will function as a medium to inform parents of the “special
performance” at school today, and serve as a healthy living reminder in the home environment.
Lastly, Virginia Repertory Theatre will provide Health Bingo cards that incorporate the healthy,
affordable, foods advertised in the program. If teachers choose to distribute the cards to their students,
children can try the displayed foods with their families to achieve bingo, and receive Virginia
Department of Health “swag” as prizes.
Community Outreach
The Advisory Committee recommends opening performances to parents whenever possible. Changing
childhood health behaviors requires parental support and parents themselves are often unaware of key
health concepts. In light of this counsel, Virginia Repertory Theatre will encourage schools to schedule
performances during back to school nights and other family events where parents are in attendance.

Evaluation
The program evaluation will examine information retention and changes in perceptions of self-efficacy.
The Advisory Committee recommends administering surveys before and after performances to measure
knowledge acquisition and changes in perceptions of self-efficacy related to program attendance. To
assess long-term information retention, Virginia Repertory Theatre will distribute the same survey 6
weeks after the performance date.
The addition of a qualitative component is also advised by the Advisory Committee to explore increases
in self-efficacy that may not be evident through survey responses. Measuring differences in the way
children relate to health information and coding qualitative data for “capability” language would serve
as an important dimension to the program evaluation and provide interesting data on the impact of
health theatre on perceptions of self-efficacy and empowerment.
Benefits
As a result of this program, 60 performances will occur across the state of Virginia during the first
semester of 2016-17. As a result of these performances:


10280 children will experience an engaging talk-back session with actors after the show and

model for health education through the theatrical arts.
Following this initial run of 60 performances, we anticipate that this program will continue to tour to
approximately 120 Virginia Schools per year for the foreseeable future.
Conclusion
This white paper outlined the gaps in current obesity prevention programs, detailed a consensus of
opinion regarding what should be communicated to a general school population (K-5) regarding the
issue of childhood obesity, and provided directions on how Virginia Repertory Theatre can deliver this
message most effectively to Virginia students. Based on this document and the Advisory Committee’s
response to this document, Virginia Repertory Theatre’s artistic director will create a script to be
performed to the general student population, commencing fall of 2016.
We at Virginia Repertory Theatre are excited to embark on this exciting project. Virginia Repertory’s
Community Health and Wellness program believes, as the famous psychologist Lev Vygotsky claimed,
that community plays a vital role in “meaning making” and that play and imagination are powerful
forces in redefining meaning and realities within communities. It is through play and imagination that
we learn to creatively redefine our perspectives, change how we see our environments, and
subsequently, mediate our own behaviors. We believe that theatre is a unique medium, which enables
children to participate genuinely in developing new, evolved health identities by:
1. Consuming health information through an engaging medium (theatre), and…
2. Subsequently using the theatrical arts to express how information on health and nutrition
relates to their own lives.
We look forward to developing this innovative, theatrical, education program to address childhood
obesity in Virginia.
