Rev. Leo Richard “Rick” Frechette, CP, DO, the 2013 recipient, says of his work serving the people of Haiti: “If not us, who; if HAITI Haiti is a place of immense natural beauty, both its people and its land. It is also a place of tremendous poverty and hardship, made even more difficult after the devastating earthquake in 2010 – which killed 300,000 people and displaced more than two million. Rev. Leo Richard “Rick” Frechette, CP, DO, has devoted his life’s work to empower and improve lives in this polarizing landscape. He has spent more than 25 years ministering to and healing the resilient people in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country, while overcoming many obstacles such as warlords and kidnappers and public health scourges like AIDS and tuberculosis. According to colleagues, Dr. Frechette inspires them to give back and be the best version of themselves. Dr. Frechette’s mantra is to enable, encourage and educate; and allow people to realize their potential. He believes that the humility to listen to others leads you to a good place—a practice that has defined his work and life. Born in Connecticut in 1953, Dr. Frechette earned math and philosophy degrees at Assumption College in Massachusetts before studying theology...

In its fourth year, the project builds teamwork and leadership skills among osteopathic medical students, while helping needy communities across the country. OMED HELPING HANDS OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL STUDENTS SERVE IN THE BIG APPLE D O - I NG G O O D THREE SQUARE FOOD BANK Each year, the AOF organizes a hands-on activity to give back to the local community in the OMED host city. This year, on the morning of Honors 2013, nearly 100 volunteers helped at the Three Square Food Bank, which serves the hungry in Southern distribution center sorting and mother and her four children. They had assumedly been waiting outside in the heat of the Dominican summer for nearly six hours. Immediately I could tell the smallest child, who as only one year old, was in dire need of a doctor. He didn’t have the energy to open his eyes and was running a very high fever. His mother said he had been experiencing vomiting and diarrhea every time she gave him food or water for the past five days. He was extremely dehydrated and not very responsive so we quickly decided the proper array of medication to give the child. I hurried to the pharmacy to make the suspension on the spot and brought the meds back to the mother along with some Gatorade to help replenish some of the boy’s lost electrolytes. I continued examining the rest of the family, while keeping a close eye on the child, which took approximately an hour. As I was getting ready to take them to our makeshift pharmacy next door, the little boy lifted up his head and smiled at me before grabbing his mom around the neck. The change that happened over the course of the exam was so rewarding to witness, as just minutes ago he appeared lifeless.” Ashley Jaglowicz, OMS II repackaging food for distribution. Three Square provides more than nearly 600 program partners. 4 Winter 2013 RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHICAGO The AOF made a donation of $1,000 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana designated for the Lurie House in downtown Chicago. In addition to the financial donation, members of the Advocates for the American Osteopathic Association (AAOA) volunteered for two days in July at the Lurie House, preparing lunch for families with children receiving treatment at Lurie Children’s Hospital. ▲ ✹ Osteopathic physicians, residents and students are able to make a difference around the world through the AOF Rossnick Humanitarian grant program and fulfill AOF’s vision to enrich global health by supporting osteopathic medicine. These are firsthand accounts from two of the 25 people who dedicated one to several weeks of their lives to provide osteopathic medical care to those who need it most. The stories are just one sliver of lifechanging trips that will forever impact how the storytellers will practice in the future. Nevada. Volunteers worked in the 18.8 million meals each year to This year 34 student leaders from the Student Osteopathic Medical Association and the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents helped repair and rebuild three homes in Staten Island and Brooklyn lost or damaged by Hurricane Sandy with the aid of New York City’s Habitat for Humanity. The students also rolled up their sleeves to garden and clean greenhouses alongside developmentally disabled adults from the Lifestyles for the Disabled program in Staten Island. Aung Pyie, 32, a student at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, was able to serve in his home away from home. He came to New York City from Burma in 2000, taught himself law, and won Humanitarian asylum with support from his mentors, friends and colleagues in NYC. He said he wanted to take part in the HumanTouch Student Leadership Project because, “through my trials, the concept of “paying it forward” has become a purpose in my life-- especially to give back to a city who has given me so much.” Carisa Champion-Lippmann, 27, a student at Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Davie, FL was on her second HumanTouch Student Leadership Project trip. She had helped initiate a separate volunteer project to provide needed materials immediately after Hurricane Sandy. “To actually go and help in person this summer through the AOF project was a special opportunity—made even better because I got to work with inspiring osteopathic students from around the country.” Champion-Lippmann added that she learned a lot about working with the disabled, a population she had not had much exposure to previously. “I loved getting to know the Lifestyles participants and feel like I will be a better person and physician after working with them,” she said. Pyie agreed. “Despite their limitations, they did not give up. Instead, they contributed to the community … it was one of the best experiences of my life.” Pyie hopes to practice in urban underserved areas and volunteer in refugee camps in the future. “This trip has validated my passion to help the disadvantaged and underserved,” he said. “It brought our profession to the community at a personal level and the HumanTouch project not only touched the lives of others, it also touched ours.” ROSSNICK HUMANITARIAN GRANTS AT WORK: STORIES FROM THE ROAD ▲ The AOF HumanTouch Leadership project was made possible by support from AOF Community Trust Partners: Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Inc. and Purdue Pharma. As a result the Dominican Republic clinic Ashley Jaglowicz, OMS II, served in, nearly 1,000 people received reliable health care that they would have otherwise gone without. Dominican Republic, July 2013 “My last family of the day consisted of a Ecuador, June 2013 Jennifer Lazor, DO, hiked five-hours on steep and dangerous trails with colleagues from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine to complete three home visits in one day and provide medical care to those who couldn’t walk or be transported to the local clinic. “Many patients in Ecuador have chronic headaches from dehydration and sun exposure. They also have a vast array of musculoskeletal complaints due to the hours of hard labor spent daily in the fields. Being able to perform OMM and teach some techniques to the local Ecuadorean physicians as well as the people, they can continue to apply these hands-on treatments even without access to traditional medication. I feel this is a remarkable gift for all.” Jennifer Lazor, DO ✹ DO it today.

Donate today at aof.org 7 L I K E US ON FACE BOOK ! Continued from page 1 at St. John’s University in New York. He became a Passionate priest in 1979, and served in a Baltimore parish for a few years until he met Father William B. Wasson, the founder of the Mexican orphanage Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH). He worked alongside Father Wasson, and later opened a second NPH orphanage in Honduras. In 1987 he went on to start Nos Petits Freres et Soeurs (NPFS) orphanage, which means “Our Little Brothers and Sisters” in French, on a mountaintop in Haiti. He still serves as director to the home for more than 400 orphaned and at-risk children who receive a preschool through eighth grade education, and is the medical director for NPH International, and regional director, Caribbean for NPH. To meet the overwhelming need for healthcare among his young wards, Dr. Frechette went back to school in his early 40s, and received his osteopathic medical degree in 1998 from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM), and completed his residency at the former St. Clare’s Hospital and Health Center in NYC. During medical school, he’d return to Haiti on weekends and breaks to continue his work as director of the orphanage and medical center—and even inspired some of his fellow students to join him on his trips. Dr. Frechette’s long-term commitment to the people of Haiti, especially its children, and his holistic approach to care, led him to create the St. Luke Foundation in 2001 with graduates of the NPFS program. This Haitian-run, organically-grown organization aims to propel change and progress in Haiti by transforming 8 2013 AOF LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD orphans and at-risk children into the country’s next leaders through healthcare, education and dignified humanitarian outreach. The life-giving programs reach more than 150,000 people each year and employ more than 900 Haitian staff. He didn’t have a master plan when he began—he just saw a need, tried to address it, and then worked to do it better. He helped found and now oversees St. Damien’s Hospital-the largest pediatric facility in Haiti, which serves 30,000 children annually for free. Through the St. Luke medical mission, he’s established two more hospitals, two maternity clinics, two mobile disaster response units and social service programs. With the St. Luke team he also established a school system, which blossomed from informal classes where parents joined together to teach their children to read, to 29 schools serving 8,000 students from elementary school through high school and a professional school. Dr. Frechette’s dedication to the people of Haiti illustrates how one person can truly make a difference. He has fearlessly accepted many challenges, serving with hope and compassion—hallmarks of the best osteopathic medical leaders in the world. ✹ American Osteopathic Foundation 142 E.
