LAURINBURG A CVS Health Foundation grant will enable the Scotland Community Health Clinic to provide classes from now through the fall on reducing diabetes risk factors.

The $25,000 grant to the clinic was one of 55 awarded nationwide by the CVS foundation in partnership with the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, and one of three in North Carolina. It will help the clinic support community education classes on reducing risk factors for diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and obesity.

While those classes will be useful to those with diabetes, it is also aimed at those with risk factors for the disease, to help them prevent it from taking root.

“It includes those at risk because we’re going after precursors to diabetes,” said clinic director Andy Kurtzman. “Ideally what I want to do is try to track certain outcome measures for patients who take the classes to see if having taken the course they make any improvements.”

The grant also provides funding for the clinic’s medical provider to monitor class participants willing to have their outcome measures such as blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol tracked during the course of the sessions.

The free clinic grants are part of the CVS Health Foundation’s multi-year, $5 million commitment to supporting community health and expanding access to quality health care nationwide through partnerships with the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, the School-Based Health Alliance, and the National Association of Community Health Centers.

“Our partnership with the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics allows us to provide the funding needed to ensure thousands of people in local communities have access to the health services they need,” said Eileen Howard Boone, CVS Health Foundation’s president. “We are honored to support Scotland Community Health Clinic and recognize the work they do to improve patient outcomes in Scotland County.”

By educating a few individuals about diabetes risk factors and the healthy habits that can prevent them, Kurtzman said that the clinic aims for that information to be disseminated beyond that core group of patients.

“I want them to be those pebbles that get educated and have a ripple effect on the whole community,” he said. “I encourage them to talk to their friends and relatives about what they learn.”

Since opening in 2007, the Scotland Community Health Clinic has provided free routine medical care and prescription assistance to uninsured adults in the county who live below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

The clinic is funded by individual and community donations and grants from state, regional and private organizations.

The ceremony will take place on April 20 at the United States embassy, 142 Old Hope Road in St Andrew.

Discretionary grants and donor-direct grant awards of more than J$26 million will be presented to Alpha Boys’ School, Breds Youth Leadership Programme, Caribbean American Center of New York, St Elizabeth Schools, Chichibud, Cornwall Regional Hospital, CUMI, Do Good Jamaica, Dudley Grant Foundation, Hampton Old Girls, Friends of Hopewell School, Hanover Charities, Jamaica Epilepsy Foundation, JASY, Maxfield Park Children’s Home, PALS, Promise Learning, Race Course Primary, Rose Town Foundation, Project Sprout, Sickle Cell Trust, SOS Children’s Village, St Mary’s Preparatory, Teach Caribbean, Tennis Jamaica, The Animal House, Waterhouse Community Benevolent Society, YUTE and four University of the West Indies bursaries of scholarships from the Cobb Family Foundation, Ambassador J.

If you are a developer who is currently working on an Ethereum-based project, there could now be additional funding available to you.

In a recent blog post, the Ethereum Foundation announced E Vgrants (originally named THgrants): a program intended to support developers who are making significant contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem.

According to the announcement, written by grants administrator Wendell Davis, the goals of E Vgrants are threefold:

To provide developers interested in contributing to the Ethereum ecosystem the opportunity to spend significant time on their project in order to bring it to completion.
To extend the codebase with useful components that are not the main focus of THDEV, but which would be very valuable to users of Ethereum generally.
To increase outreach to other communities and the general public.

Grants are not part of a venture capital program, nor are they intended as bounty offerings. Dapps that will run on the Ethereum platform will include financial applications (subcurrencies, financial derivatives, hedging contracts, savings wallets, wills, full-scale employment contracts, real estate), semi-financial applications (self-enforcing bounties for solutions to computational problems, insurance), and nonfinancial applications (online voting and decentralized governance, file storage).

Other potential Dapps could include secure auctions and prediction markets, decentralized customer matching services (along the lines of Uber and AirBnB), and a host of Internet of Thing apps.

Spring is here so that means that Gastonia’s streets will be flooded with Community Foundation runners representing the 140-plus nonprofits that serve our community. The event name has transitioned from Run for the Money to the Community Foundation Run, but the purpose is unchanged. Terrance and hundreds of other children are the reason we run, volunteer and raise funds every spring. From Cherryville to Belmont and South Gastonia to Stanley, children like Terrance are served by Community Foundation Run participants like Bit of Hope Ranch, where Executive Director Meg Vanderbilt and her staff employ equine therapy to support bereaved, brokenhearted children. The Community Foundation cannot fund parents for Terrance, but they can fund supports. I invite you to make this year’s Community Foundation Run more than another enjoyable event.

Over 400 people joined in the annual celebration this year dubbed the “wedding reception we’ve all been waiting for.” Held at The Proximity Hotel, attendees of the gala and after party were greeted with wedding-themed glitz and glamor as community members came together to raise funds supporting the foundation’s community grant programs and other work.

“It was completely fantastic,” says foundation Executive Director Brenna Ragghianti. “They were able to invite 35 of their closest friends and family and get married in a private way and celebrate publicly in the gala.”

Guilford Green Foundation uses the money raised at the gala and other events, like their regular Green Queen Bingo activities, to fund grants to local non-profits. You can support QNotes You can support independent, local LGBT media! On Stands Now
