PROVIDE FAITH BASED MEDICAL CARE
About
HELPING HANDS HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER (HHHWC) IS FAITH- BASED FREE MEDICAL CLINIC THAT HAS GARNISHED THE SUPPORT OF DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS. THE HARD WORK AND PASSION OF ALL THE STAFF MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS IS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH PATIENT CARE. HHHWC MANAGED THE TRANSITION OF ITS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND OPERATED WITHOUT AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR OVER SIX MONTHS. THIS DIFFICULT TIME PROVED JUST HOW DEDICATED THE REMAINING STAFF MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS WERE. HHHWC SUCCESSFULLY RAN CLINICS THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR WITHOUT AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CONTINUED TO SERVE THE SAME VOLUME OF PATIENTS. HHHWC SAW 457 NEW UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS IN 2017. THE CLINIC HOSTED 640 PATIENTS FOR A TOTAL OF 837 CLINIC VISITS. OVER 67% OF OUR PATIENTS WERE WOMEN AND NEARLY 32% WERE MEN. BREAKING DOWN THE HHHWC PATIENT POPULATION BY AGE, NEARLY 20% OF CLINIC VISITS WERE PATIENTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 19 AND 29, OVER 17% WERE PATIENTS BETWEEN 30 AND 39, OVER 20% WERE PATIENTS BETWEEN THE 40 AND 49, OVER 23% WERE PATIENTS BETWEEN 50 AND 59, ABOUT 8% WERE PATIENTS BETWEEN 60 AND 64, AND ABOUT 11% WERE PATIENTS OVER THE AGE OF 65. THIS IS A CHANGE FROM 2016 WHERE PATIENTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 19 AND 29 WERE THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF THE HHHWC'S PATIENT POPULATION. THE GREATEST NUMBERS OF OUR PATIENTS COME FROM COLUMBUS, WITH OVER 83%. REYNOLDSBURG AND CANAL WINCHESTER BROUGHT IN THE SECOND GREATEST NUMBER OF PATIENTS, WITH 3.5% AND 3.4% RESPECTIVELY. DURING THE PATIENT VISITS, NEARLY 65% OF PATIENTS IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS BLACK, NEARLY 9% AS ASIAN, OVER 14% AS WHITE, AND NEARLY 12% AS OTHER. THESE PERCENTAGES CLOSELY MATCH THOSE REPORTED FROM 2016. OVER 32% OF HHHWC PATIENTS REPORTED BEING UNEMPLOYED DURING THEIR VISIT; IN ADDITION, NEARLY 15% OF PATIENTS WERE WORKING FULL-TIME AND OVER 21% OF PATIENTS WERE WORKING PART-TIME. HHHWC ALSO MANAGED THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THE 35,000 CVS HEALTH FOUNDATION GRANT FOR CARE COORDINATION AND HEALTH COACHING. THE GRANT ALLOWED HHHWC TO USE TWINE, AN INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE PRODUCT THAT WAS DEVELOPED AT MIT, AND CAREMESSAGE, A TEXT MESSAGING NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. HHHWC DEVELOPED A HYPERTENSION PROGRAM USING TWINE AND CAREMESSGE. PATIENTS WITH UNCONTROLLED HYPERTENSION ARE GENERALLY LOW INCOME, MINORITY GROUPS LIVING IN CENTRAL OHIO. THE MAJORITY OF THESE PATIENTS CANNOT AFFORD MEDICAL CARE AND HAVE NEVER HAD REGULAR OR RELIABLE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE OR HEALTH COACHES WHO CAN EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THEIR HYPERTENSION. AFTER IMPLEMENTING THE HYPERTENSION PROGRAM FOR ONE YEAR, HHHWC RECRUITED 30 PATIENTS TO USE THE TWINE SYSTEM, WITH 19 PATIENTS BEING ACTIVE USERS AND 11 PATIENTS BEING INACTIVE USERS. WITH 30 PATIENTS AND THERE BEING 24 CLINIC WEEKS PER YEAR, HHHWC WAS ABLE TO RECRUIT AN AVERAGE OF MORE THAN ONE PATIENT PER WEEK. HHHWC ALSO RECRUITED 68 PATIENTS TO USE CAREMESSAGE. IN 2017, HHHWC CONTINUED TO PERFORM HYPERTENSION SCREENINGS, DIABETES SCREENINGS, AND OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATION CONSULTATIONS IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING DENTAL REFERRALS. ALL OF THESE FUNCTIONS WERE PERFORMED BY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMITTED VOLUNTEER CORPS. THE ORGANIZATION CELEBRATED ITS 10TH YEAR IN OPERATION DURING 2017. HHHWC HOSTED A 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY IN NOVEMBER. THE ORGANIZATION CELEBRATED A DECADE OF OPERATION WITH OVER 120 GUESTS, INCLUDING DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS. DR. JON WISPE FROM THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY'S COLLEGE OF MEDICINE SPOKE ABOUT THE EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN MEDICAL CARE. DR. NANCY HENCEROTH-GATTO, HHHWC BOARD PRESIDENT, ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEDICATION OF OUR VOLUNTEERS BY PRESENTING OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEER AWARDS. THE EVENT WAS AN HONORABLE AND SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION OF THE ORGANIZATION. HHHWC HELD ONE MAJOR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN WITH ITS 9TH ANNUAL BOWL TO HELP EVENT. HHHWC'S MAJOR SUPPORTERS CONTINUE TO BE THE CHURCHES, WITH THE GREATEST SUPPORT COMING FROM THE NORTHLAND DEANERY OF CATHOLIC CHURCHES. OPERATION HELPING HANDS, HHHWC'S DONATION AND AUCTION SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, LAGGED A BIT IN 2017, BUT IS EXPECTED TO BOUNCE BACK TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM FOR THE ORGANIZATION IN THE FUTURE. OUR 23 PROFESSIONALLY LICENSED VOLUNTEERS (DOCTORS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS, ATTORNEYS, CPA) CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN 580 HOURS OF SERVICE WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF MORE THAN 55,000.
