Catering for sponsor party was donated by

Guests enjoying the pre-concert sponsor party
at the Key Center.
Even a vigorous downpour and record-breaking heat
didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the more than 3,000
people who gathered at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion on
Saturday, July 30, to enjoy a performance by renowned
bluegrass ensemble Alison Krauss & Union Station.
After a lively opening set by Americana band Dawes,
Alison and band members Dan Tyminski, Ron Block
and Jerry Douglas took to the stage. Set against a
background of sepia-tone photographs of the 1930s, the
band performed songs from their newly-released album
Paper Airplane. Alison’s ethereal voice and extraordinary
fiddle playing hung in the humid air mesmerizing the
audience. Following an incredible Dobro solo by Jerry
Douglas, singer-guitarist Dan Tyminski performed his
bluegrass hit “Man of Constant Sorrow” from the 2000
film, O Brother Where Art Thou.
Thanks to the generous support of concert sponsors
and ticket purchasers, this concert raised $120,000
for the CFC. More than 80 people, foundations and
businesses purchased sponsor packages ranging
from $500 to $10,000. The sponsors who gathered at
the Key Recreation Center before the concert were
transported to a rustic country garden party created
by the team at Easton Events with contributions from
Blue Ridge Light Forms, Floral Images, Festive Fare
and Skyline Tent Company. Harvest Moon Catering
provided an array of delicious hors d’oeuvres served by
wait staff who donated their time for the event. Tastings
Wine Shop and Virginia Eagle Distributing provided
a selection of wine and beer. Lively bluegrass music
was provided by the Liza Bance Band. Lining the walls
were retrospective posters created by Payne, Ross &
Associates highlighting each of the CFC’s eight benefit
concerts—Bruce Hornsby at Cabell Hall, the Indigo Girls
at the MLK Performing Arts Center, Emmylou Harris at
the Paramount and Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Alanis
Morissette and Sheryl Crow at the nTelos Wireless
Pavilion. Gordie Croll from Cavalier Reporting created
a concert retrospective video, which played on a large
screen television loaned by Crutchfield.
This year the CFC
surpassed the $1,000,000
mark with total funds
raised from the series of
eight benefit concerts. We
are extremely grateful to
Coran Capshaw, Kirby
Hutto and their teams at
Red Light Management
and the nTelos Wireless
Pavilion for their generous
support of this invaluable
fundraiser.

This newsletter is filled with appreciation—for the events
that are the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts, for the
new additions to our staff team, for the donors that contribute
generously and for the programs that our volunteers make
possible. It feels like so much good happens at the CFC
every day that we could share and show our gratitude much
more frequently than we can produce a newsletter. One
more way we are showing the community what you make
possible is through regular postings on our new Facebook
page. Please “like” us on Facebook to be linked in to “shoutouts,” special information and event postings. If you like us
by December 16, 2011, you will be entered for a drawing for
an overnight stay at the Inn at Court Square.
Executive
With appreciation comes obligation. Whether you are a
donor, volunteer or community partner, one way we extend
Director —
our thanks is by being good stewards of your donation,
whatever it may have been. An example of this includes not
only marshalling resources to maximize services, but also
Erika Viccellio
realizing when more are needed. While our dental program
has experienced continuous growth over the last five years,
(1,034% increase in patients served and 980% increase in visits) we still carry a waiting
list of 351 people. Our dental volunteers are doing more than they ever have (319%
increase in dental volunteer hours), but more is needed. For that reason we have hired
Dr. Daniel Vacendak and Dental Assistant Mona Thompson on a short-term basis
to supplement the work of our dental staff and volunteer dentists — specifically to
decrease the wait time of patients in acute pain. Welcome to everyone who has joined
our team: Daniel Vacendak, DDS, Mona Thompson, dental assistant, Jean Burke,
receptionist, and Yoshie Perez, patient services coordinator.
You will be hearing from us again in the next several weeks.
Our annual fund drive letters will be mailed in October, another
reason we need to thank you: for your ongoing support. And
shortly after that, you will receive our FY2011 annual report,
which highlights all that your donations and volunteer support
made possible. This year we will be posting our volunteer and
donor names on our website. With the extensive numbers of each (a
high quality problem) we are attempting to reduce costs by publishing the 2,000+
names just once a year in print and posting a cumulative list annually on our website.
If you prefer not to be listed, please let us know.
One final note, the CFC opened its doors in September 1992 in the Macgregor Motors
building on West Main Street. At that time, health care reform was first being discussed
and the founding board of directors hoped that the need for the CFC’s services would
be brief. Twenty years have passed, health care reform is further along than ever
before and yet the demands for the CFC’s services are greater than ever. Throughout
2012 we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary and making plans to continue to
fill in the health care gaps for our neighbors in need. We’ll share more details about
anniversary events and initiatives in our spring issue of House Call.
Welcome to new CFC staff members,
Receptionist Jean Burke (on left) and to
our new Patient Care Coordinator Yoshie
Perez! Jean will be greeting patients,
manning the phones and managing the
front office.Yoshie will be working with
Letisia Allen determining eligibility for new
patients, scheduling referrals and providing
follow up care.
Continued from cover page
The success of this year’s concert and the concert series is the result of our community’s
commitment to ensuring that health care services are available for people without health
insurance or financial resources. From our generous sponsors and the businesses that
provided pro bono services listed below, to the people who bought tickets, to the volunteers
who distributed programs, managed sponsor parking and manned the concession stands,
this concert series has allowed the CFC to raise funds so we can better serve our patients
and increase public awareness of the clinic. Alison Krauss & Union Station are a tough act
to follow, but we’re looking forward to hosting another concert next spring or summer. Stay
tuned for more details!

NAIFA-CV Golf Tournament hits another hole-in-one!
NAIFA-CV 2011
ANNUAL CHARITY
GOLF TOURNAMENT
May 23, 2011
Glenmore Country
Club
Members of the Central Virginia Chapter of the National Association of
Insurance & Financial Advisors and the Golf Tournament Committee
present a check for $28,000 to the CFC
Thanks to generous support from sponsors and participants, and the hard work of the
tournament committee, the 2011 NAIFA-CV Charity Golf Tournament was a resounding
success raising a record-breaking $28,000 for the CFC. This year’s tournament was
held for the first time at Glenmore Country Club. On a beautiful—and quite blustery—
spring day, 28 teams tackled Glenmore’s 18-hole par 72 championship golf course.
Late in the afternoon the golfers, joined by their spouses and guests, enjoyed drinks
and delicious hors d’oeuvres in Glenmore’s ballroom while they perused an enticing
display of silent auction items including vacation homes, travel packages, winery tours,
golf packages, jewelry and gift certificates from local restaurants. The reception was
followed by an informal seated dinner and live raffle. June & Herb Craddock were the
winners of a Buffalo Wings Party donated by Mark Moser of BuffWings.com. Jack
Lindgren won the Sony flat-screen television donated by Crutchfield. After dinner,
Glenmore’s golf pro Jack Snyder announced the winners of the tournament. The team
of Clyde Smith, Brandt Dixon, Buster Taylor and Jimmy Zeeff took first place in Division
I. The Division II winner was the Chamberlin Edmonds team from Atlanta. First place in
the Women’s Division were Elizabeth Ewing, Ruth Conlon, Mary Van Miller and Cathy
Haney. Nick Little and Amy Ellerton were recognized as winners of the Longest Drive
contest. Winners of the Closet-to-the-Pin contest were Mike Ashby, Brandt Dixon, Jack
Lindgren and Paul Manning.
The CFC is very grateful for the many businesses and individuals who supported
the tournament, particularly Glenmore Country Club; Gold Sponsors US Joiner, UVA
Health System and The Village at Gordon House; Silver Sponsors Craddock Insurance
Services, Bio-Cat and Reines Jewelers; and Media Sponsor Charlottesville Newsplex.
Many thanks also to Custom Management Group. CMG volunteers solicited silent
auction items, planned the display and coordinated silent auction bidding and checkout
resulting in net proceeds of $8,000.
Many generous patrons donated
items to the CFC tournament

We’re helping our community “Live & Breathe Easy”
Everyone knows of the negative health consequences of smoking, but what does it take
to quit? It takes resolve, information, coping skills and most importantly, encouragement
and support.
To help more members of our community Live & Breathe Easy, the Charlottesville Free
Clinic is offering a Quit Smoking Support Group twice a year, co-sponsored by Martha
Jefferson Hospital and the UVA Health System. Retired thoracic surgeon and CFC board
member Dr. Tom Daniel and the CFC Nurse Practitioner, Barrie Carveth, facilitate the
Dr. Tom Daniel co-facilitates the CFC’s
group. The group is free and open to anyone in the community. The group meets weekly on
Quit Smoking Support Group with CFC
Thursday nights from 5:30-6:30 for 12 weeks. The meetings feature a speaker on a topic
Nurse Practitioner Barrie Carveth.
related to smoking cessation. Participants discuss
their challenges with quitting smoking, share ways
to cope with the struggle and set short and long term individual goals. During the last two
sessions, 11 people quit smoking—a 39% success rate!
The fall session will end on November 17. People are invited to join the group at anytime.
The next 3-month session will start in March 2012.
Please help us get the word out in the community about this much-needed program. If
you are an employer, we would be happy to provide a poster for your employee bulletin
board or flyers. If you are a health care provider, please recommend this program to your
patients.

CFC launches new program for diabetic patients
For insulin-dependent diabetics to maintain
a good quality of life, they must test their
blood sugar level on a regular basis, use
the proper dosage of insulin and be alert for
new symptoms. Without good control of their
disease, diabetics risk damage to their eyes,
kidneys and cardiovascular system. Diabetic
patients can be “non compliant” with their
daily insulin regulation for different reasons
including lack of understanding about the
disease and denial. Research has shown
that close monitoring and support provided
by a health care professional can significantly
improve symptoms and help to prevent further
damage.
With support from a multi-disciplinary team, the
CFC has launched a new program for insulindependent CFC patients. Fannie Rankin-Vinci
(Diabetic Educator) and Sam Dittrich (long
time volunteer and graduate MPH student at
Emory University) worked with CFC Patient
Care Manager Christine Worsham to adapt
the Long Acting Insulin Protocol currently
used at UVA for a free clinic setting. Through
the CFC Insulin Titration Program, diabetic
patients are referred to the program by an
endocrinologist and matched with a trained
medical student. The medical students will talk
6 House Call
with their assigned patients weekly to monitor
their symptoms and adjust their insulin dosage
as needed. They will also track hemoglobin
A1C levels and other lab values to evaluate
how well the patient is responding to treatment.
The program will be evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and
12-month intervals. The evaluation will include:
tracking of HA1C levels and blood pressure
readings, patient satisfaction, physician input
and review of patient retention and participation.
We expect that other measures will be identified
and added to the evaluation process.
A group from the UVA Darden
School of Business helped to
create new charts, revamp old
files and create post-operative
packs for our dental patients.
UVA endocrinologists Jessicah Collins, MD,
and Tony McCall, MD, have volunteered to
oversee the program along with the CFC’s
volunteer medical directors. Medical students
will be trained to work with patients. Dr. Collins
facilitated an orientation session in late June for
12 medical students, staff and volunteers helping
with the program. Patients are recommended
for the program after they’ve seen one of the
CFC’s volunteer endocrinologists.
Currently, there are 10 patients enrolled in
the program. We are very excited about the
program and the opportunity it will provide to
improve the lives of our diabetic patients and
familiarize medical students with the complexity
of caring for diabetic patients.
Volunteers from the National
Ground Intelligence Center gave
the CFC front entrance a muchneeded face-lift.
Thank You CFC Supporters!
The Charlottesville Free Clinic would not exist without financial support from the community. We are very grateful for the generous
individuals, foundations, businesses, churches, public funders and civic organizations who provide ongoing support for the CFC with
donations, grants, participation in fundraising events or pro bono goods and services. Thank you for helping the CFC ensure that we can
continue to meet the health care needs of the low-income uninsured families who live or work in the greater Charlottesville/Albemarle
community.
