Family Medicine Cares International
Bulletin VOLUME 30 • ISSUE 1 •2013 Family Medicine Cares International First Annual Delegation Trip Makes a World of Difference A major earthquake struck near the Haitian capital city of Portau-Prince, home to nearly three million people, in early 2010. The quake devastated the region, and Haiti — already one of the poorest countries in the world — is still coping with the devastating aftermath. Its people continue to struggle with a lack of food, education, and basic health care. The first annual Family Medicine Cares International Delegation spent a week in early February providing much-needed health care services to the people of Haiti, alongside in-country partner Heart to Heart International (HHI). The 21-member Delegation split into three distinct teams focused on patient care, medical education, and service to children and youth. continued on page 4 Family Medicine Cares International, the new international component of the AAFP Foundation’s humanitarian program Family Medicine Cares, was created to provide sustainable and accessible health care to underserved populations around the world, specifically those in disasterstricken Haiti. Your Foundation: A Year in Review Because of you, the AAFP Foundation was able to fund nearly 30 programs during 2012. Family Medicine — and the people in need of our specialty — are stronger thanks to your support. The following programs were possible due to your generosity in the past year: denotes more story online. OUR MISSION The American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation advances the values of Family Medicine by promoting humanitarian, educational, and scientific initiatives that improve the health of all people. • The AAFP Foundation’s humanitarian program, Family Medicine Cares USA, continued its support of new free health clinics in communities across the United States through grants and volunteer efforts. Since April 2011, more than $70,000 has been provided to help open doors for four new clinics. • The Foundation proudly introduced Family Medicine Cares International, the new international component of the Family Medicine Cares program. This humanitarian initiative provides patient care, delivers education and training in Family Medicine, and works to improve the health and quality of life of people in Haiti. See page 4 to learn more. • Through the Family Medicine Philanthropic Consortium (FMPC) Grant Awards program $104,250 was provided to support the work of AAFP Chapters and Chapter Foundations at the grassroots level. This is only accomplished through your support of the Dues Check-Off campaign each year. • During the past 18 months, the Foundation funded more than $306,000 in support of the Joint Grant Awards Program (JGAP) and Research Stimulation and PBRN Stimulation Grants. • Diabetes management and prevention received significant attention this year, as more than $275,000 was provided in grants to AAFP Constituent Chapters for Highlight on Diabetes. The program delivered physician and patient resources for the management of diabetes. In addition, Cities for Life, which was created to facilitate healthy lifestyles and diabetes management, launched in 2012 with a kick-off in Birmingham, AL. continued on page 2 Letter from the President — Mary Jo Welker, MD, FAAFP Dear Friends and Colleagues, These volunteers, both medical and non-medical, shared the good work of Family Medicine through medical education symposia for Haitian residents, physicians, and medical students, clinic improvement projects, and also helped to improve the health of people throughout the country by attending to patients in community clinics. The trip was a huge success and laid the groundwork for the future of Family Medicine Cares International. Each volunteer was able to see firsthand the value of what the program can bring to the people of Haiti. Another successful year has passed for the AAFP Foundation – a year that was only possible because of support from you and your colleagues. Your generosity was evident through the many humanitarian, scientific, and educational initiatives the AAFP Foundation has been able to support. Together, we were able to showcase the true heart of Family Medicine. The Foundation continues to support the future of Family Medicine through the National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students Scholarship Program. We’re proud to announce 200 students and residents will benefit from the Foundation’s support in 2013. National Conference scholarships are only a small part of what the Foundation is able to do with your support. Throughout 2012 the Foundation continued to develop Family Medicine Cares USA, and also launched Family Medicine Cares International — two initiatives that help support the health care needs of underserved populations at home and abroad. Four health clinics across the United States — launched with help from Family Medicine Cares USA — have provided nearly 5,000 patients a total of 10,679 office visits worth $2.9 million in services received since the program began in 2011. Without Family Medicine Cares USA, those patients would not have had access to the health care they so desperately needed. It has been an honor to work with you as the AAFP Foundation continues to impact the lives of many through our charitable work. As always, thank you for your support of our Foundation and our specialty. More than 20 volunteers attended the first annual Family Medicine Cares International Delegation trip to Haiti in early February.

And with your help, the Foundation will be able to provide 200 scholarships for National Conference in 2013. This scholarship program helps ensure the future of Family Medicine. Thank you for your continued support of the AAFP Foundation. It is only through your generosity that we are able to do the good work of Family Medicine. 2 Your Foundation at Work Family Medicine Interest Group Funding Initiative Reaching Medical Students Across the Country More than 147 Family Medicine Interest Groups (FMIGs) were eligible to receive funding in 2012 for the activities that reach out to and engage students at their medical schools thanks to financial support from AAFP Foundation donors. The FMIG Funding Initiative was able to reach more target schools (schools without a department of Family Medicine) this year than ever before. Ten of the 11 existing target schools applied for funding — evidence that active FMIGs exist on those campuses even in the absence of a medical school structure that supports Family Medicine. Yale University in New Haven, CT is one of those target schools, and was able to reach 67 students through its qualifying FMIG event — a Family Medicine Procedure Workshop. “We talked about the specialty of Family Medicine and gave students an opportunity to become members of the AAFP,” said Nyasha George, a fourth-year medical student and an FMIG leader at Yale. “Then students had the opportunity to learn several Family Medicine procedures.” Clinical skills or procedure workshops are popular on medical school campuses, particularly among first- and second-year students who are ready for hands-on experience. Through support from the FMIG Funding Initiative, FMIGs are able to host these popular events, reaching many students on campus and teaching them the scope of Family Medicine. The AAFP is able to provide support for Yale’s FMIG, and so many others, through the AAFP Foundation and its donors. Your continued donations are both appreciated and critical to future family physicians’ educational development. Submit Your Chapter’s FMPC Grant Application Each year, the Family Medicine Philanthropic Consortium (FMPC) Grant Awards provide funding to support programs of the AAFP Constituent Chapters and Chapter Foundations that help improve the health of all people. In 2012, the FMPC Grant Awards provided $104,250 in funding for 29 projects from 18 states and one multi-state collaborative. Apply by June 15 for the opportunity to earn one of these competitive grants in 2013, available only to AAFP Constituent Chapters and Chapter Foundations. Each state may submit up to three applications per year; applications can be submitted by the state AAFP Chapter, Chapter Foundation, or both. Past projects include workshops and conferences for residents and medical students, initiatives to promote public nutrition and fitness, leadership training meetings for physicians, and much more. Visit www.aafpfoundation.org/fmpcgrants for additional information. National Conference Scholarships: Your Support Matters Thanks to your donations, the Foundation increased its funding for the second consecutive year for the National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students Scholarship Program. The Foundation provided 125 scholarships in 2011, 169 in 2012, and will provide 200 scholarships for the 2013 National Conference. Your support truly does make a difference, as evidenced by this second-year medical student who attended National Conference in 2012: “Attending National Conference was a powerful experience for me. Meeting so many other students and physicians who share my values and philosophy of medicine affected me deeply. Thank you again for making my experience possible; the AAFP really has shaped my life and my career in a tangible way by enabling me to attend the conference.” With your help, the Foundation can continue to make a difference for medical students, Family Medicine residents, and for the future of Family Medicine through the National Conference Scholarship Program. In addition, donors who contribute a full scholarship of $600 will be matched with a scholarship recipient. 3 Your Foundation at Work Family Medicine Cares International, continued from page 1 PATIENT CARE TEAM As part of the Family Medicine Cares International Patient Care program component, licensed physicians and residents (under physician supervision) attended to patients at community clinics during the Delegation trip. The Patient Care team, comprised of seven family physicians, treated more than 600 patients (ranging from two weeks to 92 years old) at five clinic locations throughout the region. They also provided more than 100 well-child visits at local orphanages — something incredibly rare for children in Haiti. and with youth from the gang-controlled Bel Air community. They were able to paint the exterior of the Rose Mina Orphanage and also connect with more than 100 children at the facility. The team also made improvements to the Bel Air Clinic, which included a new triage area, improved bathroom facilities, and modifications to ensure secure pharmacy operations. “The kids are just so loving and so caring, and they welcome us with open arms,” said Karen Smith, Service team volunteer. “It doesn’t matter that we don’t speak the same language, because we do speak the same language — as human beings.” “I’m so proud to be part of the first Delegation trip,” said Julie Anderson, MD, a family physician volunteer from St. Cloud, MN. “I realized we have so much in the United States. Our patients have so much…I guess if there’s anything I can share with my colleagues, my patients, and my family (from this experience), it’s that we can’t take what we have at home for granted.” The team was also able to meet with the vo-tech students who have received scholarships through the AAFP Foundation Family Medicine Cares International program. ONGOING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES As part of Family Medicine Care International, two to three volunteer physicians are needed each week throughout the year to provide ongoing patient care in community clinics in Haiti. These volunteer physicians generally serve one-week deployments, working alongside Haitian medical personnel to deliver the quality care the local population so desperately needs. All volunteers are escorted by HHI in-country staff and housed at HHI volunteer centers. MEDICAL EDUCATION TEAM The Medical Education team, made up of six family physicians and one staff member, developed and presented two one-day symposia for Family Medicine residents, physicians, and medical students in Cap Haitien and Port-au-Prince. The symposia included an overview of Family Medicine, cardiovascular risk, and diabetes, which were specific medical topics identified by our in-country residency program and medical school partners. HELP YOUR FOUNDATION MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE VOLUNTEER: Plan a trip to Haiti with the 2014 Family Medicine Cares International Delegation or as part of the ongoing volunteer program. Visit www.aafpfoundation.org/familymedicinecares to learn more. A critical part of the team’s schedule included meeting with the medical schools, area physician leaders, and the Ministry of Health in Port-au-Prince to discuss future symposia, curriculum, and resource needs, plus a long-term role in supporting the development of Family Medicine in Haiti. DONATE: Good work can’t happen without financial support. Your INTERNATIONAL Foundation needs your help to American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation build this exciting new program.

SERVICE TEAM The Service team consisted of seven non-medical individuals who focused on the needs of children and youth. The team spent considerable time at the Rose Mina and Fondwa orphanages 4 Your Foundation at Work Family Medicine Cares USA Makes an Impact The road to accessing health care has been filled with challenges for Andria Guidotti. This 36-yearold mother of two active teenage girls first became ill in 2000. Diagnosed with diabetes, her condition became much more difficult to manage when her husband lost both his job, and their health insurance, in 2009. In the few years since losing her health insurance, diabetes had increasingly taken a toll on her health. Without insurance, Andria couldn’t afford to take a blood test to keep track of her condition. And during the winter of 2011, access to programs and venues to refill her medications finally ran out. She applied to the State’s medical plan lottery, but didn’t hear back quickly. One day in early 2012, Andria’s friend saw a Founders Clinic brochure at the local Women’s Advocate Center. Knowing of her significant health care needs, her friend gave the brochure to Andria, who quickly contacted the clinic. Because of a grant from Family Medicine Cares USA, the Founders Clinic was able to open its doors and serve the health needs of those like Andria in Clackamas County in Oregon. After Andria contacted the clinic, an appointment with Dr. Michael Norris, AAFP member and Clinic Director, was scheduled for the next day. As part of Andria’s examination, Dr. Norris ordered lab tests. When he received the results he called Andria immediately because he was concerned about her kidneys. Dr. Norris arranged for her to see a a nephrologist specializing in kidney disease. Andria has since been under his care. Since June, Andria has had two shunts implanted, and has begun dialysis — three times a week, four hours a day. “The Founders Clinic saved my life,” Andria said. “Every person I have come into contact with — nurses, doctors, front desk volunteers — have worked hard to help me. I wouldn’t be here without the Founders Clinic.” For Andria, and for many other uninsured patients, the clinic has not only provided primary health care services, but is serving as the bridge to obtaining critical care from specialists. Andria still faces some challenging days ahead. But her road to a hopeful future has been paved by the care she received at the Founders Clinic. USA American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation 2013 Family Medicine Cares Resident Service Award The Family Medicine Cares Resident Service Award was established to give Family Medicine residents an opportunity to fulfill a desire to address health disparities of the underserved in their communities. Nearly 30 proposals were submitted, and the selection committee faced the difficult task of choosing a grant recipient. The committee was impressed with the residents’ dedication to implement projects that will expand health care services to vulnerable populations. To find out more about some of the projects submitted and to learn the 2013 award recipient, visit www.aafpfoundation.org/fmcresidentservice. 5 Supporting Family Medicine Research for 22 Years The Joint Grant Awards Program (JGAP) and the Research Stimulation Grants, both funded by donations from practicing family physicians, have supported valuable research efforts concerning the practice of Family Medicine for the past 22 years. In 2012, the AAFP Foundation granted nearly $180,000 for these two research programs. Please visit www.aafpfoundation.org for a full list of grant recipients. Stopping Kids From Starting for 25 Years Tar Wars, the AAFP’s youth tobaccoprevention program, has educated more than 9 million children on the effects of tobacco use throughout the past 25 years. Your Foundation provides funding for Tar Wars, and encourages you to join in celebrating its 25th Anniversary. The Tar Wars program is excited to celebrate its 25th Anniversary in collaboration with the 2013 Tar Wars National Conference to be held July 15-16 in Washington, D.C. The conference will feature several prominent speakers on the topic of smoking prevention. Let’s stop kids from starting. Help celebrate this 25th Anniversary by making a $25 donation to the AAFP Foundation. Visit www.aafpfoundation. org/donatetoday and designate Tar Wars in your contribution.

Dr. Rick Flinders of Santa Rosa, CA conducted research for his project, “The Santa Rosa Story: A Local Chapter in the Nation’s History of Family Medicine,” while his fellow awardee, Ms. Robin Gotler of Richfield, MN researched her project, “The Roots of Family Practice Research.” Dr. Flinders’ work is a study in the history and development of the Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program within the larger context of the history and evolution of Family Medicine. Ms. Gotler’s fellowship award funded a study that aims to further understand what shaped the priority given to research as the specialty of family practice was established in its early years. Flinders is a practicing family physician and serves as the Inpatient Director of the Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program, and also as Chair of the Editorial Board of the Sonoma County Medical Association. Gotler is the Reflections Editor and Editorial Coordinator of the Annals of Family Medicine, a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary research journal based at Case Western Reserve University.
