A Message From the Executive Director
|
 |
| Joy S. Grady |
Here at WHAT we have an "attitude of gratitude" for many reasons. One reason we are grateful is that, thanks to your contributions, our year end fundraiser brought in just over $13,600! These donations will help us to reach hundreds of teens who might otherwise have gone without healthcare services.
WHAT is a special place for the teens we serve. Not only do we provide medical services, but healthy behaviors like how to eat right and quit smoking, and coping skills for dealing with life's twists and turns are also an important element of the integrated care we provide. WHAT seeks to treat the whole teen, mind, body and soul. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve teens and possibly make a real difference in their lives.
Even though we are immensely grateful for the gifts of this year-end fundraiser and the ability to further serve our teens, we know that challenges lay ahead in theses uncertain economic times. We need your continued support to continue to provide our services, whether it's making a donation, volunteering, or just helping to spread the word by "liking" us on Facebook or forwarding this e-newsletter to a friend (Click here to read the full message).
In gratitude for all your support,
Joy S. Grady

Improving the health, safety, and well being for adolescents and young adults is one of the new goals for Healthy People 2020.
Although adolescence and young adulthood are generally healthy times of life, several important public health and social problems either peak or start during these years. The behavioral patterns established during these developmental periods help determine young people's current health status and their risk for developing chronic diseases in adulthood.
For three decades Healthy People has provided science-based, 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans.

WHAT is proud to announce that it was recently the recipient of a $10,000 unrestricted cash award for its exemplary performance and results in using technology - specifically, in its successful implementation of an electronic health record system covering all four delivery sites in New Hanover County - to improve effectiveness, safety and efficiency, and to further the mission of the organization in serving adolescents and young adults.
This award was made possible by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation Community TIEs Awards Program in partnership with North Carolina School Community Health Alliance (NCSCHA). Three school-based health centers received awards in three categories: Technology, Innovation, and Evaluation at the December 2010 NCSCHA Annual Conference.
For more information: http://www.bcbsncfoundation.org/community-impact/community-ties/ and http://ncscha.org/news.php.
WHAT is also proud to announce a recent grant award in the amount of $125,000 - the maximum total grant award for a solo-organization grant award - from the NC Office of Rural Health and Community Care's (ORHCC) Community Health Grant program. ORHCC awarded between 7 to 9 new program grants this year statewide.
Thank you!

Health Education and Outreach

North Carolina's 2010 health report card: Thanks to the efforts of advocacy groups like Question Why, North Carolina tobacco education efforts are rated among the top third in the country. But nutrition/physical activity education still scores abysmally low. (For more information click here).
Fortunately, WHAT has programs like Energize, an after school program which combines group exercise and nutrition advice, and our own registered dietitian on staff to help combat this epidemic. Hopefully, this score will encourage more organizations to join us in the fight against obesity. 
Contributing to the success of tobacco education in our state, Question Why youth, Lindsay Jordan, wrote a letter to the editor that was featured in the Bladen Journal. Check it out here.
She also had a letter published in the Cartaret News-Times.Click here to read it.
Great work Lindsay!!!
