The Latest from Lorna

Hey Ryan -

I talked with Doreen @ Grace Med the Monday after our meeting. Doreen is also involved in Kansas Leadership Center so she immediately applauded your efforts. Grace Med does dental outreach but due to the proximity, supports Amber Sellers by providing her with equipment in western Ks. And... Amber is also affiliated with KS leadership center! So here are two phone numbers for those girls.
Doreen @ Grace Med: 316.866.2053
Amber Sellers with GraceMed dental equipment @ 316.204.1769
Again, Amber would probably be your first contact.

Then, I got to visiting with Doreen and asking about the medicine provision that Grace Med offers. She put me in touch with Jonathan Borrego ( jborrego@gracemed.org or at the Grace Med phone # above). Jonathan turned me on to a website: www.needymeds.org

In your health fair (day of service) you could have someone stationed at a net enabled PC and help people by printing coupons off this site or helping them complete the application process. Every drug/drug company has their app embedded in the listing. Very easy to navigate the site. I would encourage you to go on this site and check it out. I was very impressed.

Other activiites we see being done on 'Day of Service' offerings are sports physicals. You may have to work ahead by setting appointments but it gets rave reviews. Also, medical card enrollments.... used to be HealthWave.

Had lunch with KS Leadership Center and Sue Dondlinger does believe that if you come up with a proposal of needs for funding, there would be some grant monies available. Be sure to check with her. SDondlinger@KansasLeadershipCenter.org

Hope you all are progressing toward success.
