A mosaic features small elements that are placed together to make a beautiful image or design. It is the same concept at Riverside Community Health Foundation. We have 42 employees, 21 board members, over 75 partnerships, and over 100 volunteers who come together to make a masterpiece of care and quality. In 2015, the Riverside Community Health Foundation, together in partnership, continued to focus on supporting the work of safety-net providers, programs of health education and outreach to provide primary care, vision, behavioral health services, oral health care, health coalitions and other vital healthcare information to low-income Riverside residents. The Foundation also goes beyond grant-making – with staff providing services, health education and serving on supporting coalitions that are working together to share ideas and resources to make a greater impact than they might alone. The Foundation awarded $1,584,613 in grants to 27 non-profit organizations. Eastside Health Center provided 19,706 patient visits; Arlanza Family Health Center provided 25,909 patient visits; Miles of Smiles Dental Program provided oral health services at 37 elementary schools to 24,046 at-risk children; Health Education Programs provided 41,969 health interventions through seminars and classes; Teen Health Programs provided 12,784 interventions and all other outreach, health fairs and health education reached 37,389 interventions. A hallmark of our work has been our ability to bring people and organizations together. Working together, we will help frame the most pressing issues, bring understanding to the problems, and craft innovative solutions that make sense and can be implemented together. Life Henry Ford stated, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” We know that we could not do any of our work in isolation. We thank our dedicated Board of Directors, Foundation staff, community advisories, committees, volunteers, donors, as well as our residents and all our partners throughout the Riverside area for believing and supporting our mission and the work that we all do together.

Clinical Health Services

Miles of Smiles Miles of Smiles is designed to help elementary students receive access to proper oral healthcare. The program travels to more than 40 local elementary schools across 3 districts each school-year to provide dental education, screenings, and sealant placement. During the 2014/2015 school year, the program helped to educate 24,278 students and provided more than 13,800 screenings. In total, 10,658 free sealants were placed and each of those sealants help to reduce tooth decay by more than 70 percent. Not only is the program ensuring our local children have access to proper dental care, but it’s easing the financial burden that dental work, caused by cavities and other tooth decay problems, has on area families – now that’s something to smile about!

Supporting Community Health Together Part of the Riverside Community Health Foundation’s mission is working to increase access to affordable, quality care for Riverside’s uninsured and underinsured. With nearly 25% of people under 65 in Riverside living without health insurance, providing access to quality care is a critical task that cannot be achieved alone. That is why the Foundation has entrusted Borrego Health for the past four years to operate two lowcost clinics that serve as a crucial component in Riverside’s health safety net.

While Miles of Smiles was created as a program to benefit elementary school students, the Foundation’s mission is to expand health access to all. That’s why Miles of Smiles has been providing health education and screenings for more than 13 years to preschoolers in Riverside and Jurupa school districts.

Borrego Health is a private non-profit 501 (c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center operating in San Diego and Riverside counties. We chose Borrego Health because of their long standing reputation of working with the community to bring a high-level of comprehensive and compassionate primary healthcare to residents. In 2015, with the continual success of Borrego Health’s management, the clinics were able to offer extended hours in the evening and on Saturdays.

However, Miles of Smiles doesn’t stop there... Golden Smiles was piloted in the summer of 2015 to give our senior community dental health education and screenings as well. Presentations were given at Eddie Dee Senior Center and Janet Goeske Center. A total of 40 seniors were screened and 97 were educated. As the Foundation continues to grow, so do our partnerships in helping us expand our programs to all members of our community.

Community Clinics With Borrego Health, the medical operators of our clinics, we continue to see a strong growth in all aspects of our clinic and community services. In 2015, the clinics were a place to receive your annual check up, have your children’s teeth examined, a safe space to talk about teen health, a meeting space for local leaders, residents, and professionals to discuss ways to improve the health of their community, a place to bring family for health fairs, fun, games, and so much more. In 2015 Eastside Health Center saw 19,067 patients. In order to reach more residents we will be expanding the Eastside Health Center. This project will allow the clinic to nearly double its capacity. Expanding the Eastside Health Center will allow an increase in health education classes that promote healthy eating, active living and healthy behaviors. The Arlanza Family Health Center saw 19,019 patients in 2015. Our Arlanza clinic also provides vision, behavioral health and x-ray services, which we will also be offered at our Eastside Health Center upon completion of the planned expansion. Even with such growth, our clinics’ first priority continues to be the communities they serve. An OB/GYN and a Pediatrician are on staff at both clinics; cardiology services are offered once a month for our patients. In 2015, both clinics extended their hours during the week and on Saturdays.

Health in Motion Health In Motion is a 38ft mobile unit that works to provide a more consistent form of medical care to our homeless population by bringing services to the streets. The vehicle, which is operated by Health to Hope Clinics, provides primary and preventative care, screenings, chronic disease management services, and prescription refills. While Health in Motion is a traveling healthcare provider, the population they serve have come to rely on their services and regular site visits for everything from diabetes to high blood pressure to asthma. Various families staying at local shelters look to Health in Motion as a stable form of medical care and as a place that can provide health screenings for everyone in the family.

A Path to Wellness The path of healing is often a long, arduous and complicated one. It is a path wrought with many questions, setbacks and fears. For the 1 in 8 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, this path can become a path to self-discovery, but it is a path these women cannot discover on their own. In 2015, The Pink Ribbon Place hosted its very first Survivor Wellness Retreat in an effort to address the strain of breast cancer both mentally and physically (outside of standard medical treatments) and focusing on healing the mind, body, and spirit. “Over the last 6 years, I had struggled with what it really meant to live as a breast cancer survivor. Yes, I had survived the treatments and am cancer-free, but I no longer felt like the same woman,” shared Kathie Westley, Chair of The Pink Ribbon Place’s Professionals Panel Committee. “For better or for worse, breast cancer had changed me, and it took me many years to realize how to truly ‘heal’ my soul.” “Wellness is a holistic concept that takes into account the ‘whole person’ and not just the vital signs or physical aspects of their health. The retreat

was designed by our advisory committee (comprised of many breast cancer survivors) to help explore ways for a woman to balance her mind, body, emotions and spirit,” explained Anna Holbrook, Director of The Pink Ribbon Place. The event was held in the gorgeous Lakeside House at Fairmount Park on a beautiful October afternoon where 32 women gathered around in a circle. These strangers all had something in common – they were all breast cancer survivors joined together by The Pink Ribbon Place, learning to relax, release, and reconnect with themselves and one another. Through inspirational stories, education, support and tears, these ladies shared their space, held each other’s hands, shared their stories, and learned from each other. “[The Retreat] was so inspirational…” recalled Monica Price, a retreat attendee. “I remembered thinking ‘Wow. She went through the same thing that I did, she had the same emotions I do, and yet… she made it out okay.’ It gave me so much hope.”

Project S.H.A.R.P. (Senior Health Advocacy, Revitalization, & Promotion)

Project S.H.A.R.P. provides health education to those 55 and older. Nearly 25% of Riverside County’s population is comprised of individuals in this age range. In the past 2 years, physical inactivity in seniors has increased 29% from 21.3% to 27.4% nationwide. Physical activity not only helps seniors keep their bodies fit and healthy but also helps keep their minds healthy. Physical activity in the form of group exercises such as Tai Chi or Aqua Zumba can help stave off depression, a behavioral issue that seniors are at a high risk of developing . The Riverside Community Health Foundation together with Janet Goeske Senior Center, La Sierra Senior Center, Eddie Dee Smith Senior Center, and Dales Senior Center and other senior facilities provide Riverside seniors with free health education and exercise classes tailored to meet their needs. Each nutrition class includes a healthy recipe demo so that seniors have hands-on nutrition experience.

Health Seminars

Thanks to a long-standing partnership with both Riverside Community Hospital and Parkview Community Hospital Medical Center, the Foundation is able to provide bimonthly health seminars that connect the community with leading area physicians in a variety of specialized topics. The seminars provide an opportunity for community members to ask questions about their health as well as learn first hand nutritional and physical health techniques. By providing residents with free health seminars, we not only make health education exciting and engaging, but we also provide a community support system for participants to be a part of throughout their health journey.

The Pink Ribbon Place

Health Fairs

Our three annual health fairs (Arlanza Community Fair, Eastside Community Fair, and Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds Community Fair) remain among our most popular events in the community therefore, in 2015, we added the Casa Blanca Health Fair to our ever-growing events. Over a thousand residents come out for each fair to take advantage of free health screenings, community information booths, family fun, and more. Every year, new residents find out about our fairs and walk away with the tools to make a lasting change in their health and in their lives. The Riverside Community Health Foundation, together with Borrego Health and other supporters, provide screenings at health fairs based on the population’s greatest need and risk of disease. For many Riverside residents, these fairs are a pivotal point in their health education.

The Pink Ribbon Place is Riverside’s only stand-alone breast cancer resource center. The center serves as an American Cancer Society wig-bank, in addition to providing free breast prosthesis, bras, camisoles, and more for women and men battling breast cancer. Counseling sessions, support groups, nutrition and educational classes help round out the services of the center. In addition, the resource center offers a diagnostic program, which provides free and low-cost diagnostic screenings for men and women with breast health concerns under the age of 40.

Project T.R.U.S.T. Promotores/ (Teaching Responsibility, Understanding, Self-Resiliency,Community Outreach Project T.R.U.S.T. and Tolerance) (Teaching Responsibility, Understanding, Self-Resiliency, and Tolerance)

This curriculum provides comprehensive education to help teens overcome the many challenges they face today. This program helps teens achieve wellness by giving them information regarding healthy relationships, nutrition, communication, career development, STI/HIV prevention, and pregnancy prevention. Administrators at John Muir Charter School in Riverside’s Eastside neighborhood added Project T.R.U.S.T. as part of their school curriculum allowing our health educators to teach 2 classes, once a week, at the school. The Solander Center, located at Bryant Park in the Arlanza neighborhood, also opened its doors to the Foundation this past year with the opportunity to teach 2 classes there as well.

Promotores and Community Outreach staff are community members who receive specialized training to provide basic health education in the community without being a professional healthcare worker. Promotores play the roles of advocate, educator, mentor, role model, interpreter, and more to members of the community. In a more intrinsic sense, Promotores are the bridge that connects the community to health professionals and health services that community members can greatly benefit from. In 2015, they provided 22,501 interventions through our free exercise programs alone. New classes were offered including Aqua Zumba to reach all exercise levels and ages.

RUSD Mandated Programming The words “Sex Ed” can elicit memories of dusty VHS tapes and uncomfortable gym coaches for many of us. Thanks to our partnership with the Riverside Unified School District, our Health Educators make those things part of the past. The RUSD Mandated Programming allows time to be carved out at each high school so every freshman in the district can be taught the following three classes: “Drug and Alcohol Awareness,” “Male and Female Reproduction Health,” and “Sexually Transmitted Infection Education.” This past school year, our educators provided 8,025 intervention through this program alone.

Young Men’s Conference

Rappers, attorneys, and high school students came together in 2015 for the 8th Annual Keeping it Real Young Men’s Conference to promote investing in the future of our youth. The mission of the conference is to provide young men with the necessary information, tools, and motivation to overcome barriers and realize their potential. Nearly 200 students from Riverside Unified School District and Jurupa Unified School District were in attendance. Students listened to lectures from local leaders such as Senior Deputy District Attorney Gerry Lopez, Councilman Andy Melendrez, and Adolfo Cruz, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, as well as on-air personality ODM and rapper King Lil G. The goal of the conference is to bring in speakers who can connect with the students on a personal level and who have similar life experiences that will motivate the students to believe that success is possible and see that there are real alternatives to their struggles.

Salud Integral de la Mujer (Comprehensive Women’s Health) Born from the idea to motivate women to make positive changes in their lives, Salud Integral de la Mujer (Comprehensive Women’s Health) has touched hundreds of lives since its launch in 2014. Salud Integral de la Mujer is a seminar conducted in Spanish that aims to teach women how to maintain harmony between their physical, emotional, and mental health. “We wanted to do something different that wasn’t just nutrition and exercise,” said Elia Camarena, CoFounder of the event and Community Outreach Worker (Promotora) at Riverside Community Health Foundation (RCHF). “We cover other areas that can help women to be their better selves and make better decisions.” The seminar takes place every year in May around Mother’s Day. This year the topic was, “Discovering Your Potential”. Participants were asked to write something positive about themselves on a leaf-shaped paper and then announce it to other participants before placing it on a Positivity Tree.

“It’s amazing how much some women struggle to find something positive about themselves. But it’s necessary to see yourself that way,” said Carolina Bojorquez, CoFounder of the event and Community Outreach Worker (Promotora) at RCHF. Salud Integral de la Mujer has grown from 50 to 75 participants in its first two years with the hopes of breaking 100 in 2016. Women who attend the seminar are treated to massages, manicures, self-esteem exercises, and nutrition information as well. “The great thing about an event like this, is the ability to reach and touch women who normally would not be reached on a day-to-day basis. The women impacted are ones who normally do not put themselves first due to taking care of others and also women who only speak Spanish. These women leave the event feeling motivated and encouraged,” shared Carolina.

The two-day seminar, both in English and Spanish, focuses on managing diabetes through healthy eating, regulating blood sugar, working on the emotional aspect of the disease, and more. Presenters at the 2015 seminar included Registered Dietitian Kelly Weiss, Ph.D., Dr. Susan Jung Guzman, and Registered Nurse Amy Brant. There were roughly 100 participants and the majority had diabetes or were a caregiver for someone with diabetes. Participants were also provided the opportunity to check their A1C, which is a common blood test used to diagnose Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes and also gauge how well the patient is managing their diabetes. Executive Chef Brad Martin featured on ABC’s hit show, The Taste, presented a healthy cooking demonstration at the beginning of the seminar. Participants were encouraged to ask Martin questions about cooking with diabetes. Keynote Speaker, Dr. Susan Guzman is a Clinical Psychologist specializing in diabetes and her presentation focused on addressing the emotional aspects of diabetes. Her clinical and research focus areas include overcoming barriers to good management, family issues, and promoting attitudes that support living well with diabetes from diagnosis throughout life. The seminar takes place annually and is hosted by RCDC, which is a group of more than 40 diabetesfocused organizations and businesses that work together to strengthen community programs and services for the prevention and management of diabetes in Riverside and surrounding areas.

Gala In 2015, our Annual Celebration, raised more than $170,000 for the expansion of the Eastside Health Center! The theme was A Night in Madrid. The flowing flamenco music and wine were only surpassed by the flowing donations we received. The Eastside Health Center serves as a crucial component in Riverside’s health safety net by providing services at little to no-cost to those underinsured or not insured. The expansion will allow the clinic to double its capacity and expand its services to include behavioral health. The event which was held in September was attended by more than 550 people and supported by more than 40 local businesses, with the title sponsorships coming from Borrego Health, Parkview Community Hospital Medical Center, and Riverside Community Hospital. Special thank you to our Planning Committee and Teen Challenge of Riverside for their hard work and dedication!

Pink on Parade Breast cancer survivors, families, city employees, horses, and Inland Empire 66ers’ mascot Bernie hit the pavement last year at the Annual Pink on Parade Breast Cancer Awareness Walk to promote breast cancer awareness. More than 600 individuals registered to walk and many were in large teams. Riverside Police Department brought in more than 100 walkers to support the cause. “Being a cancer survivor, I can’t imagine going through cancer and not having insurance so if I can help someone have money for that, that’s what I want to do,” said Karen Deloss, breast cancer survivor. All the proceeds from the event go to The Pink Ribbon Resource Center, which provides free resources for women and families affected by breast cancer. The center provides support groups, individual/family counseling, survivor mentorship, and diagnostic services for the uninsured.

Volunteers efforts combined with the generosity of our donors helped raise nearly $100,000 in 2015! All of the profits from Pink Ribbon Thrift feed directly into The Pink Ribbon Place’s programs and services. The shop also supports efforts of The Pink Ribbon Place by hosting special events for survivors and current clients of the center.

The 2014 Recipient of the Shirley N. Pettis Award

Riverside Community Health Foundation (RCHF) was named the recipient of the 2014 Shirley N. Pettis Award by Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, which was awarded in 2015. The award is given to organizations and individuals for their dedication and distinguished service to children. Riverside Community Health Foundation was specifically recognized for making a “difference in the lives of thousands of children and youth through a number of services, and it has a long-standing commitment to its efforts in supporting programs that promote youth development.” “Since the beginning of our organization, we have strived to put programs in place that help local children build happy, healthy futures,” said Dr. Anderson. “For that work to be recognized with such a distinguished award is a true honor and a humbling experience.”
