Waiting to raise funds for dialysis instead??😔 Why not support for early detection to save a life? Prevention they say is better than cure!! Kindly send donations to ID (MTN): 936581 Name: Health Bloom Organization #savealife #donatenow #HBO #donatetoday #sdg3 #charity #support #giving #healthbloomorganization #renaldisease

Today is #GivingTuesday, which is a time that we seek to give back and support local organizations that are driving positive change within our communities. However, there are other ways we can "give" that don't specifically require a financial donation... 1.) Make a donation of nonperishable food items, unopened toys, or hygiene products to a local organization that's supporting families in need this Holiday Season. It's an easy way to bring joy to those in need of it the most, and if it's led by a localized non-profit, you can even receive a tax credit that can be written off at the end of the fiscal year. Wilson County has multiple locations who are supporting those in need this Holiday Season, including RC3 (see attached). 2.) Give your time to support organizations who are making positive changes within your community. While financial compensation does make a difference, there's nothing more valuable than your time and support. 3.) Give the gift of life by carrying Naloxone (Narcan). The training takes 15 minutes and all doses are distributed free of charge (in Wilson County) thanks to various collaborative partnerships led by our local Health Department. Finally, if your heart is set on giving to a local non-profit, please consider the Wilson County Substance Prevention Coalition in support of our efforts to battle the disease of addiction within Wilson County. This #GivingTuesday, whether it be financial or time related, please consider supporting agencies who are actively working to make our communities a safer, healthier, and overall better place for all of us to call home.

We need your help to support and sustain our ambitions of becoming a 24/7 service. We only respond to the region's most ill and injured patients, so when you see our blue lights illuminating from a distance, you know someone is in urgent need of our care. You could save someone's life when you donate towards our blue light bar. Our blue light bar alerts the general public to move aside and give way, as our specially trained paramedics can travel over 100mph to get to a patient in need. Speed, in these situations, can mean the difference between life and death - the sooner our teams get to a patient, the sooner they are able to perform life-saving interventions by the roadside. Last year, our cars were deployed and our blue lights activated a staggering 745 times - they are simply a necessity on our cars. Help to fund our blue lights to ensure we are ready to go 24/7 across the region: https://lnkd.in/d7wpWwxe #Charity #AirAmbulace

Nonprofit Hospitals Offer Less Charity Care Despite Rising Profits 🏥📈 From 2012 to 2019, profits increased from $43.01 million to $58.61 million for nonprofit hospitals, while charity care spending fell from $6.65 million to $6.36 million. 😕 Are they prioritizing their pockets over patients? 🤔 It's time to hold them accountable! #Healthcare #NonprofitHospitals #CharityCare #Profits #PatientCare #Transparency #Accountability #CommunityHealth #GiveBack #HealthcareIndustry #GetInformed #MakeADifference #SpeakUp #HealthcareForAll #RisingProfits #cathodehealthcare #medicalbilling

EI’LL BE UP ALL NIGHT FOR WA FAMILIES WITH SICK KIDS This year, I will be walking in an overnight marathon. It won't be easy, but I am determined to push through every step, knowing that the difficulties I face during this marathon are nothing compared to the immense challenges families with sick kids experience. I’m raising funds for RMHC to support families with sick kids. I want to support those who have kids with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which my child has. EDS is a disorder that affects your connective tissues — primarily your skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Vascular and organ rupture are the most feared and fatal complications of some forms of EDS. Unfortunately, it is a life long condition that requires support of multiple specialists and doctors. It is an often misunderstood condition, diagnosis can be difficult and too often it is labelled as a factitious disorder, or “all in your head”. Kids can suffer from constant dislocations of joints and often require pain management to get through each day. Help me raise funds by donating to the link below. #UAN2024 #UpAllNight2024

What exactly are BRETS, the innovative pajamas Bret Bigelow Foundation is making for metro-Detroit children who face terminal and chronic illnesses that frequently leave them hospitalized? When most children are admitted to a hospital, they're given bed gowns which can leave them feeling vulnerable and exposed. Our pajamas are designed with snaps in the seams to allow medical staff to attend to the patient while remaining fully clothed. The tops have a v-shaped neck to accommodate medical instruments as well as an opening on the chest for cancer ports or other medical wires or tubes. The bottoms have buttons on the waistline to adjust for any weight changes, and have elastic so the patient is comfortable lying down or sitting up.

Quality of life refers to overall well-being and satisfaction with life. In palliative care, improving the quality of life of an individual living with a serious illness is a primary goal. Symptom management is vital, but palliative care also takes into account physical, emotional, and social well-being. #hospice #healthcare #dignityindying #HPM #welcome #fundraiser #donations #charity #support
