Who (i.e. local health department, local and national partners, etc.) is involved in developing, supporting, or leading the program, initiative or activity? Where is it taking place? Why is this relevant to your local community/mrc unit? (Maximum 300 words): * The High School JMRC initiative is based on the Medical Professions program, which teaches our student members about all aspects of health, first aid, and nursing skills. Our goal is to strengthen the health of our community by reaching out through health fairs, Teddy Bear clinics, tutoring opportunities and prenatal classes. Our partners are School District, Baptist Outreach, Sherwood Nursing Home, Lakewood Nursing Home, Veteran s Administration and Department. The events take place in various places within the city of, including our school, elementary schools, churches, and libraries. In all these locations, our student members can use their training to improve the health of our community. Describe the goals of your project. What are the measurable objectives for your project? (Maximum 300 words): * The goal of our initiative is to improve the health of the people in our community and train our students to be community aware. Each year we work toward increasing the number of people we encounter. Teddy Bear Clinic is an annual project taken to local elementary schools and the local public library. The student members design and teach lessons for the kindergarten students focused on healthy lifestyles. They teach good nutrition using MyPlate.gov and plastic food items allowing children to practice designing a healthy plate. They demonstrate exercises for healthy heart lessons and teach proper hand washing to prevent the spread of infections. The students use a Mr. Gross Mouth model and a large tooth brush to teach dental care and give away free toothbrushes. Our measurable goal for this project is to teach 180 children each year. In assisting with the health fairs sponsored by Baptist outreach and the mass flu clinic sponsored by NLR Department, our goal is to encounter at least 400 people each year. Our prenatal class is a new project, designed to educate pregnant teenagers in the NLRSD. Our goal with this project is to help these teen moms through a difficult situation and improve their graduation rate. Our measurable goal for this project is high school graduation for each participant.in our after school tutoring project we have our student members working with 7 elementary school students twice a week to improve overall student performance. Who is the target audience for your project? How are the MRC Volunteers involved? (Maximum 200 words): * Our target audience for the health fairs is primarily senior citizens. Our student members, who are CNA trained, help with height, weight and blood pressures. At the Teddy Bear Clinics and the tutoring project, our target audience is elementary school children. Our student members plan and deliver the lessons. Our target audience for the prenatal class is pregnant teenagers. Registered Nurses from Baptist plan and teach these classes. They use our facility and our student members advertise discreetly by inviting people who fit our target audience. We currently have 4 students participating.

4 Describe the benefits and impacts your program, initiative, or activity will have on your community and/or participants. What are the expected measurable outcomes? (Maximum 200 words): * The NLRHS JMRC initiative is designed to benefit our community by bringing information to community members which will improve their overall health. The initiative is a benefit to our student members by giving them a chance to teach what they have learned and apply their training in a real world setting. It, also, gives the student members community service hours, which could help them with scholarships. Measurable outcomes are the number of people in our community encountered and the number of student members involved in community service. Describe what makes your program, initiative, or activity innovative. (Maximum 200 words) : * Our initiative in innovative in that our student members are using their training from the Medical Professions program to give back to their community. They are being trained and certified in First Aid/CPR, CNA, and Pharmacy Technology. The training gives them a unique opportunity to work with nurses and other medical professionals at health fairs. It gives them the opportunity to teach what they have learned to children at Teddy Bear Clinics. Our school is the only school in Pulaski County, working with Baptist Outreach, to offer a prenatal class. We are also the only school participating in the NLR mass flu clinic. Our students participate in the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) walk, where they do face painting, take blood pressure readings, and raise awareness for mental health. Work Plan: Implementation plans: Describe how the project will be carried out and how the MRC Volunteers are engaged in the process. You should list any specific steps you will take. (Maximum 200 words) : * For our health fairs, student members are trained on taking blood pressures, blood glucose, and height and weight. They will also be trained in Incident Command Structure so they will understand chain-of-command at health fairs and PODs, such as the mass flu clinic. In these community service opportunities, the student members will be under the direction of the sponsoring organization. We offer health screenings at various school functions as well, where they will be under the direction of the Medical Professions Instructors. For our Teddy Bear Clinics, student members choose health related subjects they want to teach. These subjects include, but are not restricted to: healthy heart, good nutrition, hand washing, and prescription drug safety. The student members write a lesson plan, collect props for their lessons, and plan for hand-outs and free items such as tooth brushes. On the clinic day, the student members must have everything organized and ready to set up quickly, so they can teach the kindergarten students as they move from one station to the next. The prenatal class is planned and taught by Registered Nurses from Baptist Outreach. They use our facility and some of the Medical Professions equipment. Our student members provide discrete advertising. Our tutoring program involves student members working after school and utilizes teaching manipulatives such as blocks and flashcards. Volunteer work inside the nursing homes is under the direction of the Medical Professions Instructors. Students must be trained in CPR/First Aid. Volunteer work inside the VA Hospital is under the direction of the Volunteer Director for Veterans Affairs. List your project timeline. (Maximum 200 words): * Our timeline runs from August to June, the length of the school year. We prepare for each community service event as soon as we are notified. What are your sustainability plans for your project? (Maximum 200 words): * We generally sustain our projects on a minimum budget relying heavily on donations of items from the community and our students. This has worked well enough in the past, but funds from the competitive grant will enable us to buy new equipment and supplies to improve our initiative and allow our student members to expand our community outreach.
