For the fourth year in a row, Care Ring has been the recipient of a Community Health & Wellness grant from the @mecklenburgcounty ABC Board. This funding allows us to screen patients both in our Clinic and at our weekly Grier Heights mobile unit for substance abuse concerns, provide case management support, and refer to treatment partners. We are grateful to be able to provide this very important service to our patients. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
FAST FACTS:
-- Almost 21 million Americans have at least 1 addiction, yet only 10% of them receive treatment.
-- Drug overdose deaths have more than tripled since 1990.
-- Alcohol and drug addiction cost the US economy over $600 billion every year.
-- About 20% of Americans who have depression or an anxiety disorder also have a substance use disorder.

Thank you so much to our NC legislators who were able to visit with us today: Senator Rachel Hunt, Senator Joyce Davis Waddell, and Representative Becky Carney. We were pleased to partner with the North Carolina Association of Free & Charitable Clinics and @hopeeastclt to share about our mission and the need for continued funding in the state budget to ensure we can continue to serve the over 41,000 anticipated residents of Mecklenburg County who will not receive coverage under the new Medicaid expansion. Thanks also to Care Ring Board members Carmen Hooker Odom and Dean Cikins for their support and presence today.

💙HAPPY VOLUNTEER MONTH! We appreciate and celebrate all our volunteers! We surprised one of our outstanding volunteers, Judith Wood, with the Governors Volunteer Award! She was among a handful of nominees who won from Mecklenburg County. Judith has been with us since 2016, providing diabetes education every Wednesday to our Clinic patients. She was very touched to be honored in this way, and we were pleased to have her significant contributions recognized by Governor Roy Cooper. For more about Judith, check out the blog post we did about her by visiting the Blog link in our bio. Special thanks to @unitedwaygreaterclt who facilitated the nominations. (Pictured: Clinic staff, Care Ring Medical Director Dr. Kaaren Sailer with Judith Wood, Jennifer Peele with Judith).

Thank you to @unccharlotte's @amwa.uncc
and Dr. Michelle Meggs for collecting menstrual supplies for 50 patients we serve. The students who helped to lead this effort are Krishna Majithia and Kamaria Weatherspoon. On April 11th, Dr. Meggs lead a discussion event on "period poverty," in which our ED @tchernaviam participated as a panelist. Period poverty is inadequate access to menstrual hygiene tools and education, including but not limited to sanitary products, washing facilities and waste management. In a national survey of 1,000 menstruating teens, 1 in 5 struggled to afford period products and 4 in 5 either missed or knew someone who missed class time because they did not have access to period products (source: https://policylab.chop.edu/blog/period-poverty-public-health-crisis-we-dont-talk-about).

Last night in recognition of #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, we hosted a screening of the documentary Aftershock, about the Black maternal mortality crisis. Elected officials and civic leaders Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, PhD, NC Senator Rachel Hunt, US DHHS Director Antrell Tyson, and Mecklenburg County Manager Dena Diorio shared what is being done and proposed from the local to federal level to address the fact that Black women are dying during or within a year of childbirth at 2-3 times the rate of white women. Our 7 panelists from Atrium Health Novant Health Johnson C. Smith University Mecklenburg County Public Health, Desired Doulas, Foundation for Black Philanthropy, and one of our Nurse-Family Partnership graduates shared their expertise and perspectives as well. With over 150 medical professionals and community activists in attendance, it was a powerful evening. WBTV News provided media coverage—link to story soon!

Our two maternal-child health teams, Nurse-Family Partnership and A Guided Journey, had a great training with The Urban Institute for Strengthening Families on Monday. Founder Kelly Little (pictured 2nd from left) and colleague Michael (far right) shared how the teams can empower the fathers and father figures of the children we serve through intentional partnership.
