Clinics : Is Florida 's Largest Medical Reuse Organization

Wide reaching, nurses significantly outnumbered physicians as providers of health care often having utmost vast reach remoteness to underserved communities. Having personally lived in one of the underserved communities in my hometown Western Africa before moving to the United States of America and my life calling to be a nurse from a young age with the deep desire to make a difference. I plan to contribute and continue to contribute immensely to the underserved communities by delivering quality health care to remote regions around the world. I do volunteer service at several clinics in the Atlanta area with many well-known Emory physicians that care for homeless and underserved populations, these volunteer experiences provide me with opportunities and fulfillment to develop added headship skill and experience to meet my daily patients, needs.

Hospital waste is one of the world’s growing problems. Hospitals on average produce 29 pounds of waste per staffed bed in just one day (2016). One of the reasons for medical waste is that a large amount disposable products used for sanitary reasons such as drapes, basins, and sponges (Conrardy J et al, 2009). However, new methods using reusable products in operating rooms have provided a means to decrease the regulated medical waste generated by an average of 65% (Conrardy J et al, 2009). Even if the hospital bureaucracy is unconcerned with the environment. These changes reduce the cost of waste disposal (Conrardy J et al, 2009). On the social side of progress, nonprofits like Practice Greenhealth provide sources for environmental solutions for the health care sector. At the hospital’s request, they can send information packets to help inform hospital staff on more environmental purchases such as the “Less Waste member-only toolkit”

Per the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, from September 2009-September 2010, over 5 million Americans volunteered in the healthcare field. Similarly, a study done in 2004 stated that an average sized hospital, with approximately 450 beds, contributed an average of 70,515 hours to the hospital. This is the work of 42 clerical employees, thus saving the hospital approximately $1,260,000 a year. At Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, Texas, [number] volunteers, who are anywhere from ages 14 to “I stopped counting with the Beatles”, provided [number] hours over the Odessa community and saved the hospital administration [$$$] in the last year alone. Medical Center Hospital also has the volunteers operate a fundraising popcorn stand.

During the 1950s, Florida Hospital transformed its two story farm house to a structure that was able to care for 160 patients. They were able to make improvements to the facility, such as air conditioning, that allowed for year round care to patients. With each purchase of new facilities in the decades to follow, Florida Hospital has grown to over 20 hospitals large, providing services to many people who live in Central Florida and the surrounding areas. This has allowed the network to include many leaders in their respective fields to offer care to patients in many different specialized areas.

Nonprofit organizations have become the interest of many financial investigations over the last twenty years. One firm that found themselves on the wrong end of media scrutiny is Helping Hospitalized Veterans also known as HHV. Helping Hospitalized Veteran’s mission is to help veterans who have been hospitalized rehab from their injuries quicker. This mission is accomplished by making craft kits for veterans to enjoy and take their minds off their current situation. The mission helps recovering veterans in two ways, first the actual act of using impacted muscle groups to make the specialized crafts help aid with manual dexterity. Also Veterans have their minds stimulated while working on the various crafts provided by HHV.

West Florida Regional Medical Center (WFRMC) located on the north side of Pensacola, Florida competed strongly with sacred heart and Baptist hospitals for patients.

Over the past seven years as a clinical nurse on the McKeen Pavilion (the medical-surgical amenities unit at New York Presbyterian/Columbia Medical Center), I have committed to excelling in a clinical bedside capacity, as well as a member of the NYP community. This combination has allowed me to be a true advocate for my patients, their families, and my colleagues. The unit has afforded me a tremendous amount of hands on nursing experience, as

Most people do not like the word “donation” unless it is around the holidays and they are in that spirit. Because of pan-handler scams and spam emails we get from a “Prince of Nigeria”, our minds tend to think that the organization seeking our money has a hidden agenda or alternative motive to the cause. No, what I am suggesting is an open and honest market to help those that need the help for their medical bill. Imagine if a branch of a clothing market in every state decided to donate 20% of their local earnings to people within the state to help them get on track? Now, I am not suggesting every department store in the nation jump on this idea (however, I do think it is a good idea to use during that holiday season), but maybe taking it to a smaller

In the maximization of its impact in the community, McKesson has aligned its signature volunteer programs with the funding area of Company’s foundation.

The McKesson Company has community days, which is the symbol of yearly all-employee volunteering event.
