A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR FUNDERS: ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION AND CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS FOUNDATION.CPHE MINI-GRANT HIGHLIGHTS FOR COMMUNITY PROJECTSTHE CPHE MINI-GRANTS HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO COMMUNITIES FROM VARIOUS SITES. RECENTLY, A PROPOSAL WAS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW. IT IS A VERY INTRIGUING PROPOSAL THAT WILL GO THROUGH THE REVIEW PROCESS. OUR OAKLAND CPHE IS ALSO INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL ON BEHALF OF LA CLINICA; CONTINGENT UPON FUNDING; ONCE SUBMITTED, IT WILL ALSO GO THROUGH THE REVIEW PROCESS.ALBUQUERQUE CPHE. CENTRO SAVILA, IS A COMMUNITY-ROOTED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY INFORMED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES IN ALBUQUERQUE'S SOUTH VALLEY AND INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT.THEY ARE PROPOSING TO WORK WITH YOUTH (AGES 15-20) DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY GAPS IN NEW MEXICO'S HEALTHCARE SAFETY NET BY PROVIDING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY BUILDING AND OPPORTUNITIES TO DIRECTLY ADVOCATE FOR CHANGES THAT WOULD BENEFIT THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY. THE GOAL WOULD BE TO PREPARE AND SUPPORT YOUTH LEADERS TO ADVOCATE DURING THE UPCOMING 2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND TO BUILD ONGOING LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR BIPOC YOUTH TO ADVOCATE FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE COVERAGE IN NEW MEXICO. 243259 GATEWAYS TRAVEL PROGRAM:WHILE THE GATEWAYS TEAM FACED CHALLENGES IN MAINTAINING STABILITY THROUGHOUT 2024, THE ADDITION OF GISELE COUTIN MARIE IN JULY HAS GRADUALLY IMPROVED THIS SITUATION AND THE PROGRAM'S OVERALL EFFICIENCY. THIS PROGRAM CONTINUES TO BE PROMISING AND TO ENGAGE UNIVERSITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN SPONSORING DELEGATIONS TO CUBA WITH A VIEW TO FOSTERING COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS.IMPORTANT UPCOMING STEPS INCLUDE BETTER FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES WITH ORGANIZERS AND MEDICC REPRESENTATIVES FROM PAST TRIPS, HEIGHTENING THE PROGRAM'S VISIBILITY THROUGH MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA, AND INCREASING HUMAN RESOURCES SUPPORT FOR THE TEAM IN CUBA.TO DATE IN 2024, MEDICC GATEWAYS HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED FIVE TRIPS, WITH ONE FULL DELEGATION AND ONE INDIVIDUAL TRIP SCHEDULED THROUGH YEAR'S END. UNFORTUNATELY, TWO TRIPS WERE CANCELED DUE TO LOW ENROLLMENT, AND A THIRD BECAUSE THE ORGANIZER FELL ILL. LOOKING AHEAD, WE HAVE SEVEN MORE TRIPS PLANNED THUS FAR IN 2025. 238068 11657 353054 MD PIPELINE TO COMMUNITY SERVICE: IN 2024, MEDICC RECEIVED A SMALL GRANT TOTALING $20,000 FROM THE LOUIS AND ANNE ABRONS FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT PROGRAM AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. MEDICC'S MD PIPELINE TO COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM, A UNIQUE SET OF COMPONENTS DESIGNED TO DIVERSIFY THE POPULATION OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS IN THE US IS AN IMPORTANT STRATEGY IN ADDRESSING HEALTH INEQUITIES AND INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IN OUR COUNTRY. A SPECIAL GROUP OF US STUDENTS AND GRADUATES, MOST OF WHOM ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN OR LATINO AND FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, ARE AWARDED FULL SCHOLARSHIPS BY CUBA'S LATIN AMERICAN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (ELAM), BUT THEN FACE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL AND SYSTEMIC HURDLES IN ACHIEVING THEIR OBJECTIVE OF PRACTICING IN UNDER-RESOURCED AREAS IN THE US. NONETHELESS, OVER 250 ELAM GRADUATES ARE NOW IN RESIDENCY OR PRACTICE AND ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE ANSWER TO ONGOING PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE DEFICITS.MNISI SCHOLARSHIP - THE THABO MNISI SCHOLARSHIP DEFRAYS THE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL BURDEN OF PREPARING FOR AND TAKING THE LICENSING EXAMS REQUIRED FOR BECOMING A PHYSICIAN IN THE US. THE SCHOLARSHIP HELPS WITH TEST PREPARATION MATERIALS, MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, EXAM FEES, AND OTHER RESOURCES. THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF THESE HURDLES ONLY CONTINUES TO GROW, WITH TYPICAL PREP AND EXAM FEES NOW AT APPROXIMATELY $5,000-$7,000 PER STUDENT OVER SEVERAL YEARS, AND MORE FUNDING TO SUPPORT ELAM STUDENTS' EXAM COSTS IS NEEDED.THIS YEAR, MEDICC ALLOTTED $10,000 TO THE SCHOLARSHIP AND PROVIDED 23 US ELAM STUDENTS AND GRADUATES (FOR REFERENCE, THERE ARE 35 CURRENT STUDENTS), WITH FUNDING. THIS YEAR, DUE TO LIMITED FUNDING, WE FOCUSED ON FUNDING ONLY THE NEXT STEP IN A STUDENT'S JOURNEY. IN TOTAL, WE DISTRIBUTED EQUIVALENT TO $9,274 WORTH OF FUNDS. ADDITIONAL FUNDS NOT YET SPENT ARE SAVED IN CASE OF STUDENT EMERGENCIES OR EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. ADDITIONALLY, WE AWARDED 58 NBMES (NBMES ARE TEST PREPARATION) WHICH EQUATES TO $3,480 TOTAL. MEDICC RECEIVES AN IN KIND DONATION EACH YEAR OF ABOUT 75 NBMES DIRECTLY FROM THE NBME ITSELF TO PROVIDE TO STUDENTS. BECAUSE THE NBMES ARE DONATED IN-KIND, THEIR VALUE IS IN ADDITION TO THE $10,000 MEDICC ALLOTTED TO THE MNISI SCHOLARSHIP THIS YEAR.COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS SUMMER ROTATIONS - PROVIDES US ELAM STUDENTS AND GRADUATES WITH CLINICAL ROTATIONS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH SETTINGS NATIONWIDE, A PREREQUISITE FOR ADMISSION TO POST- GRADUATE TRAINING AND ULTIMATELY TO CLINICAL PRACTICE IN THE US. IN 2023, MEDICC WAS ABLE TO ARRANGE 5 ROTATIONS NATIONWIDE AND SECURE PARTNERSHIPS WITH NEW SITES. CURRENTLY, MEDICC DOES NOT ARRANGE SITES FOR STUDENTS AND INSTEAD ACCEPTS PROPOSALS FROM STUDENTS AND THEN VETS SITES. THIS YEAR, MEDICC ALLOTTED $3,500 TO COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS, AND WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO TWO STUDENTS. SO FAR, MEDICC HAS FUNDED ONE STUDENT AT $2,000. ONE OTHER STUDENT APPLIED, BUT WILL BE COMPLETING HER ROTATION VIRTUALLY SO IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING.PATHWAYS TO RESIDENCY - OUR PATHWAYS TO RESIDENCY COMPONENT SUPPORTS US ELAM GRADUATES THROUGH THE RESIDENCY APPLICATION AND MATCHING PROCESS, AND PREPARES THE MORE ADVANCED STUDENTS AS WELL. IN PREVIOUS YEARS, MEDICC HAS WORKED WITH RECENT GRADUATES TO SUPPORT CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE (AAFP, FMEC, AND ANY OTHER CONFERENCES IDENTIFIED BY GRADS AS IMPORTANT FOR THEM) AND SUPPORTED STEADY PROGRESS THROUGH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, SOME NEW IN 2023, FOR FOREIGN MEDICAL GRADUATES TO QUALIFY FOR THE MATCH.THIS YEAR, MEDICC ALLOTTED $500 TO PATHWAYS TO RESIDENCY AND WILL MAINLY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH CONFERENCE REGISTRATION FEES FOR STUDENTS. STUDENTS DO NOT FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR THIS FUNDING, RATHER THEY SUBMIT FUNDING REQUESTS DIRECTLY TO MEDICC WHICH MEDICC FULFILLS ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. SO FAR THIS YEAR, MEDICC HAS NOT HAD ANY APPLICATIONS FOR THIS FUNDING. 522383 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY CA GA X X X JERRONTAY FOSTER 6789048092 3810 BRANDEIS WAY DECATUR GA 30034 GAIL REED BOARD CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ARNOLD PERKINS VICE-CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RALPH RIVERA-GUTIERREZ SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL ERWIN CHAIR, FINANCE/DEVELOPMENT COMM 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CARMEN NEVAREZ DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARSHA BROUSSARD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANGELA GARCIA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD STREIFFER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA BURROUGHS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TOMAS A MAGANA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CRISTINA RABADAN-DIEHL DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JERRONTAY FOSTER CFO 40.00 X 63000 0 0 C WILLIAM KECK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 63000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 283937 283937 CONSULTING FEES 900099 353054 353054 353054 636991 353054 0 0 X 11657 11657 63000 48510 8190 6300 82972 63888 10787 8297 10579 7934 2645 11640 8730 2910 6211 1863 4037 311 70071 66207 3864 1999 1999 5590 4013 1577 2019 1615 404 291717 290237 1480 2994 2096 898 SUPPORT FOR THE CUBAN P 7004 7004 FILM DISSEMINATION 5000 4250 750 TELEPHONE & INTERNET 3504 2628 876 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 1456 1165 291 702 586 116 578115 522383 36960 18772 555911 624044 30252 9136 19988 19988 29685 29685 0 0 106408 112491 712559 765659 19498 15323 191725 190116 211223 205439 X 366178 401367 135158 158853 501336 560220 712559 765659 X 58876 8 X 0 0 0 X 368892 361474 378854 317407 283937 1710564 368892 361474 378854 317407 283937 1710564 1067168 643396 163 58 665 886 1711450 631673 0.37590 0.31220 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 25586 25586 0 4099 4099 0 0 DEPOSITS AND OTHER ASSETS 112491 112491 DEFERRED COMPENSATION 56572 SBA LOAN 133544 190116 1 SCHOLARSHIPS 18 11657 FMV PART I, LINE 2: MEDICC REQUIRES THE STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE TO USE TESTING SITES.
