Through partnerships with community agencies, clinics and churches, the program also provides opportunities to socialize, be with peers and improve family relationships. Services include health education and emotional support, health care management, health assessments, observation and referrals into care. Services are provided at four church locations and a homeless facility. In fiscal year 2014, we provided Parish Nurse services to 5,326 clients. We are currently expanding this program and are seeking partnerships with nurses who provide similar services in their faith communities.

As a result, 159 classroom trainings and healthy lifestyle tools were provided to 391 teachers and 3,745 students and parents in fiscal year 2014. The Pilates for Girls program aims to improve the mental and physical health of female students and their teachers. MELT (myofascial energetic length technique) classes were also provided to 274 school faculty members, parents and seniors. MELT enhances body awareness, rehydrates connective tissue, decreases stuck stress that accumulates from daily living and returns the body to a more ideal state. Growing Healthy Kids also guided schools in planting 83 on-site produce gardens that were cultivated and harvested by students. This experience gave students, their families and school communities new attitudes toward food, nutrition, the earth, green programs and sustainability.

Partners in Breast Health The Partners in Breast Health (PIBH) program aims to increase access to breast health services in underserved communities throughout Broward County. The goal is to save lives by reducing barriers and providing education and early detection. Partner community health agencies, federally qualified health centers and outreach workers give referrals to the program, and women are assessed for program eligibility. At an appointment, a physician and/or an advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP) may provide one-on-one education, general health assessments, a clinical breast exam and a mammogram referral for women ages 40 and older (or for younger women with symptoms of breast cancer). Follow-up care assists patients with diagnostics, care and treatment. Special needs are often met via the hospital’s financial assistance program. PIBH receives private and grant funding for screening and diagnostic services. In fiscal year 2014, PIBH provided 1,253 screenings and diagnostic services (mammograms, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] tests and biopsies).

Diabetes: Chronic Disease Management Encouraging individuals and their health care providers to use preventive health services, such as disease self-management, chronic disease management, and participation in primary medical homes are key components in helping our community remain healthy. During this past year and a half, Holy Cross Hospital had a dedicated nurse provide outreach education to clients with diabetes in our community. A lack of understanding about diabetes (and related diagnoses) often contributes to hospital admission, readmissions and frequent visits to the emergency room. The Diabetic Nurse Educator gives health information to people with diabetes, their families and caregivers, paying special attention to health literacy and cultural and linguistic appropriateness. Understanding how to take control of diabetes empowers our community members to take control of their health and future. In fiscal year 2014, our diabetes care included: » Lifestyle coaching: 116 people » Group education: 74 people » Blood sugar, total blood cholesterol and A1c screenings: 285 November 954-771-8000 www.holy-cross.com sunday 1 monday 2 tuesdaywednesday 3 15 friday saturday 5 6 7 11 12 13 14 Veterans Day Time Out for Women Lecture, 6–7 p.m. RSVP by calling 954-351-7804. 18 19 20 21 26 27 28 Dinner with the Doctor, 4–5 p.m. RSVP by calling 954-351-5886.

HIV and Hepatitis C Testing Since 2008, Holy Cross Hospital has provided easy access to rapid HIV testing. In 2014, we were able to add access to rapid hepatitis C testing for our community. Testing services are located at targeted outreach sites and aboard the Mobile Health Unit. All clients are given pre- and posttest counseling, and those people confirmed to be positive are directed to appropriate care and treatment. In addition to the HIV and hepatitis tests, clients are offered blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol screenings.
