  • From Peter's Deskby Peter Laverty
    UMC Health System March 2016 From Peter’s Desk by Peter Laverty There are four types of advance directives that I would like talk about this month. You may execute one, or several, depending on your needs and situation. When you make your advance directives share copies with your doctor, your family, and take copies with you to the hospital. Advance directives are legally valid throughout the United States. While you do not need a lawyer to fill out an advance directive, your advance directive becomes legally valid as soon as you sign them in front of the required witnesses. The laws governing advance directives vary from state to state, so it is important, if you leave Texas you will need to complete and sign advance directives that comply with your state’s law in which you move. Also, advance directives can have different titles in different states. 1. Directive to Physicians and Family or Surrogates often referred to as Living Wills. This directive allows you to specify for the provision, withdrawal or withholding of medical care in the event of a terminal or irreversible condition. • One physician must certify your condition. 2. Medical Power of Attorney • This directive allows you to designate another person as your agent for making health care decisions if you become incompetent. • You do not have to have a terminal or irreversible condition for a medical power of attorney to be used. 3. Out-of-Hospital Do-Not-Resuscitate Order This directive allows competent adults to refuse certain life-sustaining treatments in non-hospital settings where health care professionals are called to assist, including hospital ERs and outpatient settings.

  • East Lubbock Promise Neighborhood Promise Neighborhood Grant -- U.S
    East Lubbock Promise Neighborhood Promise Neighborhood Grant -- U.S. Department of Education Texas Tech University The East Lubbock Promise Neighborhood (ELPN) targets: Absolute Priority One: Promise Neighborhoods Plan Competitive Preference Priority Four: Early Learning Competitive Preference Priority Six: Arts & Humanities ELPN Narrative Table of Contents Introduction to ELPN 2 Need for the Project 4 Quality of the Project Design 9 Quality of Project Services 36 Quality of the Management Plan 43 ELPN i Introduction Thank you, Geoffrey Canada for creating a path for the rest of us. In 1923 the Lubbock, Texas City Council established an ordinance that forbade people with more than “one-eighth negro blood” to reside outside the area “lying south of 16th Street and east of Avenue C except servants who were expected to live in the place where employed” (Amin, 1989). To this day that part of the city, East Lubbock, remains predominantly a separate community of citizens of color that now includes a sizeable Hispanic population in addition to its historically African American residents, and suffers disproportionately under the burdens of high rates of crime, poverty, ill health, and low academic achievement. It is hardly surprising how many local residents, aware of this shameful legacy of Lubbock’s Jim Crow past, recall with disbelief and some bitterness, President George H. W. Bush's 1989 statements at a national news conference, where he hailed Lubbock as an ideal American city, the heartland of the country and a barometer of national public sentiment. Farm work and the cotton industry brought many of the ancestors of Lubbock’s present day citizens of color to the region, which remains the largest contiguous cotton-growing area in the world.

  • Giving Back. Creating Hope. Touching Lives
    GIVING BACK. CREATING HOPE. TOUCHING LIVES. Dear Foundation Friends, Welcome to our 2013 Covenant Health Foundation Annual Report! We are pleased to share our achievement and activities for the fiscal year period of July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013 with our donors, volunteers and supporters. This year, we experienced significant growth in our level of donations and created a new council structure to enhance the ways our volunteer leaders help us fulfill our mission. With commitment and passion, our board and council members continue to promote Foundation initiatives and opportunities to extend Christian ministry to the whole person - body, mind and spirit. Our patients and their families again scored Covenant Health highly on patient satisfaction results and our employee engagement levels were recognized among the best nationally. These accomplishments are the result of our dedicated Covenant team of physicians, nurses, technicians, other clinical staff, administration and support staff – all of whom bring their skills and leadership to care for our patients and each other. In this report, you will read stories of how they provide sacred encounters, perfect care and better health for those we serve. The generosity of our devoted donors and supporters are integral to our success and mission. Your gifts of time, talent and resources enabled us to again exceed our fundraising goal for the 2013 fiscal year and set an all time high record of over $5 million to support programs, equipment and facility projects to better serve patients and families in our community! In fact, this year we surpassed our goals for every major category of giving to the Foundation! Among our many milestones are setting new records for every one of our special events, fully funding a new cardiac catheterization lab, creating a new endowment to provide long-term support for Hospice of Lubbock, completing funding for a new Teen Center for our Children’s Hospital, and receiving five planned gifts through trusts and bequests.
