Loss of Civil Rights: including the loss of right to vote, the inability to run for public office, and the loss of “certification” options (i.e.: state certifications)*Important for an individual we refer to training and who will be unable to obtain a state certification because of a felony conviction. Restoration of Civil Rights – who is eligible and how long does it take? Adjudication – what does this really mean? To seal or expunge a record – what are the guidelines? How to read a “rap sheet” – “it isn’t always what is appears to be”. It’s imperative that center staffs who work with our job seekers understand the ramifications of a job seeker’s criminal background when they are counseling/guiding that individual towards a specific career.

On March 2, 2013, Glades PATCH (Planned Approach To Community Health), the C.L. Brumback Health Center, Everglades AHEC, Inc., Nova Southeastern University Health Professions Division and over 100 local and coastal community health and social service providers will once again come together to offer a one-of-a-kind Medical Mission we fondly call "the Glades REACH Fair." Last year, over five hundred residents attended and most of them accessed health care services. The Glades REACH Fair was developed in 2001 in an effort to address the serious need for better access to healthcare services in the Glades communities. This year, our annual event will be held at the C.L. Brumback Center in Belle Glade, Florida from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This is an enclosed, air-conditioned facility that will host our health fair, rain or shine. Each participating agency will be provided a six-foot table and two chairs. All laws of Privacy and HIPPA Regulations will continue to be strictly adhered to. Agencies not providing direct medical services will be given space under several tents directly outside the building and those providing direct medical services will be given rooms about the size of a doctor's office exam room inside the facility. In order to be provided with a display table, all vendors and agencies must be available to stay for the entire event which runs until 3:30 p.m. Please note that we have very limited space that will go quickly. Therefore, a timely response and completed confirmation form is absolutely necessary. Additional information will be forthcoming. Click [here] to access the confirmation form. Contact Shelley Warshaw (800-819-2357) or Terri Calsetta (561-996-6571, ext. 444) for any questions.
