Montpelier 2012 / Annual Report / 60 Drew McNaughton says, “CC has an intensive focus on community building, leadership, and support. Integral to our program is the idea of peer mentorship and modeling positive support. Our rule: All words will pull us forward; no words will put us down.” Youth Outreach and High School Completion The Alternative Path to Diploma program graduated 24 students – 16 from Montpelier High and 8 from U-32 in June 2011. Those graduates represented 14.8% and 5.6% respectively of the total graduates this year. Currently, Danny Hendershot has a caseload of around 30 students working on one-or two-year graduation plans. In addition to academic tutoring provided by Adult Basic Ed, the plans must include work experience and a community project, a written component and a verbal presentation. Plans may also include college courses, internships, private lessons, and other experiences. Some young people need a different way to complete their high school education, and this program moves us toward the goal of a 100% graduation rate. Community Connections partners with the Central Vermont New Directions Coalition to bring you Girls/Boyz First Mentoring, which served over 125 children last year including 19 Montpelier mentees and 21 Montpelier mentors. Under the guidance of Wendy Farber, 47 pairs of adult mentors and youth mentees met weekly to provide a consistent adult presence for selected youth. Wendy also helps support Montpelier High School’s P.L.A.Y. peer mentoring which pairs over 80 MHS students with middle school and elementary mentees at Main Street and Union. Mentoring is one important part of the community support that is needed for our youth to develop into healthy adults. Mentors encourage, offer perspective, help their mentees develop decision making and leadership skills, and offer meaningful ways for their mentees to experience engagement in their communities. Some of our mentoring relationships continue until the young person graduates from high school – and unofficially, some continue beyond graduation! Mentoring can help turn young lives around and strengthen both aspiration and achievement. Some Girls/Boyz First Mentoring highlights: skiing at Morse Farm, baking holiday pies with NECI, day-long retreats, celebrating National Mentoring Month with a dance at Capitol Plaza Hotel. Mentor pairs volunteered helping flood victims, and they hiked, skated, baked, read, attended plays and concerts, went to the beach, danced, learned to cook, went to the library, and more. Our mentoring relationships continue to make a huge difference in the lives of the youth that we serve. Thank you all for supporting these many great youth programs over the course of 2011! Over 48% of students in our communities attend Community Connections afterschool programs. The impact is even greater when mentoring and the alternative program are added in. However town and school contributions are minimal and grant funding ends shortly. We will need additional support from the community if we are to continue to provide these valuable services.

People’s Health & Wellness Clinic The Mission of the People’s Health & Wellness Clinic is to provide primary health care and wellness education to uninsured and underinsured central Vermont residents who could not otherwise afford these services. In 2011, the People’s Health & Wellness Clinic provided 2308 patient interactions, including 1255 visits to 567 individual patients, a 19% increase over 2010. 311 of these individuals came to the Clinic for the first time. Our services include screening all patients for eligibility in a variety of health insurance and assistance programs. Of the 567 individuals, we were successful in enrolling many of them in a total of 248 programs including, VHAP, Medicaid, Catamount, Ladies First, Medicare, Healthy Vermonters, Affordable Meds, and Central Vermont Medical Center’s patient financial assistance program. As a result, average annual patient visits dropped from 2.9 per patient to 2.2. This means patients are uninsured a shorter period of time, giving them access to comprehensive care and improving their overall health, while saving the health care system money. Montpelier residents visited the Clinic 139 times during 2011, representing 63 unduplicated individuals. 35 lab tests were provided at no charge to the patients, and 40 free prescriptions were given. Consults and wellness education was provided, and we assisted 33 patients to enroll in health insurance programs. Volunteer practitioners are the heart of our service model. In 2011, over 65 volunteers gave over $86,000 worth of their time serving our patients. We also provided over $51,000 worth of pharmaceuticals to our patients, paid for $15,000 of diagnostic testing, and got another $23,000 of tests donated. 2011 was our second year of providing special Women’s Clinics, in collaboration with Central Vermont Medical Center, and funded by the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Ladies First. Complete women’s physicals, self-examination techniques, and access to free mammograms, other diagnostic tests, and insurance coverage have brought comprehensive and preventive care to another group of central Vermont’s uninsured residents. We doubled the number of Women’s Clinics from 6 to 12. We define our primary service area as all of Washington County, plus the Orange County towns of Orange, Washington, and Williamstown, but we do not restrict geographic access, and ended up serving people from 50 Vermont towns. While our income guidelines go up to 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), over 86% of our patients fall under 185% FPL ($20,446
