Activity 2

Community grants are an important part of the work of the Osteopathic Founders Foundation. Since the sale of our hospital in 1996, the Foundation's trustees have focused on utilizing our resources in a manner consistent with the Founders' original intent. Grants are awarded to community organizations who share in our mission of providingcare to the sick and in the prevention and treatment of disease. With a continually struggling economy in 2011, particular emphasis was given to the most basic needs of food, shelter, and primary health care. Just as an example, in 2011 Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa was awarded a grant of $25,000 to provide daily, home-delivered meals to homebound elderly and disabled citizens. A renewal grant of $26,000 allowed Emergency Infant Services to continue to provide formula and food to families dramatically affected by increasing unemployment oand economic uncertainty. The Tulsa County Medical Society Foundation was awarded a $45,000 grant to develop a network of specialty care physicians and hospitals who will provide free care to patients of Tulsa County's safety net clinics.

Activity 3

About every 25 seconds, an American will suffer a coronary event, and about every minute someone will die from one. Clearly, a public health issue, the Foundation has chosen to address the need for continued training of health professionals by establishing an Emergency Cardiovascular Care Training site accredited by the American Heart Association. Training in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and Basic LifeSupport for Healthcare Providers is offered for physicians and other healthcare professionals. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program which is jointly accredited by the AHA and the American Academy of Pediatrics became part of our suite of training programs in 2009. Nearly 600 professionals received certification in these disciplines through our site in 2011. Because only 31.4% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests receive bystander CPR, we also place an emphasis on providing training in the basic skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the lay community through the "Friends and Family" program. Two grants of $7,500 were provided to the AHA in support of Women's Heart Health as part of our commitment to the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
