Major Activities

Activity 2

Funds raised and provided to presbyterian intercommunity hospital ("pih") for operation of its disaster resource center: pih is one of 13 los angeles county-designated disaster resource centers (drc's) established by the county to ensure availability of key capacities in the event of a terrorist incident or other public health emergency. Pih's team participates in periodic planning meetings and drills in order to fine-tune preparations. Pih's service as a drc ensures that the community has access to enhanced surge capacity resources-such as ventilators, pharmaceuticals, medical/surgical supplies, large tent shelters, and, most importantly, the highly-skilled staff-needed to respond to large-scale disaster. Pih also hosts free disaster preparedness classes for the community in partnership with local emergency responders through role playing disaster scenarios. Key responders include police, fire, ambulance companies, city workers, schools, local media, and internal hospital staff. These activities give key responders the opportunity to fine-tune communication and response plans to ensure best-possible outcomes in the event of an actual disaster.

Activity 3

Funds raised for palliative care & chronic disease management track for pih's family medicine residency training program. The project builds upon the experience, success, and lessons learned from pih's in-home palliative care program, and includes planning/design and implementation phases. The curriculum will be distributed through the american academy of homecare physicians and other avenues.
