Camellia Foundation

2007 Report 2

For the uninsured, the Camellia Foundation will support programs providing services and medications which might otherwise be unavailable to underserved populations with an emphasis on those who have financial barriers, language barriers, and/or cultural barriers. In 2003, this mission was expanded to include developing countries.

The Foundation will develop local, state, national, and international networks of supporters for all of the above.

The foundation will purchase land for the construction of a medical clinic consistent with the goals of the foundation. Facilities would be provided in return for fair market value rent paid back to the foundation or the property could be sold for a profit as part of the long term strategy for capital growth.

A search identified a $50,000 partnership in a commercial building adjacent to Methodist Hospital. Anthony Lopes, commercial realtor, has helped the Foundation in the past, and the board approved this investment. More details were in the February 2007 minutes.

The Foundation has a bank account at Wachovia Bank in Memphis, thereby, developing monthly reports of cash on hand and expenditures. As of 6/29/07 , Wachovia reported a balance of $265, 863.54. Tom Ratliff is managing a mutual market fund account with Ferris, Baker, and Watts. The June 1, 2007 value is estimated at approximately $180,899.22

Provide written reports to donors. These reports will include our federal tax number such that the donors can achieve legal recognition of their contributions to a non-profit 501C3 foundation. Maintain an inventory of donations year-to-date and file with each report.

Support a website, “The Procedural Skills and Office Technology Bulletin” () which describes overall goals, objectives, and resources. Adrian Day continues at $15 per hour for support of our educational and service mission in distance learning for underserved communities nationally and internationally.

Create an internet accessible newsletter and review of recently published medical studies is posted on the website. We have reaffirmed a request for deletion of names and numbers from the report which is filed on the internet.

Create E-mail newsletter for biannual reports and sign off by the Board of Directors. This is the first draft of the 2nd report for 2007. The February report was approved by the board.

Support mission oriented medical care projects for underserved communities in Latin America. [See below]. Our goal is to articulate a vision which has mutual value. The Foundation supports programs incorporating FAMILY MEDICINE-er-ob. These fellowships and credentials, allow qualified physicians to be accepted as obstetricians with additional training in emergency medicine. The description grants access to the hospital whereas “general practitioners” are not recognized as being sufficiently trained to work in the hospital.

B. Mid-Range, 2007-2009.

Support a professional identity for FAMILY MEDICINE-er-ob and communicate this to patients within communities available to participate as a test pilot. Consider hiring a public relations firm to assist.

Contribute to post residency training programs[fellowships] with an emphasis on clinical skills needed in rural and underserved communities. These programs would be one year modules similar to the FAMILY MEDICINE-er-ob fellowships conducted at the University of Tennessee and at Meharry Medical College. Meetings have been held with Dr Roger Zoorob, Chair at Meharry/Vanderbilt Department of Family Medicine, and with Gina DeFranco MD, who replaced the late Chris Graves MD as director for obstetrical curriculum at UT-Chattanooga.

C. Long-Range Options.

a. Develop a capital growth strategy for increasing value. The Camellia Foundation states its endowment goals of $10 million for the purpose of funding an independent residency program dedicated to the principles of FAMILY MEDICNE-er-ob.

. b. The Foundation will explore opportunities and interest in matching funds for the establishment of an endowed professorship at an accredited Residency Training Program. C. Create prototype contracts assuring allegiance to primary principles such that when the endowment goal is reached, the Foundation can negotiate a safe haven for the legacy of these funds.

Preference points will be awarded for the established presence of programs clearly supporting the rural mission of continuing comprehensive health care unrestricted by age, gender, organ system, and location of service. Although not limited for rural community (as defined by a population area of 29,000 or less and not adjacent to a major metropolitan area), the program must provide evidence of training physicians to provide skills loosely as described by a combination of family medicine, emergency medicine, and deliveries.

Preference points will be given for having a having a clearly established fellowship programs combining emergency medicine and/or women’s health care with the fourth-year leadership development program (e.g., fellowship programs).

Some funds will be awarded for initiation of a national search and interviews with a 12-month sunset clause for this minor award. If the candidate or candidates are chosen, the Camellia Foundation requires the right to review a Curriculum Vitae, credentialing documents, and interview prior to final award of the entire endowment. Specifically, this professor must be involved “hands-on” a minimum of 52 eight-hour days per year for the teaching of advanced clinical procedures 52 calendar days per year. In addition, the professor will be responsible for the construction and maintenance of one academic seminar of at least three hours in length 42 times per year. This seminar will require evidence-based medicine as documented and written minutes. The written minutes should describe an article or articles discussed in the current Index Medicus format and write out three-five teaching messages which were given to students, residents, fellows, and other faculty in attendance.
