Blue Shield of California Foundation recognizes Operation Care as important member of California's domestic violence field

Amador County, CA (August 15, 2014) - Blue Shield of California Foundation today announced a grant of $15,000 to Operation Care to support their capacity to provide critical services and shelter for survivors of abuse in Amador County. These core operating funds offer the flexibility to respond to new demands and opportunities, so that Operation Care can continue to reach many of the most vulnerable Californians.

"As the state's largest private funder of domestic violence services and prevention, the Foundation is committed to supporting strong organizations like Operation Care," said Peter Long, Ph.D., president and CEO of Blue Shield of California Foundation. "Ensuring they have the resources to adapt and meet the needs of all survivors is critical to achieving our ultimate mission of ending domestic violence in California."

The Foundation recognizes that reliable and flexible core support is needed to help the field drive even greater impact, and adjust to changes and challenges as they arise.

"We are grateful to the Blue Shield of California Foundation for recognizing the work we do to help survivors of domestic violence establish a new household, said Tammie Crabtree, Executive Director of Operation Care. "These funds will be used to manage our new Fresh Start program, helping our safe house clients transition into a violence-free home and providing ongoing case management to help ensure success. A majority of our fundraisers have benefitted the Fresh Start Program, but being able to use these BSCF funds for overhead and administrative costs ensures that the donations from our community go directly towards our clients."
 

This funding is part of a group of grants designed to empower California's domestic violence services providers, and enable them to continue making a difference in the lives of thousands of victims, survivors, and families. The Foundation is proud to support Operation Care and nearly every shelter and domestic violence service organization in California.

JACKSON, Calif. – Back to school is upon us and if you haven’t done so already, now is a great time to schedule your child’s annual school and sports physicals.

Routine physicals allow pediatricians to assess your child’s growth and development, which includes checking height and weight, blood pressure, vision, hearing and a complete physical exam. Pediatricians will also assess for other physical, emotional or social health concerns and perform any indicated or recommended laboratory testing.

“All of these assessments are very important and require more time and attention than is available during illness visits. Therefore, you should make an appointment specifically for a well-child check-up,” said Aye Moe, M.D., a pediatrician with Sutter Medical Group who joined the Sutter Amador Pediatrics office this year.

In addition to Dr. Moe, Sutter Amador Pediatrics office features physicians David Stone, M.D., and Amy Appleton, M.D., and Nurse Practitioner Denise Lack, Ph.D. – who are excited to care for your children. The office, located at 100 Mission Blvd., is now accepting new patients. To make an appointment call (209) 257-1722.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends annual check-ups for children ages 3 through 18. These provide a good opportunity for parents and doctors to talk about development and behavioral issues your child or adolescent may be facing. A child’s health can change from year to year, so it’s important to receive a complete examination on an annual basis.

In addition to an annual physical, the beginning of the school year can be a good time to discuss athletic injuries with your pediatrician. As more children and adolescents are participating in the same sport year-round (as opposed to 20 years ago, when they might have been in a couple of seasonal sports), physicians are seeing more overuse injuries.

“If student-athletes see their physician before beginning a new sport, it can significantly decrease the possibility of injury,” said Dr. Moe. “We can recommend exercises to increase your child’s fitness and encourage the use of safety equipment. We want to partner with you to assess any special risks that are unique to your child.”
