			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learn how Amberen works to arrest menopause symptoms</p>
<p>The mechanism behind <a href="http://amberenreviews.info/">Amberen</a> is very simple. Usually women have an inbuilt mechanism that plays a role in regulating hormones. This mechanism wears out with age causing a shift in hormonal balance. When this happens, the woman is said to be on menopause. Therefore, the natural drug Amberen drug is composed of smart molecules that help in increasing the function of hormones in women. There are some side effects of using the drug however; you can expect to establish remarkable results after using the drug for a while.</p>
<p>The use of Amberen as a drug to arrest menopause symptoms is today very popular. This is because the drug has been tested and proven to work to the advantage of many women. As a matter of fact, the success ration of the drug is 92.6%. This figure attests to the fact that you could be saying goodbye to all the frustrating symptoms of menopause if you dare to use it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The advantages of using <a href="http://lipozenereview.info/">lipozene</a><br />
If you are fighting against obesity, it would be a great idea to consider the use of lipozene. It is a special drug that is made from natural extracts. This makes it not only safe but also healthy to use. The many advantages of using it has made it reach the heights of international popularity, according to both research and users, the use of lipozene can help you to reduce in weight of up to 5.5 pounds in less than two months.</p>
<p>What happens is that the drug has special ingredients that can assist you in suppressing your appetite. At the same go, some of the supplements used in manufacturing the drug will assist in making you feel energetic. This way, you can go about your daily business without much trouble of feeling drained of energy. What seals the deal is that unlike most weight loss supplements, lipozene does not contain any stimulants. This makes it the best drug for sensitive patients.</p>
<p><strong>How did the clinic get started?</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>This is a true grassroots community effort. The Lord has placed a burden – for the uninsured of our county – on the hearts and minds of many individual leaders in our community. At our first meeting it was apparent that we were all finding ways to positively impact the problem. However, it was also apparent that we could do so much more if we worked together as a community. Read more.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>How can I help?</strong></p>
<p>The proposed clinic would operate with minimal staff positions and rely entirely on volunteerhealthcare personnel to assist in medical treatment. Grants and gifts – including in-kind gifts – from community partners (area churches, businesses, local government, and individuals) will assist in funding of the proposed clinic. You can help by volunteering your time and talents. Whether you have a background in healthcare, or not, we need you. Please contact John Romano if you would like more information about volunteering with CHHC: jaromano@NetZero.com .</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Can groups volunteer?</strong></p>
<p>Yes. This is a wonderful group building (church group, civic club, corporate outreach, etc.) toopportunity. Where else can you participate in a medical mission trip and still be back in time tosleep in your own bed. If you would like to learn more about group volunteer opportunities please contact John: jaromano@NetZero.com</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>What is your mission statement?</strong></p>
<p>To serve with compassion by providing health and wellness care to the uninsured of ShelbyCounty. Read more.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>What does CHHC hope to accomplish?</strong></p>
<p>At any given moment, any one of us could find ourselves without health insurance. Oftentimes,this happens as a result of sudden job loss or other circumstances beyond our control. Our hope is that we can help our neighbors through the hard seasons of life by providing routine, non-emergency medical services at no charge. CHHC is more than a medical home, it’s a place where neighbors can come and bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Why did you choose the VIM Model?</strong></p>
<p>We chose to pattern our clinic after the VIM model because of it’s “Culture of Caring” philosophy. The VIM model is rooted in an ethical standard that says “how” people are treated during a visit to the clinic is as important as the medical care they receive. It finds its basis in the 2<sup>nd</sup>Commandment to “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and the “Golden Rule.” Read More.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>How is CHHC supported?</strong></p>
<p>In short, through the generosity of folks like you. Read more.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>How do you keep the clinic running so smoothly?</strong></p>
<p>John Romano, our Executive Director, keeps our all-volunteer-team in sync. On top of that, we have incredible volunteers that are just fun to be around. We LOVE what we do and it shows. Clickhere for a more detailed explanation of our staffing arrangement.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Where is the clinic located?</strong></p>
<p>At this time, we don’t have a building of our own. The clinic is currently located within the Shelby County Health Department (after hours) at 1000 County Services Drive, Pelham, AL 35124. And we couldn’t be happier with the arrangement. True to our mission, it allows us to offer quality care while keeping our overhead VERY low. Read more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How can I donate to the clinic?</strong></p>
<p>That’s easy. To make a tax deductible donation directly to the clinic, please send checks to:<br />
<strong>The Community of Hope Health Clinic – P.O. Box 223 – Alabaster, AL 35007</strong>. We will follow up with a receipt that you can use to receive a deduction during the current tax year.</p>
<p>At this time, we are not set up to receive donations by credit card, but Asbury United MethodistChurch and the Baptist Health Foundation have agreed to help us out if needed. If you do decide to donate through either of these partners, please remember to designate the gift accordingly (i.e. Please note this donation is for CHHC.) Thank you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The truth about nopalea reviews</h2>
<p>When it comes to taking foods supplements, many people are very cautious in anything that they place in their mouth. The reason behind this is that many of the factory-manufactured products do have side effects, which could create havoc in your system if your body’s immunity system is not ok.  This brings us to the topic on <a href="http://newnopaleareviews.com/">nopalea</a> reviews where many people are wondering, is it best for my health? Nopalea is a natural product that has been extracted from a napal cactus tree.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The reason why people use this supplement is its natural nature and ability to rejuvenate the body once again. It is rich in antioxidants whose duty is to remove all the toxic materials from your body. It also helps in repairing any damaged cells in the human body hence its effectiveness and usability is great. The bottom line in taking this drink is to keep fit, help your body gain back immunity, and have a healthy body.</p>
<p>Community of Hope Health Clinic is modeled after the “Volunteers in Medicine Clinic”, in Hilton Head,South Carolina. Since 1993, the original VIM Clinic has grown to serve more than 30,000 patients each year and has been used as a model for fifty other VIM clinics now operating across the country.</p>
<p>Community of Hope Health Clinic is the second Alabama–based health clinic formally affiliated with the Volunteers in Medicine Institute. (The first VIM clinic in Alabama was the MOM Clinic located inMontgomery, AL.)</p>
<p>Like the original Hilton Head Clinic other VIMI clinics operate under the “Culture of Caring” (www.vimi.org). It is rooted in an ethical standard that how people are treated during a visit to the clinic is as important as the medical care they receive.</p>
<p>This culture recognizes the strengths of those in need and respects their dignity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Community of Hope Health Clinic plans to offer the following medical services at no charge to uninsured Shelby County residents.  The scope of services will be limited at the Clinic’s start-up but expanded as medical volunteers, resources, equipment and funding become available.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Outpatient primary medical care </em>such as diagnosis and management of chronic disorders.</li>
<li><em>Preventative medical services</em> which include physician and medical professional counseling based on the individual needs of patients. Seminars as well as educational literature will be offered on specific medical issues and lifestyle impact on health.</li>
<li>A limited number of <em>medical tests</em> will be available and non-scheduled medication will be dispensed as resources allow.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the scope of services as defined above does not guarantee access to specialist referrals, the Clinic will work closely with other medical facilities in referring patients for specialty services requiring expertise or capital equipment not available on site.  A referral network will be organized with as many specialists as possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Similar to other charitable health clinics, Community of Hope Health Clinic plans to eventually provide appropriate drugs and medications to its patients at no cost. Volunteer pharmacists and pharmacy techs will be vital for assuring quality prescriptions and safeguarding against dosage errors and cross-reactions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the Volunteers in Medicine name states, the majority of the services are delivered by volunteer medical and lay staff members. Only the Executive Director is paid.</p>
<p>Shelby County is fortunate to have a vibrant and generous community that includes a wealth of active and retired medical personnel, students, lay volunteers and other individuals who liberally and consistently donate their time to community causes.</p>
<p>Ever since our first meeting, individuals with both medical and non-medical backgrounds have expressed a tremendous desire to volunteer at CHHC. They know that it’s going to take an army of volunteers to keep this clinic going, but they don’t always know exactly where they fit.</p>
<p>We need both non-medical and medical volunteers. We need groups (Church groups, civic clubs, etc.), retired individuals, non-retired individuals, and others to serve one or more night(s) per year.</p>
<p>Training will be provided to ensure that you not only know your role, but enjoy doing it. Currently, we are seeking the following medical volunteers: nurses, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, licensed residents or fellows in training, medical students, nursing students, pharmacy students, and other allied health professionals. We are also seeking the following non-medical volunteers: receptionists, greeters, office workers, IT professionals, attorneys, teachers, trainers, social workers, case workers, patient advocates, ministers, translators, marketing professionals, public relations professionals, and anyone else who has a heart for medical ministry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong>Lipozene reviews will prove it&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>I have been obsessing over losing weight for a few weeks, and I couldn’t find a product that will help me lose as many lbs as possible in a short period of time (my sister’s wedding is in three months and I have to look neat!). And I don’t want to stuff myself with all sorts of hormones and chemicals either. They can be extremely dangerous and I don’t want to get myself into any trouble. The only thing I seem to rely on is Lipozene, since it is the only thing I didn’t cut out from the products I had shortlisted after a tedious online research. I have also looked for <strong><a href="http://lipozene-reviews.org/">Lipozene reviews</a></strong> online and I was surprised to find so many of them were positive! I would really enjoy something that is risk free and based on fibre, not chemicals. Maybe I will finally get to the ideal weight!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On March 30, 2007, community stakeholders who had expressed interest in developing a free health clinic in Shelby County first convened to discuss the future development of such a clinic.</p>
<p>The Director of the Good Samaritan Clinic in Cullman, Alabama and a representative of the Alabama Association of Free Clinics, outlined the planning process and discussed the ‘lessons learned’ by clinics from around the state.</p>
<p>A representative from Baptist Health System, affirmed Shelby Baptist Medical Center was seeing an increasing need for health care services for the medically uninsured.  It was also noted that ShelbyBaptist Medical Center was internally evaluating the need for a free or low-cost health clinic.  The hospital’s due diligence had confirmed the need for such a medical clinic.</p>
<p>The Director of the Shelby County Department of Human Resources, added that the lack of affordable health care for low-income, working poor is a deterrent to employment and often is the precipitating cause for persons to return to the ‘welfare rolls.’ The Shelby County Manager, stated that the county would support the development of a free clinic and that his staff would actively serve on the task force. The United Way of Central Alabama agreed to help facilitate as well.  A local pediatrician and representative of Asbury United Methodist Church, agreed to chair the task force.</p>
<p>In the months ahead, the steering committee further developed and chose the name “Community of Hope Health Clinic” (CHHC) to depict both the community involvement and the hope for better health for Shelby County residents.</p>
<p>In August of 2007, the CHHC steering committee formally affiliated with the Volunteers in Medicine Institute to obtain assistance in starting a VIM-modeled clinic in Shelby County Alabama. Funds generously provided by Asbury United Methodist Church were utilized to cover travel-related expenses of hosting a VIM representative for a series of public forums wherein ideas were explored as to how to develop a free clinic.</p>
