FINAL WEB version BHF Community Report 2015

Pride. Challenge. Opportunity. All are words associated with theCoatesville community. Our community. The nine municipalities in the Coatesville Area School District have become our strategic priority because it is here, where our roots lie, that the greatest need persists and the opportunity to have impact is dramatic.We’re honored to lead the largest philanthropy dedicated solely to improving health in a community we’re proud to serve.

In addition to being the principal funder of top quality nonprofits serving this community, our role at the Brandywine Health Foundation is to advocate for the Coatesville area so that it remains on the county’s—and in fact, the region’s—radar. Luckily, we have found willing and able partners in the region’s philanthropic community, and our county’s business and elected leadership. Their Vista 2025 study pointed directly to Coatesville as the community where the greatest opportunity exists to truly move the needle toward complete, equitable economic health for the entire county.

Our staff, board and volunteers are proud advocates because this is a community with a proud heritage, tremendous diversity, and deep relationships. We believe that Coatesville area children deserve to grow up in a safe, vibrant community with every opportunity for the best health care, quality education and out-of-school youth development opportunities. We have an obligation and responsibility to shine the light on problems that exist because openness and transparency are crucial to finding solutions that will work. You have been our partners in identifying issues that deserve our attention and we are grateful for your guidance.

So, we’re shining the light on issues like the racial disparity in birth outcomes that put so many African-American babies at a disadvantage from the very beginning. And we’re not turning a blind eye to the challenges our school district faces. A collective community effort led to a new school board and superintendent who are wrestling with a myriad of issues that must be addressed if our children are to receive the top quality education taken for granted in more affluent communities. Transformation will take time, but we appreciate the current emphasis on community partnerships like our nationally recognized Youth Mental Health First Aid program, and our new Youth Philanthropy program, so generously supported by Citadel.

As we address problems you’ve said are critical, we also want to assist when there are opportunities to tell others what’s unique and important about our community, like its rich history. That’s why we worked closely with Coatesville’s City Council and others to plan a series of events to recognize the City of Coatesville’s Centennial Year.

So, if you too feel pride of place, if you believe that the Coatesville area has the potential to become not just proud of its strengths, but of its progress in overcoming its challenges, then we hope you’ll join us on one of the many exciting projects and events happening here. Because no progress happens by chance—it happens because you and people like you care enough to give back with pride. Thank you.

James H. Manning, Jr., Esq., Outgoing Board Chair Dawn M. James, Incoming Board Chair Frances M. Sheehan, President and CEO

Notes to the Statement of Activities: Three categories of income andexpense can impact the foundation’s change in Net Assets from year to year significantly. Investment income can swing dramatically depending uponstock market performance. And, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) standards require the recording of a grant commitment in the year in which it was made, even if the intent is to cover expenses over several years. This practice impacts contributions given to the foundation (Contributions and Grants), as well as grants made to other nonprofits by the foundation (Program Services). This year, the BHS Transitional Corporation wound down operations and donated two properties to the foundation as In-Kind Contributions: the Consignment Shop property, which will continue to operate to benefit the community, and the Pyle Farm, which is available for sale.

Notes to the Statement of Financial Position: Loans Receivable represent funds borrowed by Brandywine Health & Housing, LP, due tothe foundation for the development of the Brandywine Center, and a loan previously due from the BHS Transitional Corporation, which was resolved with the donation of land appraised at a higher amount (see above). Grants Payable include commitments to ChesPenn Health Services and the PublicSafety Training Facility Foundation.

The Alene McDermott Memorial ScholarshipFund was established in loving memory ofa talented acoustic guitar player and vocalist (photo above) who lost her long battle with breast and ovarian cancers in2010. To perpetuate her optimistic spirit and inspirational musicianship, her family and friends established the fund to provide scholarships to graduating high schoolstudents from the Coatesville Area High School who wish to embark on music orart careers.

This year’s recipient is 2015 graduate and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Byrnes. Now majoring in music technology at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Byrnes is using the scholarship funds for both his education and some “insanely helpful” high-tech electronics he is nowusing to craft original music.

“I’m a huge supporter of women in music,” he says of Mrs. McDermott, “and I am extremely honored and humbled that I’ve been given such a vote of confidence.”

When Ronjae Jones was selected as the fourthrecipient of the foundation’s Harry Lewis Jr. Scholarship Award, he said that State Rep. Harry Lewis “has affected my life, as a man, role model and leader. I don’t just carry myself; I carry my family and my community with me wherever I go. I represent Coatesville, and I do my best to represent it as the good city that it is.”

Jones, who credits the Coatesville YouthInitiative for instilling him with self- confidence and insight, is now a freshmanmajoring in cinema and television atMorehouse College in Atlanta.

ecently, counselors at the BOYS & G3 co-ed after-school

homework program run by James Hills, a Coatesville Area School District (CASD) board member, twice intervened after hearing two different youths discussing suicide.

So did five cafeteria workers at the North Brandywine Middle School after noticing that a student appeared withdrawn and isolated.

“ This training empowers lay people to know the signs and symptoms of a mental health crisis, then to act by knowing where to send those in need.”

—Alyson Ferguson, MPH Scattergood Foundation

Hundreds Trained to Provide Mental Health First Aid to Youth in Crisis

The counselors and cafeteria workers felt emboldened to summon help thanks to the Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) program training that they underwent. Introduced by the Brandywine Health Foundation, the Coatesville program—using the National Council for Behavioral Health’s evidence-based curriculum—has already garnered national attention, resulting in a two-year federal grant to the CASD, one of just 105 U.S. school districts to receive such recognition.

During the past year, Hills’ volunteers and the cafeteria workers were among the 301 people who underwent the all-day training sessions. Fifty-eight percent were school district employees, including teachers, cafeteria workers, custodians and secretarial staff; the remainder were interested citizens.

“It’s basic mental health first aid or CPR that gives the general public tools to respond if they see someone in an acute crisis,” says Linda Thompson Adams, RN, DRPH, the professor of nursing and dean of the College of Health Sciences at West Chester University (WCU) who chairs the foundation’s YMHFA Advisory Board and serves on the foundation’s board of directors.

“Such a stigma surrounds mental health issues that people often are reluctant to talk about them,” adds Alyson Ferguson, MPH, the Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation’s

grant-making director. “This training empowers laypeople to know the signs and symptoms of a mental health crisis, then to act by knowing where to send those in need for help.”

Compared to Chester County youths overall, higher percentages of CASD youths report feeling depressed or sad most days. In response, last year the BHF, First Hospital, Marshall-Reynolds, Scattergood and van Ameringen foundations formed a funding collaborative to launch a four-year YMHFA program that also includes county, state and federal agencies. (See donor list for all YMHFA funders.)

Based on 15-question pre- and post-training surveys evaluated by Stacie M. Metz, WCU associate professor of graduate social work, the training significantly raises awareness about the proper way to respond to troubled youths—and gives participants the confidence to do so.

“Because of the training, everyone in our program knew to ask those questions of the two youths in our program and they felt comfortable doing it,” says Hills, a YMHFA Advisory Board member.

Another YMHFA Advisory Board member, Richard Newman, MD, a retired psychiatrist who has similarly trained many health professionals, initially was skeptical that it could be effective with

nonprofessionals—until the Marshall-Reynolds Foundation trustee himself underwent the training: “I was very impressed because of the very realistic goals they set: opening up human contact with troubled people and giving them someone to speak with.”

Concludes Metz: “Our evaluation most definitely shows promising evidence that the YMHFA program improves the knowledge, attitudes and confidence of people to better deal with youths exhibiting mental health symptoms.”

Training and Dr. Metz’s evaluation will continue in the CASD for three more years, with hundreds more to be trained and study results that can be used nationwide to assure we are helping young people—before it’s too late.

R

The most dramatic improvements:

• The percentage of trainees who correctly believe “You should ask a youth who tells you they are thinking about suicide whether they have a plan to do so” increased from 47 percent to 93 percent.

• The percentage of trainees who correctly said it is false that “You should not ask someone if they are feeling suicidal in case you put the idea in their head” rose from 60 to 88 percent.

The City of Coatesville launched its 100-year anniversary celebration on April 27, 2015, at the soon-to-be-modernized Coatesville train station. City Council President Linda Lavender Norris served as mistress of ceremonies and was joined by Pennsylvania Secretary of Transportation Leslie Richards, and other elected officials.

Other centennial events included a reunion for graduates of the historic black James Adams School; a July Community Unity Day celebration; the Brandywine Center’s Block Party; a Heritage Day in October highlighting the Lukens Historic District, Gateway Park and Ash Park; and the Coatesville Christmas Parade.

BHF CEO Frances Sheehan co-chaired the centennial with former Coatesville City Councilman David Collins and James Ziegler, executive director of The National Iron & Steel Heritage Museum. The Coatesville City Council endorsed the effort, which was made possible with generous contributions from the presenting sponsor, Coatesville Savings Bank, and other area businesses, and by more than 50 enthusiastic volunteers.

Youth Philanthropy Program Launches

Working with Renée Fairconeture, BHF program manager, Coatesville Youth Initiative Summer ServiceCorps interns, Riya Patel and Dayvon Bladen (above) spent the past summer laying the groundwork for the Brandywine Health Foundation’s new Youth Philanthropy program.

Funded by Citadel with a five-year, $100,000 gift to the Campaign for

Coatesville’s Kids, the program will give 12 to 15 Coatesville area students each year the chance to grant $15,000 to nonprofits. The students were inspired by Citadel President Jeff March’s personal story of growing up in Coatesville and his belief in the program’s potential to strengthen teen participants’ individual talents by addressing the community’s greatest needs.

Upgrading the Coatesville Center for Community Health

This past year, the foundation assisted with and made a $30,000 grant to the Coatesville Center for Community Health’s capital campaign to renovate and repair the building and grounds. Tenants such as the Domestic Violence Center and Family Service rely on the center as their Coatesville “home.” The co-location of such agencies as the Maternal and Child Health Consortium, Planned Parenthood and WIC increase access to vitally needed services. Clients also benefit from immunization clinics, free health and financial workshops, and the annual competitive walking team program, “Coatesville On the Move.”

Rich History... Even Brighter Future

Elected state, county and Coatesville officials gathered together at the April 27th Centennial Kick-Off to cut the centennial cake for hundreds of attendees.

In Chester County, the chances of an African- American woman giving birth to a low-weight baby are 13 percent, double that of Caucasian or Hispanic women—increasing the child’s risks for a host of health and developmental problems. Their babies also have a nearly three-fold-higher infant mortality rate.

Consider, however, Janae Thompson, 21, whose first pregnancy was closely monitored by ChesPenn Health Services’ dramatically expanded Prenatal Care Program. In late July, the 2012 Coatesville Area Senior High School graduate gave birth to her daughter E’laina, who weighed a healthy 7 lbs., 11 oz.

Until Janae’s care was turned over to Chester County Hospital physicians at her 36th week, Thompson saw Nurse Practitioner Hayley Davis—who runs ChesPenn’s Prenatal Program—monthly, then biweekly during her last trimester. Davis provided critically needed checkups and tests, and offered advice about what to do and what to expect.

“She and the nurses were very nice,” says Thompson. “She was also very helpful and seemed to care a lot about me and my baby.” Davis discussed healthy coffee-drinking limits, for example, and told Thompson not to be unduly concerned and to call if she started getting false labor contractions—both of which Thompson did.

She also got health insurance with assistance from the Maternal and Child Health Consortium (MCHC). “Our first goal is to ensure that each mother has health insurance, because we know a healthy delivery begins with good medical care,” says Alain Oliver, MCHC executive director. As part of a three-pronged collaboration, both MCHC and Chester County Health Department’s Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) also provide low-income mothers with in-home visits during their pregnancies and up to the first two years of their children’s lives.

BHF has been a longtime supporter of ChesPenn, MCHC and NFP, all of which—along with the foundation—are part of the county’s Birth Disparities Task Force. Convened by the county health department, the group was formed to address one of the Chester County RoadMAPP (Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships) to Health’s key priorities: reducing racial birth disparities.

“Our task force’s initial objective is to increase access to prenatal care, which involves both the hours such care is available and the proximity to expectant mothers’ homes so they can receive convenient care for as long as possible before they are transferred to a hospital OB/GYN practice shortly before the birth,” says Jeanne Casner, county health director.

Prior to Davis’ May 2014 arrival, ChesPenn doctors in their Brandywine Center offices were seeing pregnant women just four hours a week—and only four expectant mothers were enrolled. After increasing the service to five days a week, during Davis’ first 12 months 136 women enrolled in her prenatal care program.

“It was right in town and it was convenient,” says Thompson, who works as a caregiver to people with disabilities at a Downingtown group home. “Hayley even worked around my schedule and my boyfriend’s, who goes to college in Brooklyn.”

“I think we’re having a great impact,” concludes Davis. “More women are showing up earlier in their pregnancies, so more are getting the care that they and their babies need at the appropriate time.” Results like these prove that BHF’s decision to support ChesPenn and its expanded services was right in 2005 and is still right 10 years later.

The Brandywine Health Foundation’s mission is enhanced by serving as a convener bringing together nonprofits, government entities, businesses and charitable individuals in order to create innovative solutions to our pressing community problems. Generous volunteers are engaged in our efforts in a variety of ways, including with a few, well-done events each year—events that bring our diverse community together, raise needed charitable funds and enhance understanding of the foundation.

Our annual Strawberry Festival, Garden Party and Festive 5K Run & Walk engage hundreds of dedicated volunteers with whom we are fortunate to work each year. This past year we also held a party for many school district alumni to raise the last dollars for the Campaign for Coatesville’s Kids.

Our volunteers and the thousands of people who came out to enjoy one or more of our events enabled us this past year to provide $250,968 in funding for nonprofit organizations and programs that support a healthy, safe and vibrant Coatesville area.

Strawberry Festival

Kathleen Deets-Price and

The Very Rev. Stephen Price

The Very Rev. Stephen Price has served on the foundation’s board of directors since 2012. “I believe community health is such an important

path for wholeness and caring,” says the pastor of Conshohocken’s Calvary Episcopal Church and the dean of the 14-church Valley Forge deanery.

He is impressed that, rather than operating in a “top-down” manner, the foundation “engages in the community, and both seeks and receives participation and feedback” in the projects it undertakes and supports. He also thinks the low-income senior housing at the foundation-hatched Brandywine Center is a groundbreaking model of its kind.

“It’s so perfect and brilliant,” says Price. “The things the foundation engages in are just so important for the infrastructure of the caring community in a town like Coatesville and its environs.”

Kathleen Deets-Price, who grew up in the house where she and her husband now live outside of Downingtown, is a graduate of Scott Senior High School (Class of 1967). She has been a member of the foundation’s Garden Party Committee since its inception in 2003—and for the past three years has chaired the critically important event. Already working on next May’s Garden Party since August, Mrs. Deets-Price lauds her hardworking committee and praises the foundation’s high-quality leadership and well-run board of directors.

“I believe that faith without works is empty, so this is a wonderful way to engage with the community and try to do my very small part,” she says. “Having grown up here, I believe the foundation is striving to help the people of our community in so many different ways, and I can’t imagine where we would be without the foundation to guide us through this time.”

This past year’s Garden Party netted $102,000. “When people donate their money, it’s a matter of trust,” she notes, “and everyone’s level of trust with the Brandywine Health Foundation couldn’t be higher.”

The Volunteer Experience

Fred Travaglini’s family has been giving back to the Coatesville area community ever since his grandparents founded G.O. Carlson, a steel and

nickel alloy plate manufacturer, in 1936. His mother, Barbara, has faithfully served as a board director of both the Brandywine Hospital and the Brandywine Health Foundation. Travaglini, who is vice president of Carlson’s properties group, is currently a BHF board member and co-chair of its Planned Giving Committee.

Through the Gunard Berry Carlson Memorial Foundation—named for his mother’s late brother—the family has supported numerous BHF initiatives. These include establishing an endowed nursing student scholarship and supporting such programs as the Coatesville Youth Initiative and the Youth Mental Health First Aid program.

“Our question regarding donations is always, ‘What’s my return on investment?’” says Travaglini. “We feel quite strongly about the difference the foundation is making. For example, the number of kids involved in the CYI’s Summer YouthCorps is amazing.”

Though I have not lived in Coatesville since 1961, more than half a century ago, there has never been a time when, asked from whence I come, I have failed to include it. It is a place which has, still, a tug on my psyche.

And it seems to me that the Brandywine Health Foundation is an excellent, well-run, efficient institution that has made a marked positive impact on the Coatesville community—which is so important to me. The foundation is worthy of my interest and is worthy of my investments of both time and money.

In Memoriam

We sadly mourn the passing and honor the memories of three of the Brandywine Health Foundation’s early leaders, Milton Allen and Jane and Al Eastburn.

Milton Allen passed away January 19, 2015. He served on the foundation’s board of directors at its inception in 2002 to 2005. The board of directors took significant risk when it began building the Brandywine Center in 2007, yet Milt said, “If it’s the only thing we do in the history of this foundation, we will have done the right thing.” His clarity of vision and dedication to the community remain guideposts for all of us.

Jane Eastburn passed away May 24, 2015. She co-chaired the foundation’s first Garden Party Committee with Barbara Travaglini, setting it on such a highly successful path that, 13 years later this past spring, 450 guests raised over $100,000 for our community. Jane continued her tremendous support and remained an active volunteer, encouraging three generations of her family to get involved with the Garden Party, including her

daughter-in-law Laurie and granddaughters Chelsea and Lauren. She was warm, caring and sensitive, but also witty, with an insightful sense of humor. You always knew you’d end up in a belly laugh after spending time with Jane.

Albert W. Eastburn Jr. passed away August 24, 2015. Al was the foundation’s board chair from 2004 to 2006, and vice chair from 2007 to 2009. Larger than life, he impacted so many institutions in our community in ways big and small. He mentored a whole new generation of community leaders and is credited with leading the foundation during the building of the Brandywine Health and Housing Center.

For so many in the Coatesville area, it was an honor to work for and with Milt, Jane and Al. They are deeply missed by the board, staff and all of us here at the Brandywine Health Foundation.

Notes to the Statement of Activities: Three categories of income andexpense can impact the foundation’s change in Net Assets from year to year significantly. Investment income can swing dramatically depending uponstock market performance. And, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) standards require the recording of a grant commitment in the year in which it was made, even if the intent is to cover expenses over several years. This practice impacts contributions given to the foundation (Contributions and Grants), as well as grants made to other nonprofits by the foundation (Program Services). This year, the BHS Transitional Corporation wound down operations and donated two properties to the foundation as In-Kind Contributions: the Consignment Shop property, which will continue to operate to benefit the community, and the Pyle Farm, which is available for sale.

Notes to the Statement of Financial Position: Loans Receivable represent funds borrowed by Brandywine Health & Housing, LP, due tothe foundation for the development of the Brandywine Center, and a loan previously due from the BHS Transitional Corporation, which was resolved with the donation of land appraised at a higher amount (see above). Grants Payable include commitments to ChesPenn Health Services and the PublicSafety Training Facility Foundation.

The Alene McDermott Memorial ScholarshipFund was established in loving memory ofa talented acoustic guitar player and vocalist (photo above) who lost her long battle with breast and ovarian cancers in2010. To perpetuate her optimistic spirit and inspirational musicianship, her family and friends established the fund to provide scholarships to graduating high schoolstudents from the Coatesville Area High School who wish to embark on music orart careers.

This year’s recipient is 2015 graduate and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Byrnes. Now majoring in music technology at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Byrnes is using the scholarship funds for both his education and some “insanely helpful” high-tech electronics he is nowusing to craft original music.

“I’m a huge supporter of women in music,” he says of Mrs. McDermott, “and I am extremely honored and humbled that I’ve been given such a vote of confidence.”

When Ronjae Jones was selected as the fourthrecipient of the foundation’s Harry Lewis Jr. Scholarship Award, he said that State Rep. Harry Lewis “has affected my life, as a man, role model and leader. I don’t just carry myself; I carry my family and my community with me wherever I go. I represent Coatesville, and I do my best to represent it as the good city that it is.”

Jones, who credits the Coatesville YouthInitiative for instilling him with self- confidence and insight, is now a freshmanmajoring in cinema and television atMorehouse College in Atlanta.

Pride. Challenge. Opportunity. All are words associated with theCoatesville community. Our community. The nine municipalities in the Coatesville Area School District have become our strategic priority because it is here, where our roots lie, that the greatest need persists and the opportunity to have impact is dramatic.We’re honored to lead the largest philanthropy dedicated solely to improving health in a community we’re proud to serve.

In addition to being the principal funder of top quality nonprofits serving this community, our role at the Brandywine Health Foundation is to advocate for the Coatesville area so that it remains on the county’s—and in fact, the region’s—radar. Luckily, we have found willing and able partners in the region’s philanthropic community, and our county’s business and elected leadership. Their Vista 2025 study pointed directly to Coatesville as the community where the greatest opportunity exists to truly move the needle toward complete, equitable economic health for the entire county.

Our staff, board and volunteers are proud advocates because this is a community with a proud heritage, tremendous diversity, and deep relationships. We believe that Coatesville area children deserve to grow up in a safe, vibrant community with every opportunity for the best health care, quality education and out-of-school youth development opportunities. We have an obligation and responsibility to shine the light on problems that exist because openness and transparency are crucial to finding solutions that will work. You have been our partners in identifying issues that deserve our attention and we are grateful for your guidance.

So, we’re shining the light on issues like the racial disparity in birth outcomes that put so many African-American babies at a disadvantage from the very beginning. And we’re not turning a blind eye to the challenges our school district faces. A collective community effort led to a new school board and superintendent who are wrestling with a myriad of issues that must be addressed if our children are to receive the top quality education taken for granted in more affluent communities. Transformation will take time, but we appreciate the current emphasis on community partnerships like our nationally recognized Youth Mental Health First Aid program, and our new Youth Philanthropy program, so generously supported by Citadel.

As we address problems you’ve said are critical, we also want to assist when there are opportunities to tell others what’s unique and important about our community, like its rich history. That’s why we worked closely with Coatesville’s City Council and others to plan a series of events to recognize the City of Coatesville’s Centennial Year.

So, if you too feel pride of place, if you believe that the Coatesville area has the potential to become not just proud of its strengths, but of its progress in overcoming its challenges, then we hope you’ll join us on one of the many exciting projects and events happening here. Because no progress happens by chance—it happens because you and people like you care enough to give back with pride. Thank you.
