Each day in this country, an average of three children die as
a result of abuse. The Center for Child and Family Advocacy (CCFA),
a joint partnership between the Columbus Coalition Against Family
Violence and Columbus Children's Hospital, was born out of the
belief that we can do more for abused children and domestic violence
victims. Today that belief is translated into a community vision
that transforms the way systems respond to victims of family violence.
CCFA offers hope and healing as it treats child abuse and domestic
violence victims, providing long-term therapeutic support for
them and their non-offending family members. CCFA brings together
a dedicated child abuse medical team, therapists, law enforcement,
child welfare workers, prosecutors and domestic violence advocates
to provide comprehensive treatment for these families and to hold
perpetrators accountable.

The
Mission of the Central Ohio Lions Eye Bank is to restore, improve,
and preserve vision by connecting eye donors and transplant recipients,
educating physicians, and enhancing research through quality eye
banking services.
Thanks
to Our Community the Central Ohio Lions Eye Bank has been
able to provide 10,000 corneas for transplantation since its founding
in 1973. The goal of advancing eye care through research
and medical education is also addressed in eye research labs and
through residency training for physicians who will become eye
care specialists.
Lions Clubs throughout central
and southeastern Ohio contribute to the Eye Bank in many ways:
by raising and donating funds; by volunteering as Eye Express
Drivers and Board members; and by helping to make the public aware
of the need for eye donations. For more information, click
on Lions
Support.
Friends of the Lions Eye Bank
provide voluntary professional services, financial contributions,
communications, and support to the organization. They are corneal
transplant recipients, donor families, eye care physicians, public
servants, Lions Club members, local news media, funeral home staff,
professionals, and many others touched by the Eye Donor Program.
Thanks to these Friends, the Gift of Sight can become a reality
for those who depend on the efforts of the Lions Eye Bank for
restored vision. |

formed in the San Francisco Bay area in 1977 to meet the needs
of people who stutter. The NSA has over 2500 members nationwide
and operates a network of 85 local support groups. The Columbus
Chapter is one of those groups.
The Columbus Chapter of the NSA was organized in 1989 and
reorganized again in 1997. We currently have about 10 active members
who regularly attend out meetings.
We are a support group
geared toward attracting new people. While many chapter members
are undergoing or have completed formal speech therapy programs,
the NSA is not a therapy group and talking is voluntary.
NSA meetings are a safe
place to take risks; to try out new communiction behaviors; share
feelings, and be open about our speech and our lives as people
who stutter.
The NSA has more than 70
local support group chapters all over the United States.
The purpose of local chapters is to provide connections and support
for people who stutter and their families.
Local support groups come
in 3 varieties:
NSAKids groups are
designed for young children who stutter and their parents. This
is a new program for the NSA, and several NSAKids groups
are just getting started around the country.
TWiST (Teens Who Stutter)
groups are designed for teenagers who stutter and their families.
Teen groups help adolescents who stutter meet others who have
faced similar challenges in their lives.
ADULT chapters are designed for adults
who stutter and their families. The Adult chapters
form one of the core programs of the NSA. |

Drug Discount Card Program
www.naco.org
|
The
NACo Prescription Drug Discount Card program was designed for
your uninsured and underinsured county residents. Through
a partnership with Caremark, this simple discount card can save
an average of 20% off the full retail cost of prescription medication.
Here are the key factors that make it a great program;
- It is easy to participate.
There are no enrollment fees, no forms to fill out, no age or
income requirements, and no medical condition restrictions.
The entire family is covered with just one card and virtually
all commonly prescribed medicine is covered;
- There are no costs. There
is no cost to the county, county taxpayers, or consumers to
participate. Caremark negotiates the discounts directly
with participating pharmacies. Neither NACo nor the participating
counties receive any revenue from the program;
- Everyone is eligible. The
discount cards are provided free to residents living in participating
NACo member counties across the country. A national network
of more than 57,000 retail pharmacies honor the card;
- Consumers always receive the lowest retail
price. On occasion, pharmacies will price a particular medication
lower than the discount rate available with the NACo card.
If that occurs, consumers will receive the lower price.
Either way, consumers will always receive the best price available.
