1 Insure the Uninsured Project, “Riverside Trend Data”
Dear Friend,
We would like to kick off this 2012 Annual Report of the Riverside Community Health Foundation (RCHF) by saying thank you! Largely
due to your guidance and generosity, Riverside Community Health Foundation celebrated its 15th birthday in 2012. This milestone could
not have been achieved without your constant support.
As we compiled this report, it was gratifying to see the tremendous progress we’ve achieved in our first 15 years. We opened our doors
in 1997 with just four employees. Today, RCHF has over 30 staff members that help facilitate nearly 100,000 health interventions each
year. When our Miles of Smiles Elementary Dental Program began in 2001, it was in only one school. Today, the program is in nearly
40 elementary schools and reaches over 25,000 children a year. We’ve also opened two community clinics since we began that
provide more than 35,000 patient visits each year and we’ve developed programs that reach everyone from babies to seniors. In total,
RCHF has invested over $42 million into the community through our grants and services and provided over 800,000 interventions in the
past 15 years. We encourage you to take a look at the timeline on the following pages to see all that we have accomplished together!
While our 15th birthday gave us a good reason to reflect on our past in 2012, our eyes remain ever on the future of access to healthcare
and health education in our area. The most important statistic to us in 2012 does not come from our grant totals or program counts, but
rather the estimated 28% of uninsured residents of Riverside County that will have increased access to health insurance and healthcare
thanks to the landmark Affordable Care Act (ACA) which was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2012.1 We understand that there is a
long, and possibly difficult, road ahead as the ACA is gradually implemented. We’re preparing our community clinics for the influx of visits
they should experience because of the ACA and working with our partners to ensure the smoothest transition possible for the people who
will come under our care.
As always, we remain passionately committed to addressing the most pertinent health needs in our communities. In the following pages,
you’ll learn how we partnered with the City of Riverside and Kaiser Permanente to fight obesity through the Start R.I.G.H.T. Challenge,
were awarded our largest grant to date to provide teens with important health education, and saw our community come together to raise
an incredible amount of funds for transportation at our clinics.
We look forward to working with you in 2013 and thank you for allowing us to promote your health and well-being these past 15 years.
In health,
Dr. Dan Anderson Joseph P. Barr
President/CEO Chairman of the Board

The clinic in Arlanza was strategically placed. In
the population it serves, many have no insurance, no
transportation and very little money though they work
hard -- the clinic is critical. When you or your child is sick
it means dad may miss crucial hours at work or children
miss school and may fall behind when they need school
most. The clinic is such a service -- we are all grateful
for the generosity of many and the foresight of those at
RCHF.
~ Councilmember Nancy Hart, Ward 6
The mission and efforts of RCHF can be phrased quite
simply; make it available, make it affordable and make
it fun. It is the formula that has helped them connect and
establish everlasting relationships throughout the city and
amongst the people. This is a foundation that has truly
entrenched itself within the community. The services that
they provide year round are truly unparalleled, and for
that - we the City of Riverside, thank RCHF for choosing
to serve this region and improve the quality of life for our
residents
~ Councilmember Andy Melendrez, Ward 2
I’m not simply glad you’ve been here for 15 years,
but thank you for the difference you have made in so
many lives in our city. We are a better city because
of the 15 years of work of the Riverside Community
Health Foundation.
~ Ron Loveridge, Former Mayor of Riverside
Leaders share their thoughts on RHC
The City of Riverside stands with Start R.I.G.H.T. in
support of a healthy lifestyle – through education;
access to fitness, health, and wellness programs;
and by building a strong health network. Our
community is working together to achieve a
common goal – that’s the Riverside Way!
~ Rusty Bailey, Mayor of Riverside
The funding Riverside Community Health
Foundation’s grant program provides not only
improves the health of our community, but has a
significant impact on the local business community.
By granting over $2 million each year, RCHF helps
nonprofits fund new, innovative programs; allows
local hospitals to update their equipment to remain
competitive and on the cutting-edge of medical
technology; and, in general, raises the bar on
healthcare services offered in this area.
~ Cindy Roth, President/CEO of the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce
The work of the Riverside Community Health
Foundation is vital to the health of people living
in Riverside through expanding access to primary
medical care and providing health information that
improves the well-being of our community. The UCR
School of Medicine is proud to be a partner with the
foundation in these important goals.
~ G. Richard Olds, M.D., Vice Chancellor of Health Affairs & Dean, UCR School of Medicine
C F and its impact on the Community
At RCHF, we envision a world where everyone has access to quality healthcare.
Knowing you and your family are able to receive cutting-edge, compassionate medical and dental care at a price you can afford brings peace of mind like few other things can. We work to bring this peace of mind and stability to some of Riverside’s most vulnerable populations through our clinics and health service programs, which specialize in providing culturally-competent care at a low cost.

Community Clinics
Our Eastside Health Center and
Arlanza Family Health Center are
strategically placed in underserved
neighborhoods to provide a medical
home for community residents. In
2011, we transitioned to a new clinic
operator for both clinics – Borrego
Health. We are happy to report
patient satisfaction and quality of care
continues to improve under the new
leadership. Borrego has listened to
its patients and brought new services
that greatly elevate the care our clinics
are able to provide. Our clinics now
offer OB/GYN, internal medicine, and
cardiology services, and are looking
to bring in x-ray capabilities and
open an adult dental clinic within the
next year. Borrego has also created
innovative solutions to fill healthcare
gaps, like offering shuttle service to
and from appointments for patients
with disabilities or difficulties accessing
transportation.
Miles of Smiles Elementary Dental Program (MOS)
Twelve years after we first launched
our MOS program, the need for
children’s oral health services remains
high. According to a recent report
from CMS,1 California has one of
the nation’s lowest rates of children
who receive dental care. Our MOS
program closes the dental care gap
for families in need by providing free
dental health education, screenings,
and sealant placement in our area
schools. The school-based approach
effectively cuts out the middleman –
parents do not need to request time
off from work, find transportation,
or have dental insurance for their
children to receive preventative oral
health services. Our MOS program
is in almost 40 area schools, and is
carried out by our team of registered
dental hygienists and assistants and the
program’s dentist, Dr. Yvette Felipe.
Health In Motion
Health In Motion is a 38-foot mobile
clinic that works to provide a medical
home for Riverside’s homeless. A 2011
report from Riverside County,2 counted
6,203 homeless in our county, and of
those 30% report having a physical
disability, 31% report suffering from a
mental illness, and 29% report having
a chronic health problem. Though
their need for medical services is
high, homeless populations often
have difficulties accessing care due
to lack of documentation, insurance,
and information. The vehicle, which is
funded in part by RCHF and operated
by Path of Life Ministries and its
partner Health to Hope Clinics, offers
a solution to the homeless healthcare
crisis by providing primary and
preventive medical care, screenings,
chronic disease management,
prescription refills, and much more. In
2012, the vehicle was at 10 Riverside
sites on a regular basis.

From babies to seniors, RCHF is dedicated to providing innovative and comprehensive health education for our community. We believe that knowledge is power when it comes to making healthy behavior changes, so we provide a variety of programs to help people build healthy-living skills. In 2012, our Health Education and Community Outreach Department facilitated the following programs:
Project S.H.A.R.P. (Senior Health Advocacy, Revitalization, and Promotion) provides
education and community resources to help those
55 and better improve and maintain their quality of
life. In 2012, Project S.H.A.R.P. operated at 11 sites in
Riverside.
R.I.G.H.T. Steps, which was developed by our
Director of Health Education for the Janet Goeske
Senior Center, made its debut in 2012. The program
focuses on healthy eating and active living for seniors,
while addressing specific challenges seniors face
in doing both such as limited mobility or restricted
budgets.
Follow the Leader Guiding Families to Healthy
Living is a program that provides education, in English
and Spanish, to parents of Head Start/Preschool
students about how to make healthy choices for
their families. RCHF also developed an elementary
curriculum of the program in 2012 that will be
implemented in four AUSD schools in the next year.

Our Health Seminars provide health education and
prevention information for the community, as well as
offer a unique opportunity for the public to hear from
leading physicians in their field without having to make
an appointment. This year’s seminar topics included
women’s health, heart health, and men’s health, and
each seminar was followed by a skill-building workshop.
Our Promotor/Community Outreach Program works closely with our communities to make sure that
we are providing classes and information the community
both wants and needs. Our outreach staff also provides
health education -- covering topics like heart health,
mental health, diabetes management, and much more
-- and offers exercise classes -- Zumba®, Tai-Chi, and the
Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program -- at local parks and
community centers.
Our three Health Fairs –Arlanza Community Fair,
Eastside Community Fair, and Troth Street Elementary
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds Community Health Fair
– bring together community members and over 200 local
nonprofits and health-related agencies for a day of family
fun, health education, screening, community resources,
and exercise demos. In addition, RCHF was represented
at over 40 additional health fairs throughout 2012.

Spotlight: Start R.I.G.H.T.
How do you encourage an entire city to get healthy? We thought long and hard about this question, and then we partnered with key health stakeholders in the area, local businesses, and the City of Riverside to create the Start R.I.G.H.T. (Riverside Is Getting Healthy Together) Campaign and Challenge.
Start R.I.G.H.T. is a city-wide, healthy-living initiative that aims to increase health knowledge and access to fitness and nutrition opportunities to Riverside residents through fitfreshfunriverside.com and a yearly healthy-living challenge. Ultimately, Start R.I.G.H.T. was created to address the need for a systematic approach to improve the overweight and obesity rates of residents of Riverside. The percentage of adults in Riverside that are overweight or obese is 55; the Start R.I.G.H.T. campaign is working towards getting that percentage down to 50 over the next five years.
The ChallengeThis past September we partnered with local fitness providers, including Room to Dance Studio, Karla Adams Fitness Corporation, T3 Fitness Energy, and many more to hold the first-ever Start R.I.G.H.T. Challenge, which was funded in part by Kaiser Permanente. The free Challenge was held from September 15 to November 17. During the challenge participants received access to exercise classes through RCHF and our partners, as well as nutrition and health education classes. Participants had the option to log their exercise and BMI, weight, and waist circumference measurements on fitfreshfunriverside.com or on the official paper MyPassport provided at the beginning of the Challenge.
Ninety-six participants signed-up for the Challenge this year. Of those, 92 used the online MyPassport tool to log over 911 activities during the Challenge months. This year’s grand prize $500 winner was Charles Spitler, who lost 25 pounds during the Challenge. Maria Alejandra Torres and Lana Goffman each won $300 for participating in the most Start R.I.G.H.T. activities and logging the most exercise during the Challenge.
We were thrilled with the enthusiasm and excitement participants had for the Challenge, said Stephanie Smith, Director of Health Education for RCHF and Chair of the Start R.I.G.H.T. Challenge. We are looking forward to growing the Challenge next year!
Next year, we hope to double our number of participants in the Challenge and revamp our communications and programming to motivate participants to complete the entire challenge.
RCHF is committed to helping area teens have successful futures by providing programs with a unique blend of health education, emotional wellness strategies, and career development. Providing teen health education and youth development opportunities has been an area of emphasis for RCHF since the early 2000s. We understand that true well-being goes far beyond physical health, especially for adolescents who are at a crucial point in their mental and emotional development. In 2012, RCHF Health Educators taught the following teen health and youth development programs:
Teen Health Services
RUSD Mandated ProgrammingThrough a partnership with RUSD, our health educators teach
three classes -- Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Male and
Female Reproductive Health, and HIV/AIDS and Sexually
Transmitted Infection Education – to every freshmen in the district.
Project X-MenProject -Men helps young men make healthier life choices and
redefine themselves in a more positive way by teaching health
education, how to build healthy relationships, how to apply for a
job, and how to present themselves at an interview.
Project T.R.U.S.T.Project T.R.U.S.T. (Teaching Responsibility, Understanding, Self
Resiliency, and Tolerance) aims to provide education to help
teens achieve overall wellness through education on STI/HIV
and pregnancy prevention, violence and self-injury prevention,
nutrition, and career development.
Peer to PeerThe Peer to Peer program provides youth with training to become
peer educators in their schools and communities. Six students
received training in 2012, and two of those students went on to
become Peer Advocates, a stipend position with the Foundation.
Our Peer Advocates help facilitate the Teen Clinics at our two
community clinics.
Young Men’s ConferenceNow in its fifth year, our annual Keeping it Real Young Men’s
Conference works to show young men that the obstacles they
face are surmountable and they play an important role in the
prosperity of their community. The event provides a safe-space
for young men to meet with area business leaders, city officials,
and law enforcement -- groups that too often meet in conflict -- to
discuss and explore career and academic options.

Spotlight: PREP Grant
One of our major successes in 2012 was receiving a $1.9
million grant to expand our teen health services. It’s the largest
grant RCHF has ever been awarded!
In May of 2012, RCHF was awarded a $1.9 million Personal
Responsibility and Education Program (CA PREP) grant.
Thanks to the grant, which will fund programming through
2015, RCHF had the opportunity to expand its teen health
and youth development services outside of the City of
Riverside for the first time.
The City of Perris and Mead Valley suffer high rates of teen
pregnancy and STDs and lack many community resources,
which is why we chose to direct our services there, said
Maune Vaca, one of RCHF’s Health Educators who will be
working on the grant. Along with the area of Perris, Moreno
Valley, and Mead Valley, RCHF will focus its programming in
the Ramona High School area of Riverside.
Through the grant, RCHF will be implementing the Be Proud
Be Responsible curriculum in 13-15 community settings,
including schools and youth-serving agencies. The curriculum
aims to provide adolescents with the knowledge, motivation,
and skills necessary to change their behaviors in ways that
will reduce their risk of pregnancy or contracting HIV and
other sexually transmitted infections. This program was chosen
because it had strong evaluated outcomes and addressed
the top three concerns among youth --HIV, STI and Teen
Pregnancy. RCHF’s goal is to provide education to 1,530
teens annually with the new programming.
We’re excited for this challenge, and the wealth of
programming this grant will provide, said Stephanie Smith,
Director of Heath Education for RCHF.
RCHF was also able to greatly expand its Health Education
Staff with the new grant dollars. Four new health educators
and a program analyst were hired in 2012, and RCHF is
looking to add a program assistant in 2013.
Together we are stronger. Partnership and collaboration are at the center of everything we do as an organization. We know our work is strengthened by leveraging our assets, learning best practices from experts in our field, avoiding duplication of services, and sharing resources to make our programs and services have the most impact possible. RCHF led the following collaborations and partnerships in 2012:
Partnerships & Collaborations
Community Health Advisory (50 Members)Created in 2004, this group brings together nonprofits,
schools, law enforcement, and governmental agencies
to discuss community needs, and review and make
suggestions for improvements for RCHF’s programs and
services.
Inland Empire Health Educators Alliance (60 Members) Created in 2011, this group brings health educators
together to identify gaps and work together to reach
other populations.
Riverside Challenges of Youth Coalition (26 Members) Created in 2004, this coalition focuses on teen health
issues, youth development, and teen pregnancy
prevention.
Riverside Community Diabetes Collaborative (40 Members)Created in 2007, this group brings together
organizations to strengthen community programs and
services for the prevention and management of diabetes
in Riverside.
Inland Empire Coalition for Health (150 Members) Created in 2007, this group works to engage key multi-
disciplinary stakeholders in the community in outreach
and education to policy makers with the goal of
improving funding and health resources.
Eastside Community Health Partnership (65 Members) Created in 2000, this group works as a bridge from the
Eastside Health Center to nonprofits, schools, and the
City of Riverside to coordinate services.
Eastside Community Resident Group (25 Attendees) Created in 2012, this group engages Eastside residents
to create a more united community, develop leadership,

Center.
West urupa alley Collaborative
(40 Members) Created in 2012, ths group focuses on wellness of the
heart, mind, body, and soul in the City of Jurupa Valley.
Spotlight: RCDC Turns 5
RCHF isn’t the only one celebrating a milestone birthday this year. Our Riverside Community Diabetes Collaborative (RCDC) turned five years old in February of 2012.
RCDC was born out of the Foundation’s health initiative focused on diabetes, and aimed to bring agencies together in order to maximize diabetes resources and minimize duplication of services. The Collaborative approach has proved to be a smashing success – the group is now comprised of over 40 health and wellness organizations that meet monthly!
RCDC holds numerous U.S. Diabetes Conversation Map Classes ® throughout the City of Riverside and Moreno Valley. The small, medical-professional led classes provide a safe-space for people with diabetes and their caregivers to come together and learn how to properly manage the disease.
I believe the Collaborative tremendously reduces the duplication of services and efforts, and seeks to combine not only the resources but talents and skill sets of its members. It has been an effective and valuable partnership for the American Diabetes Association, said RCDC member Liz Jinks, Associate Director, American Diabetes Association- Greater San Diego Area.
I feel more supported in the care of my diabetes [after attending the class], one participant said.
In addition to the Conversation Map Classes®, RCDC has worked to create public awareness of diabetes by concentrating numerous events and programs in November, which is National Diabetes Month, including a yearly seminar focusing on emotional well-being for people with diabetes, a Think Blue, Wear Blue contest, and more!
2012 was a year of exponential growth for RCDC. RCHF added a full-time, bilingual, diabetes educator and outreach worker to help expand RCDC’s programs. The group also launched its own website at rcdc.rchf.org to serve as a clearinghouse for diabetes information in the area. And, a very special new member joined the RCDC team – Tommy Test Strip, a life-sized version of the RCDC mascot.
We granted over $2.1 million through 31 grants in 2012. Our grantees further the mission of RCHF by providing access to both healthcare and education for underserved and uninsured populations within Riverside and Jurupa Valley.
GrantsSpotlight: Creating healthcare access for the disabled For adults with disabilities, finding healthcare that is appropriate to their needs, accessible, respects their dignity and promotes their independence is both a difficult and complicated search. This year we partnered with Riverside County Regional Medical Center (RCRMC) and the developing UCR School of Medicine to fund the new Access Clinic that aims to fill this need and improve health outcomes for this vulnerable population.
As simple as it may sound, healthcare services for the disabled are not always that accessible, said Dr. Scott Allen, medical director of the Access Clinic and associate clinical professor in the UCR School of Medicine.
The Access Clinic is a primary care clinic that uses the patient-centered medical home model of care to more efficiently coordinate medical treatment between adult disabled patients, their family and caregivers, their primary care physician and specialists.
It currently operates eight half-days each week Monday through Friday and is accepting new patients. The clinic is housed within the Family Medicine Clinic at RCRMC and is staffed by Dr. Allen, Dr. Emma Simmons, associate dean for student affairs in the UCR medical school, and Melissa Seinturier, a nurse case manager.
The Access Clinic currently accepts adults with chronic disabilities – such as cerebral palsy, developmental delay, Down’s syndrome, quadriplegia, autism, and disabling mental health conditions – who are covered by the Inland Empire Health Plan.

Annual CelebrationThis year’s Annual Celebration, Cruisin’ Under the Stars, brought together over 5 0 of RCHF’s supporters for dinner, a car show, live music, winetasting, and silent and live auctions. The event raised over $110,000 for our two causes -- clinic transportation and vision care. We are happy to report that we’ve been able to purchase a vehicle to provide our clinic patients transportation to and from their appointments with funds raised at the event, and have money left over to improve vision care for children at our clinics --THANK YOU!
Without your generous
donation of time, talent, and
funds, we could not do the
work that we do. Thank you
to our supporters, partners,
donors and friends.
We are lucky to live and
serve a community of
truly generous individuals.
Nowhere is this generosity
more evident than at our
Annual Celebration.
