Brandywine Health Foundation

2015 Community Report


2/14

Pride. Challenge. Opportunity. All are words associated with theCoatesville community. Our community. Te nine municipalities in the Coatesville Ar

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

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. Teir Vista 2025 stud

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 findin

solutions that will work. You have been our partners in identifying issues that deser

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. An

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. ransformation

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 ar

opportunities to tell others what’s unique and important about our community, like

its rich history. Tat’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 Yea

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. Tank you.

The Alene McDermott Memorial Scholarsh

Fund was established in loving memory of

a talented acoustic guitar player and

vocalist (photo above) who lost her long

battle with breast and ovarian cancers in

2010. To perpetuate her optimistic spirit an

inspirational musicianship, her family and

friends established the fund to provide

scholarships to graduating high school

students from the Coatesville Area High

School who wish to embark on music or

art 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 now

using to craft original music.

“I’m a huge supporter of womenin music,”

says of Mrs. McDermott, “and I am extreme

honored and humbled that I’ve been given

such a vote of confidence.”

When Ronjae Jones was selected as the fou

recipient of the foundation’s Harry Lewis Jr

Scholarship Award, he said that State Rep.

Harry Lewis “has affected my life, as a manrole model and leader. I don’tjust carry

myself; I carry my family and my communi

with me wherever I go. I represent Coatesvi

and I do my best to represent it as the good

city that it is.”

Jones, who credits the Coatesville Youth

Initiative for instilling him with self-

confidence and insight, is now a freshman

majoring in cinema and television at

Morehouse 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 whereto send those in need.”

—Alyson Ferguson, MPH

Scattergood Foundation

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

Te counselors and cafeteria workersfelt 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 acutecrisis,” says Linda Tompson 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 Tomas Scattergood

Behavioral Health Foundation’s

grant-making director. “Tis trainingempowers 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.”

raining 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

Te most dramatic improvements:

• Te percentage of trainees who

correctly believe “You should aska youth who tells you they are

thinking about suicide whether

they have a plan to do so”

increased from 47 percent to 93

percent.

• Te 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.

Te 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 ransportation 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 Te National Iron

& Steel Heritage Museum. Te Coatesville City Council endorsed the effort, which was

made possible with generous contributions from the presenting sponsor, CoatesvilleSavings 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 tononprofits. Te 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

his past year, the foundation

assisted with and made a $30,000

grant to the Coatesville Center

for Community Health’s capitalcampaign to renovate and repair

the building and grounds. enants

such as the Domestic Violence

Center and Family Service rely

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 Tompson, 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, Tompson 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 Tompson. “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 Tompson not to be unduly concerned and

to call if she started getting false labor contractions—both of

which Tompson 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 ask 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 herprenatal care program.

“It was right in town and it was convenient,” says Tompson,

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.

Te 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 who

we are fortunate to work each year. Tis past year we also held

party for many school district alumni to raise the last dollars fo

the Campaign for Coatesville’s Kids.

Our volunteers and the thousands of people who came out to enj

one or more of our events enabled us this past year to provide

$250,968 in funding for nonprofit organizations and programsthat support a healthy, safe and vibrant Coatesville area.

Kathleen Deets-Price and

The Very Rev. Stephen Price

T

he 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. “Te 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.”

Tis 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.”

F

red ravaglini’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. ravaglini, who is vice president of Carlson’s

properties group, is currently a BHF board member and

co-chair of its Planned Giving Committee.

Trough the Gunard Berry Carlson Memorial Foundation—

named for his mother’s late brother—the family has

supported numerous BHF initiatives. Tese include

establishing an endowed nursing student scholarship and

supporting such programs as the Coatesville Youth Initiativ

and the Youth Mental Health First Aid program.

“Our question regarding donations is always, ‘What’s my

return on investment?’” says ravaglini. “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. Te 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 ofthis 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 ravaglini, 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 herdaughter-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. Tey are deeply missed by the board, staff and all of ushere at the Brandywine Health Foundation.
