Lori Grubbs, vicepresidenta de la junta directiva de Voluntarios en Medicina de los condados de Dearborn, Ohio y Suiza, dice que la cl\u00ednica gratuita estaba en una encrucijada cuando recibi\u00f3 una subvenci\u00f3n $1,000 de Operation RoundUp del REMC del sureste de Indiana.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u201cNuestro mayor gasto son los laboratorios: gastamos $12,000 este a\u00f1o\u201d, dice ella. \u201cEst\u00e1bamos debatiendo si ten\u00edamos que empezar a cobrar por los laboratorios, y la subvenci\u00f3n fue un regalo del cielo. Necesit\u00e1bamos dinero en ese momento, y la subvenci\u00f3n mantuvo nuestra misi\u00f3n de brindar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica gratuita avanzando\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tener la capacidad de hacer an\u00e1lisis de sangre es vital para los servicios que brinda la cl\u00ednica. \u201cSi la persona no puede hacerse el an\u00e1lisis de sangre, \u00bfc\u00f3mo puedo saber si tiene el colesterol alto?\u201d dice Grubs. \u201cHay personas que han ignorado una condici\u00f3n de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica a largo plazo y luego tienen un evento monumental, como un derrame cerebral debido a la hipertensi\u00f3n o el colesterol alto. O han ignorado el estreptococo, que se trata con un simple antibi\u00f3tico, pero ahora tienen una afecci\u00f3n card\u00edaca a causa de la infecci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Grubbs cuenta acerca de una pareja que visit\u00f3 la cl\u00ednica porque les preocupaba que el esposo pudiera tener c\u00e1ncer. A trav\u00e9s de la atenci\u00f3n y las preguntas del personal voluntario, la pareja sali\u00f3 con atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, alimentos, antibi\u00f3ticos para la neumon\u00eda de la esposa -diagnosticada cuando tos\u00eda y dijo que hab\u00eda estado enferma durante un mes-, medicamentos para el esposo e informaci\u00f3n para nuevas oportunidades laborales.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cLa esposa estaba llorando y abraz\u00e1ndonos\u201d, dice Grubbs. \u201c\u00bfQui\u00e9n hubiera pensado que una llamada telef\u00f3nica ayudar\u00eda a esta pareja de tantas maneras? El impacto simplemente se genera y se vuelve m\u00e1s y m\u00e1s grande\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
De acuerdo con Barry Lauber, quien administra Operation RoundUp de SEI, los miembros redondean su factura mensual de electricidad al d\u00f3lar entero m\u00e1s cercano, lo que promedia alrededor de $6 por a\u00f1o cada uno. Desde el primer desembolso bienal en enero de 2017, la cooperativa ha donado m\u00e1s de $370,000 a causas en su \u00e1rea de servicio de siete condados gracias a la generosidad de sus miembros.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSeis d\u00f3lares por s\u00ed solos no tendr\u00edan un gran impacto, pero cuando lo sumas a otros 20.000 miembros, se suma bastante r\u00e1pido\u201d, dice Lauber.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cOperation RoundUp beneficia a las comunidades en las que viven nuestros consumidores, lo que las convierte en un mejor lugar para vivir y mejora la calidad de vida. No podemos ponerle precio a lo que nuestros miembros est\u00e1n haciendo por sus vecinos y amigos\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Grubbs reitera c\u00f3mo unos pocos d\u00f3lares pueden cambiar la vida de una persona. Una joven visit\u00f3 la cl\u00ednica por un problema respiratorio y termin\u00f3 recibiendo ayuda porque estaba pensando en hacerse da\u00f1o. \u201cEn ese momento, $6 era de vida o muerte para esa ni\u00f1a\u201d, dice Grubbs sobre la contribuci\u00f3n anual de los miembros de SEI. "\u00bfCu\u00e1ntas veces tiramos $6?"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
El gerente general Keith Mathews dice que la junta de subvenciones normalmente tiene m\u00e1s solicitudes de las que puede cumplir, pero aun as\u00ed otorga alrededor de 35 a 40. Ese apoyo a menudo ayuda a los departamentos de bomberos voluntarios y servicios m\u00e9dicos de emergencia, as\u00ed como a organizaciones juveniles, iglesias y agencias enfocadas en salud y seguridad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cHacemos hincapi\u00e9 en retribuir a la comunidad porque estamos comprometidos a retribuir a la comunidad; es una de nuestras prioridades\u201d, dice. \u201cSin nuestra membres\u00eda y su voluntad de dar, nada de esto ser\u00eda posible\u201d.<\/p>\n
