HCB2 funds colorectal cancer screening to medically underserved and uninsured individuals across Virginia. HCB2 purchases FIT screening kits for patients and testing strips for medical staff to facilitate the screening of patients. Educational resources for clinics and their patients are also provided as well as staff training and technical support. Over 6,500 patients have been screened in a timely manner for colorectal cancer since the program's inception in 2017 due to HCB2's Free Clinic FIT Screening program. 13546 0 32456 Colon Health Education and Support Services: HCB2 continues to provide education and resources through both in-person and virtual events in partnership with community groups and employers. Thousands have been educated either directly or virtually through our "Can We Talk?" presentations and appearances with our popular and entertaining large inflatable colon. Providing various educational resources to engage people in a deeper level of conversation about colon health and help people move from awareness to action is a large focus of our community education. HCB2 continues to provide Healing Belly Basket delivery to cancer patients and survivors. A travel-sized, mail- friendly version of the basket was also created to deliver educational support and resources to patients and survivors outside of the delivery service area. Over 250 baskets and travel-sized versions have been provided to those in need. The basket includes information about each nutritional item, each of which is shown through research to increase gut health, boost the immune system, and contribute to overall health and wellbeing. In addition, we continue to include the HCB2 "anti- inflammatory" grocery list in the baskets. The grocery list is also distributed at community presentations, and the information is downloadable on the HCB2.org website. After completing cancer treatment, patients are left with little information about how to support their health through every day nutritional choices. The nutritional education efforts delivered through the HCB2 Healing Belly Basket program helps to provide restoration and wellness. 29659 3492 32753 Reaching Younger Population: Hitting Cancer Below the Belt's Junior Board consisting of high school students has expanded from six area high schools to eight high schools throughout the country. The group continues to meet monthly through Zoom meetings. The Junior Board members are interested in educating and inspiring their peers and community in an effort to improve colon health and prevent young people's diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The members help in the planning, creation of content, and marketing of messages and activities to better reach the Generation Z community. This generation of young people are 2x more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer and 4x more likely to be diagnosed with rectal cancer. Research reveals by 2030 colorectal cancer will be the number one cause of cancer death in the 20-39 year old population. To prevent this disease, awareness needs to be raised, education must be given, and proactive lifestyle behaviors must be engaged. High school students are equipped to reach their peers in unique ways and the Junior Crew is an asset to HCB2. The students also receive numerous benefits which include obtaining community service hours, pride in giving back to the community, opportunities to shadow Board members, becoming educated about colon health, and becoming a stand out on college applications. In addition, HCB2 has been able to visit schools with their large inflatable colon during outdoor evening athletic games to stimulate gut health conversations and distribute educational resources. 120573 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 0 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Susan Hebel 8043340575 13801 Turtle Hill Rd Midlothian VA 23112 Melinda M Conklin-Cassem MS MEd Executive Director 35.00 X X X X 45000 0 0 Renee Malone MPH Program Director 20.00 X X 29120 0 0 Roger Cassem MEd Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ryan Bouldin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Chuquin MD Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shanna Joseph Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Cam Bowen CPA Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Antonio Miller Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Vorenberg MD Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine Faina LCSW Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thom Kirby Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Khalid Matin MD Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brittney Conklin Community Engagement Mgr 10.00 X 1590 0 0 Susan M Hebel CPA RVA Fractional Accounting 1.00 X 3638 0 0 79348 0 0 false false false 35484 35484 140481 0 0 140481 175965 140481 0 0 74120 53417 8290 12413 5670 4086 634 950 410 0 410 0 1700 0 1700 0 4328 0 4328 0 1200 0 0 1200 2918 0 2918 0 5029 0 5029 0 1665 0 1665 0 Early Detection/Prevention 19865 19865 0 0 Colon Health Education/Support 13546 13546 0 0 Reaching Younger Population 29659 29659 0 0 160110 120573 24974 14563 73391 89246 73391 89246 0 0 X 73391 89246 73391 89246 73391 89246 15855 X false false false X 0 26728 30856 13908 31222 38976 141690 0 0 26728 30856 13908 31222 38976 141690 0 141690 0 0 85110 63373 77608 113612 140481 480184 621874 0.22780 0.23500 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 17a HCB2 actively promotes fundraising; the organization has a governing body comprised of various professionals who do represent the interests of the mission and the public; the organization does provide services for the general public to educate and support.
