Community Outreach: Our website provides community outreach with educational and information support at diagnosis and beyond by sharing assistance for next steps, which decreases the fear and distress associated with any phase of a cancer diagnosis. Our outreach efforts are focused on building relationships that help us reach the people we need to serve in our rural communities of Southwest Colorado. These include promoting awareness of our organization, participating in Health 365 in Ignacio, which is within the Southern Ute Tribal Nation, and a Gynecological Cancer Awareness at Farmers Market, all which help to decrease barriers to health and supportive care, and recommended screenings for early cancer detection. All expenses incurred with these programs are related to a portion of our facility expenses, marketing, social media, salaries, and website updates. 17172 Nurse Navigation: Our oncology certified nurse navigator provides our navigation program. Because we exist in an under resourced area, our navigator plays a crucial role in helping participants decrease their distress by identifying the resources and supportive care needs they and their loved ones may face throughout their experience. These services exist not only to augment the care they receive in a clinical setting, but also to access mental health, medical, and extraneous supportive care. People hear of us mainly by word of mouth, media, the Internet, and from print collateral that we have distributed throughout Southwest Colorado, through libraries, health-related agencies, businesses, and faith communities. We can be reached via telephone, e-mail, through our website, or by personal office visits. We had 723 navigation and survivorship contacts in 2023, which was an increase of 127.3% over FY 2022. Some of our expenses were for the navigators salary, books for our lending library, office and printing supplies, and a portion of our facility cost. The feedback we receive from the people we serve is consistently positive, as all these programs are filling a huge gap in our rural regions, particularly for the plethora of participants who are treated for their cancer, out of necessity, elsewhere. 18188 Survivorship programming These programs provide no-cost emotional and social support for people with cancer and their families, and consist of educational workshops, healthy lifestyle classes, and social activities, which provide emotional support and decrease social isolation. In 2023, these consisted of 22 breast cancer networking group meetings, 11 head and neck cancer survivor group meetings, 40 restorative yoga classes, four mountain hikes, and a Hike for Hope social event. Our programs combine social connection, companionship, and physical activities in nature, all of which create an environment that encourages participants to improve their quality of life as they are facing the multitude of issues presented by living with and beyond cancer. 27003 62363 Rosemary Juskevich Chair 1.50 0 Charlie Speno Vice Chair 1.00 0 Daryl Erickson Treasurer 1.00 0 Carroll Groeger Secretary 1.00 0 Karen Wallace Director 1.00 0 Erin Clarkinson Director 1.00 0 Nora Flucke Director 1.00 0 Toni Abbey RN OCN ONN-CG Executive Dir. 40.00 9384 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Toni Marie Abbey 1701 Main Ave Ste C Durango CO 813015033 9704033711 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 36155 65150 151253 47887 154462 454907 0 0 36155 65150 151253 47887 154462 454907 193900 261007 68 87 95 227 759 1236 -789 -452 26089 24848 0 480991 0.54260 0.98730 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Magic of Hope fundraiser 29959 576 29383 2806 488 29959 576 29383 2806 488 3294 26089 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $10 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $807 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $4055 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $1983 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $1287 Other Expenses.1 Inkind supplies $3006 Other Expenses.2 Small Furniture & Fixtures $2778 Other Expenses.3 Partner License Fee $2500 Other Expenses.4 Telephone $965 Other Expenses.5 Professional Development $871 Other Expenses.6 Food and Drink $682 Other Expenses.7 Event expenses $576 Other Expenses.8 Books & Collateral for Program $508 Other Expenses.9 Supplies $464 Other Expenses.10 Miscellaneous expenses $381 Other Expenses.11 Equipment Repairs $289 Other Expenses.13 Gifts $156 Other Expenses.15 Permits, Licenses & Filing Fee $52 Other Assets.1 Security deposit - Beginning $1350 Security deposit - Ending $1350 Donated Services Toni Abbey, OCN, ONN-CG in her roles as Executive Director and Oncology Nurse navigator.
