2011 Annual Report
North Coast
Health Ministry
I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining
And I believe in love,
even when there’s no one there.
And I believe in God,
even when he is silent.
I believe through any trial,
there is always a way
But sometimes in this suffering
and hopeless despair
My heart cries for shelter,
to know someone’s there
But a voice rises within me, saying hold on my child, I’ll give you strength,
I’ll give you hope. Just stay a little while.
I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining
And I believe in love
even when there’s no one there
But I believe in God
even when he is silent
I believe through any trial
there is always a way.
May there someday be sunshine
May there someday be happiness
May there someday be love
May there someday be peace....

Dear Friends,
For many of North Coast Health Ministry’s patients, some days it feels like the sun will
never shine. Days when the rent is overdue, there’s not enough money to pay the electric
bill, and the prescription medication they need to control their blood sugar has run out.
Days spent figuring out how to get to and from our clinic for a scheduled appointment
when it’s snowing and the car won’t start. Days dominated by fear that recurring chest
pain may mean another hospitalization that they can’t afford.
For the past quarter century, North Coast Health Ministry has striven to bring a ray of
sunshine to those in our community struggling to maintain hope in the face of unrelenting
challenges. With the help of our volunteers, donors, partner hospitals, supporting
foundations and other community partners, we’ve been a “way” to good health for
families experiencing some extremely difficult trials.
It hasn’t been easy – especially in this time of growing need and scarce financial resources.
What has made our work possible is faith. As Saint Augustine wrote, “Faith is to believe
what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” We have always
believed that we can make a difference in the health and well-being of the low-income
uninsured, and, through our belief, together we have made that possible. On our most
recent survey, 100 percent of our patients reported that their health has improved or
stabilized since they’ve become a patient at North Coast Health Ministry. Many have
been able to return to work as a result of our care.
We hold dear the idea that every person is innately worthy of being treated with dignity
and respect and that the sun is always shining even when we cannot see it.
Sincerely,
John GriffithsLee E. Elmore

Patient Profile
Dean Stamatis
Recently laid off as a public school music
teacher, Dean Stamatis was at a loss on what
to do or where to go when his 12-year old
daughter began experiencing severe stomach
pains and unexplained vomiting. A family
member referred him to North Coast Health
Ministry, where his daughter was examined
and referred for testing.
“When we came here,” says Dean, “we were
assisted in other ways where my daughter could
get medical attention from St. John Medical
Center, including free blood work to find out
what was going on inside of her. This also
prompted the Cleveland Clinic to have a scope
put down her stomach to find the abnormalities
inside. Through North Coast, we were able to
get these other services–which was awesome–at
little or no cost to us.”
Dean says that because he was unemployed,
there was no way he would have been able to
afford the care and testing his daughter needed. “It would have been detrimental to us,” he
says, “but because of North Coast, we were able to get the assistance in these other areas to
find out what was happening with her.”
Dean’s daughter recovered, thanks to the care provided by NCHM and its partner hospitals,
and is now back at school and thriving. Although Dean has recently found two part-time
jobs teaching preschool children, his new jobs do not offer health benefits, and he does not
earn enough to purchase coverage on his own.
“Even though I have two jobs, I’m still in need of your services,” Dean says. “It’s still hard
to get medical coverage. We live paycheck to paycheck still.”
North Coast Health Ministry will continue to be the “medical home” for Dean and his
family until their circumstances improve.
“North Coast Health Ministry has provided a wonderful safe haven for my family,” he says.
“I’m very grateful that we have this.”

NCHM’s 25th Anniversary Commemorated at Silver Celebration Gala
A sell-out crowd of 300 guests feted North Coast Health Ministry’s 25th
anniversary at our Silver Celebration gala at Westwood Country Club on
Thursday, September 1, 2011.
The event, co-chaired by Sandy Haas, Wendy Kieding, and Carol Rini, raised
record proceeds of over $150,000, which represents more than 10 percent of our
agency operating budget. Dr. Russell Elmer, NCHM founder and honorary chair,
flew in from California to be present and kicked off the evening with opening
remarks and reflections.
“It’s humbling to see the community pull together to provide this level of support,”
says Executive Director Lee Elmore. “It’s gratifying to know there are so many
others that share our commitment to providing health care to our low-income
neighbors in need.”
In addition to providing valuable operating support, event proceeds allowed us to
fulfill patient critical needs, such as prescriptions and home health supplies.
At the event the following 2011 award winners were honored:
Community Champion Award: Harry and Sharon Zilli
Partner Award: St. John Medical Center
Hahn/Hoeffler/Sanders Memorial Award for Outstanding
Medical Volunteers: Marvin D. Shie III, MD and Carol Travis, RN, MSN, CNP
Angel Volunteer Award: Dick Heath

Our Treasured Volunteers:
Bringing a Ray of Hope into
the Lives of our Patients
In 2011, 140 volunteer physicians, nurses, social
workers and other laypeople donated their time to
provide care and assistance to our patients. Some
physicians and nurse practitioners come to our clinic on
a volunteer basis to provide care. Others see our patients
in their offices and waive the fee. Non-clinical volunteers
help by screening and enrolling new patients and assisting
in clinic with prescription medication application
processing, making patient reminder calls, linking
patients with specialty referrals, and updating patient
financial information. Other volunteers help with
fundraisers and special projects on an as-needed basis.
Without our valuable network of volunteers, we would
not be able to provide care to as many low-income
uninsured individuals and families as we do today.
Through their contributions, they bring light into
darkness and provide comfort in the trials of our
patients’ lives.

North Coast Health Ministry (NCHM) is a faith-based free clinic serving the
low-income uninsured on Greater Cleveland’s West Side.
With the support of a network of volunteer physicians, nurses and other
caregivers, NCHM provides primary health care, specialty referrals,
prescription assistance, health education and social service benefits access
to the medically underserved.
We strive to be our patients “medical home,” providing a patient-centered
source for preventive care and chronic disease management. We believe
health care is as basic a human need as food, clothing or shelter—especially
for those with chronic illnesses. Over 70 percent of North Coast Health
Ministry’s patients have chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension
and heart disease.
The majority of our patients report that they would have nowhere to go
for care other than the local hospital emergency room if North Coast Health
Ministry were not here. We are grateful for the generosity of our supporters
that enables us to provide essential health services to our medically
underserved neighbors in need.
