Event/Project: Medical Mission Trip
Location: Dominican Republic
Date: June 6-22 and July 7-26
Time: 2 weeks
Purpose of Event/Project: University of Kentucky Medical Missions organization is going on a 2 week
medical mission trip organized through Medical Ministry International. All UK students are invited to be
involved with UK Medical Missions even if they are not a medical professions major, so this trip is open
to anyone interested in going on a mission trip. We went on a similar trip last year and served hundreds
of impovrished patients in Peru through surgeries, clinic visits, prescribing medications, health
promotion, and spiritual guidance. 13 members will be going in June and 10 members will be going in
July. The "trip fee" is $1550 per person and the flight cost is estimated between $650- $800 per person.
Total Cost: 50000
Org funds used: Each year we collect $10 from each member that would like to be actively involved in
UK Medical Missions. We fundraise throughout the year for our group through t-shirt sales, restaurant
nights and bake sales. Members are also encouraged to personally fundraise through our candle sales
(each member that participated raises a different amount) and personal letter drives. We extend these
letters to local businesses as well.
Detailed Description of Request: We have 23 members of UK Medical Missions going to the Dominican
Republic in June and July. Each general helper is required to fundraise $1550 for the two week trip.
Flights in June are around $700 and flights in July are around $800. We would greatly appreciate if
Student Government could provide funding that would assist Medical Mission's effort to make this trip
successful. We plan to put the funding towards our overall group fundraising amount and divide equally
between each of the 23 volunteers to help them financially.

Phone: (513)708-8518
Purpose of Org: The University of Kentucky’s Salvation Army Clinic currently serves the homeless underand un-insured populations of Fayette County and its surrounding areas. Despite the advent of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the female homeless population still faces
difficulties with gaining access to life-saving women’s health services. Our recent partnership with UK’s
Pathology Department has afforded the opportunity to not only provide these services to an underserved population, but also to expand medical student familiarity with basic primary care procedures
that are not extensively offered in the early medical school curriculum. Our mission is to offer pap
smears/cervical cancer screenings, rapid STI testing, and informational materials at our clinic to improve
both our patients’ and our students’ understanding.
Type of Grant: Service Grant ($1,500)
Event/Project: UK SAC Women's Clinic
Location: 736 W Main St, Lexington, KY 40508
Date: Ongoing
Time: Ongoing
Purpose of Event/Project: The requested funding would help fund our clinic’s pap smear readings, and
would be used to expand our sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. Currently, there are no free
options available for the uninsured residents of Fayette County to access STI testing. We would like to
begin to incorporate these services into the clinic, as this would greatly benefit the public health needs
of the homeless population. Many rapid tests are available for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia that are easy
to use and still implement a high sensitivity and specificity. Our medical student volunteers could easily
be trained to use these tests, and it would further increase the role and number of first year volunteers
during clinic nights.
Additionally, the requested funding would allow us to greatly increase our educational resources for
the population. Knowledge and counseling are two of the most powerful tools we can use in medicine to
help decrease the spread of STIs and provide awareness of breast and cervical cancers. As a free clinic,
we have the unique opportunity to address high-risk populations, and would like to greatly renovate and
increase our educational materials to effectively reach as many people as possible. This will involve
ordering and creating pamphlets on matters such as breast self-exams, sexually transmitted diseases,
and information related to intimate partner violence and sexual abuse.
Total Cost: $2,750
Org funds used: UK Department of Pathology- discounted pap smear readings
Detailed Description of Request: 1.) Pap smears/cervical cancer screening supplies.

Type of Grant: Service Grant ($1,500)
Event/Project: Diabetes Prevention, Intervention, and Self Care
Location: Salvation Army Clinic
Date: Ongoing
Time: Ongoing
Purpose of Event/Project: Within the state of Kentucky, diabetes rates are rising considerably. Recent
studies have shown that over 10% of our population is living with diabetes. In Fayette county, 9.5% of
our fellow citizens have been diagnosed with this disease which calculates to over 21,000 people. The
Salvation Army Clinic is dedicated to the care of the most underserved of our neighbors.
The Student Run Salvation Army Clinic has seen 574 patients since August 2013, an average of 70 per
month. Over 12% of these patients are being seen for maintenance of their diabetes including blood
glucose testing and medication (clinic logs 8/6/13-4/9/14). According to Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention guidelines, best practices for diabetes management and complication prevention include
regular HbA1c testing, diabetes self-management classes and most importantly self-monitoring of blood
glucose. Blood glucose self-monitoring includes the purchase of expensive testing supplies the most
expensive being glucometers and test strips. In order to help manage diabetes in our patient population
we hope to use funds provided by the Student Government Association help lessen this burden. This will
be accomplished by distributing One Touch Ultra Mini glucose meters and test strips to patients with a
history of uncontrolled diabetes after receiving education from our student interviewers. By
standardizing how we manage our patients’ diabetes we will empower them with the ability to care for
their diabetes independently. In a recent study at the University of Maryland the impact of patient
intervention and education in an underserved primarily Hispanic population led to a greater
understanding of and self-management of their diabetes (Congdon et.al 2013). We hope to see this
same improvement in response to our efforts.
Total Cost: $1,379.56
Org funds used: Currently the clinic relies on the Department of Family Medicine for general operations
at the clinic. This fund is unable to cover the cost associated with distribution of glucose meters and test
strips. However, this fund is able to cover lancets, alcohol swabs and the medication needed to
distribute to these patients.
Detailed Description of Request: One Touch Ultra Blue Test Strips ($144.99/100): 400 needed for
startup program=$579.96
One Touch Ultra Mini glucose meters $19.99/meter- 40 needed for distribution=$799.60
