The Uzuhs have learned first hand the limited capacity of public healthcare
provisions in the United States and have initiatives of their own, formulated
through the Rosy Health Foundation as mechanisms to empower individuals
in the community with training that would enable them to assist families
constrained by the need for assisted living, as well as their neighbors.
Their effort is five-pronged and goes as follows:
Family wide care training – RHCF uses CPR and
EMT training as a basis to empower and encourage communities to come to
the aid of their aging and need-based neighbors with expertise and empathy.
Under the guidance of licensed trained professional healthcare providers
and specialists, this non-profit is offering medical training, education,
health fairs and stipends to people looking to aid family members, neighbors
and other people living in their communities, cities and regions. RHF
aims to facilitate a quota of applicants interested in achieving CPR training,
as well as other preventative health methods. CPR courses charge anywhere
from $35 to $350 which can be a deterrent to interested parties.
EMT Class School stipends – Provide scholarships
for parties in the communities interested in undergoing the entire training
process of becoming an emergency medical technician. The initiative is
to increase scholarship distribution yearly, but by beginning with a decent
base of 5 scholarships.
Neighborly volunteers –Through an outreach part
of their church, the founders of RHF are also developing a database of
volunteers interested in assisting their neighbors in even the most basic
of tasks in a home care situation, anything from food shopping, baby-sitting
to writing checks for bills. Local area churches in Austin have been providing
the Uzuhs with information and support regarding their homebound parishioners
for years. In alliance with these churches, Rosy Health Care Foundation
intends to offer family relief throughout the community.
The 911 Alternative – Thousands of people dial
911 for emergency care because they have no other way to acquire proper
healthcare. By making provisions for this population with alternative,
supplementary healthcare for severely indigent or needy cases, pressure
is taken off the 911 response team to aid cases that are more appropriate
for an everyday healthcare provider. Rosy Health Care Foundation would
like to be that economic liaison with the development of an emergency
fund for community members.
Rosy Health Fairs - The RHCF aims to meet the deficiency
in coverage these newcomers are experiencing with quarterly health fairs,
as well as supplementing general costs of consistent home health care.
Currently, Sunny and his wife Rosy already provide their services at area
health and community fairs, providing free consultation at events thrown
by the YMCA, Westminster homes and the Hispanic Health Fair of Texas.
They would like to continue that tradition by organizing their own free
diagnostic fairs in their Southeast Austin location on Airport Boulevard.
Rosy Health Foundation is new, but is built on the solid foundation of
care and experience of the Rosy Home Healthcare Agency. By organizing
community health fairs that include other Austin healthcare facilitators
including the use of mobile mammogram machines, AIDS prevention organizations,
doctors from Rosy Home Healthcare professional clientele, and other hospital
affiliated organizations, Planned Parenthood and groups aimed to help
the aged like Meals on Wheels, RHCF can truly meet the needs of its community.
The founders and facilitators of the Rosy Health Care Foundation understand
survival often supercedes any accommodations for prevention for poor and
elderly women, making their role an urgent resource for no-cost training,
diagnosis and support.
