Neighbor Up for Health
Neighbor Up members passionate about the health of their neighborhoods came together around the question, “What’s working when it comes to health in the communities of Greater University Circle?”
Neighbor Up’s Neal Hodges with Dr. Charles Modlin of the Cleveland Clinic. Neal observed a kidney transplant.
They started having conversations last year with neighbors, doctors at the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, as well as city leaders.
This year they decided to focus on having a positive impact in the areas of infant mortality and lead abatement. Greater University Circle neighborhoods have infant mortality rates among African-American babies that rival those of third world countries. And lead paint in old homes can cause learning disabilities and other issues in children.

Thanks for sharing this info!! Passing your info along to Neal Hodges who is working on health issues.
I am exploring the idea of creating my own cleveland based out patient community based recreation therapy clinic. I will like to develop network with health care professionals and medical doctor to obtain patient referrals. And acquire 501c-3 grant funding for patients who are not insurance qualified.
