Team offers health care to the homeless

Food and shelter are the most pressing needs for the homeless - but what about health care?

A small but determined team of health-care workers is fanning the county to bring basic care to this growing population. Along the way, they help the homeless sign up for government health insurance and refer them to the health department clinics for specialized care.

'It's saving taxpayers money,' said Yanick Gribkoff, program manager and one of the team's two nurses. 'We're able to prevent the homeless from ending up in the hospital.'

Foundation trying to streamline fundraising for new Belle Glade hospital

Just as businesses are making cuts in an unforgiving economy, so is the foundation raising money for a $73 million public hospital in Belle Glade.

The executive director of the Glades Healthcare Foundation will be laid off effective Monday and the foundation will no longer employ consultants from the Waters Pelton Organization in West Palm Beach.

The cuts save $200,000 a year, though total savings will decrease once the foundation board decides how to replace those employees. Pat Lord served as executive director more than a year and was paid $80,000.
