National Youth
Leadership Forum on
Medicine explores
Los Angeles' medical
community
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Brandon Mills of Winston
Salem attended the National
Youth Leadership Forum on
Medicine (NYLF/MED) in Los
Angeles, Calif., from July 6-15.
Having demonstrated academic
achievement and an interest in a
career related to science and
health. Mills joined more than
400 outstanding high school
juniors and seniors from across
the United States at the forum.
Mills learned firsthand from
medical professionals about
medical ethics, the global effects
of infectious disease, genetic
research, public health and
many other subjects relevant to
the field.
"The National Youth Lead
ership Forum on Medicine
offers students like Brandon
Mills a behind-the-scenes look
at what it takes to become a
medical professional," said
Donna Snyder, executive direc
tor of NYLF. "The curriculum
for the Forum on Medicine com
plements the classroom experi
ence and allows its participants
to gain an understanding of how
to get to where they want to be
within the universe of medi
cine."
Dr. Roscoe Atkinson of the
University of Southern Califor
nu s
Keck
School of
Medicine
said:
"With
influence
from
great
advances
in tech
nology,
you will
be well-equipped leaders of the
medicine field. Yours is a gener
ation that is better educated with
more resources and access to a
wealth of research and method
ologies. When faced with chal
lenges, the education and
demand you receive will pro
vide you with innovative ideas,
which are sure to be readily
accepted."
Throughout the program.
Mills and fellow students expe
rienced problem-based learning
in a series of intense and stimu
lating simulations, many exer
cises of which are faced by stu
dents in medical schools
throughout the country.
NYLF/MED culminated in the
public health symposium, in
which students developed pro
grams to directly impact their
communities on the issues of
adolescent health, care for the
elderly and chronic disease,
among others. The goal of the
exercise was to encourage the
students to develop and imple
ment programs as leaders,
addressing concerns on public
health issues in their communi
ties.
During NYLF/MED, stu
dents had the opportunity to visit
some of the best institutions of
medical learning and research in
the country, including: Universi
ty of California, Los Angeles
School of Medicine; University
of Southern California Keck
School of Medicine; Osteopath
ic Medicine of the Pacific; and
several others. Not only did stu
dents visit these renowned
places, they also interacted with
doctors, nurses, scientists and
professors to gather a greater
understanding of medical histo
ry, standards and trends.
"Many who participate in
our program arrive thinking they
have a clear idea of the type of
medicine they want to practice,"
Snyder continued. "By opening
new doors for them, students
can confirm or adjust their pro
fessional plans accordingly,
prior to college."
NYLF is a nonprofit educa
tional organization committed to
empowering young people to
make well-informed career
choices. For additional informa

Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Senior Services Inc. has been
awarded two grants by the Kate B.
Reynolds Charitable Trust of Win
ston-Salem, announced Richard
Gottlieb, president and CEO of
Senior Services.
A $250,021 grant has been
awarded to the Meals-on-Wheels
program, and a $ 134,198 grant has
been given in support of the Home
Care program, he said.
The grants will be used to help
fund two of the seven programs
managed by Senior Services.
Funds awarded to the Meals-on
Wheels program will be used to
furnish more than 40,000 hot
meals, provide breakfast and sup
per packs for the community's
poorest clients, and establish a
new Meals-on-Wheels route in the
Konnoak area of Winston-Salem.
This much-needed route will serve
14 clients.
The second grant will provide
continuing sponsorship of Home
Care services for older adults.
These in-home services are vitally
needed to help frail and home
bound seniors remain out of cosdy
nursing homes until absolutely
necessary, Gottlieb said.
Senior Services has been an
important resource for thousands
of homebound elderly in Forsyth
County. Last year, for example.
Senior Services provided 22,060

resources to continue to support
the critical needs of frail seniors in
Forsyth County for yet another
year, he added.
