Review for Brain Wellness Fund, Bethesda, MD, USA
It's not often that you find an organization that has found a way to change lives directly and permanently by connecting people to the technologies that they need to heal their brain!
That's why I'm on the Board of Directors at the Brain Wellness Fund; I want to help our heroes regain their lives the way that my family and friends have regained theirs through the treatments offered at the Brain Wellness Center in Bethesda.
For all of the talk in the media about helping veterans and our military recover from their PTSD, it is so refreshing to find an organization that is determined to reach out and get funding for treatment for as many veterans/active service members as possible.
The best part? The reward is in their faces. It's so remarkable to watch our damaged, frustrated, military heroes come in with vacant, haunted faces and return to their families with hope, and health - complete with twinkling eyes and engaging smiles. The joy of watching them get their lives back makes my work here all worthwhile.
We have the greatest Board! Thank you!!
Review for Divine Mercy Care, Fairfax, VA, USA
The doctors at Tepeyac Family Center were always my favorite doctors to go to. I would rejoice when I discovered that another little one was on the way and I would get to visit with them again. They are friendly, encouraging, caring, professional but also take an interest in each patient. When one of the doctors saved the life of my daughter - they were forever emblazoned in my heart. However, when I found out that a quarter of all their patients were uninsured or underinsured - or that they would pay for necessary treatments if insurance refused - I realized it was time to step forward and help raise money towards the almost $400,000 in care that they end up "eating." In addition to medical care, they also help some of the uninsured moms find help finding the resources to set up their lives to take care of their newborns. Tepeyac Family Center and Divine Mercy Care have truly found a way to combine the best of modern medicine with the kindness and loving spirit of Christ. It's a lovely place with a divine mission.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I've been a patient with them for over 11 years and have had four children with them. In addition, they have helped and aided me through any medical issue that has popped up during that time. They were excellent on all accounts!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make more of them. Some of my friends drive more than an hour to get to this office. Because they accept patients that are underinsured, this office should be replicated nationwide.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
working with the doctors and staff. They are friendly and they really care about each patient.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
It's like a family. Every patient LOVES Tepeyac because you are made to feel like a comfortable cousin when you come in.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Expand and develop more offices and more types of medical specialities. This organization has the perfect business model that will help ease all those who are uninsured or underinsured find high quality care.
Ways to make it better...
It had more room. They have so many excellent doctors but they could really use more room.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Getting the word out. This excellent business model is often overlooked by government and medical business models because of their feelings against it's pro-life stance. That pro-life attitude is what makes each person feel special.
One thing I'd also say is that...
My dream is that Divine Mercy Care is able to open up more practices using the same business model as Tepeyac Family Center and spread them throughout the country. Every person should have access to excellent care despite their insurance.
