Our Trustees

In the context of a public charity (PC), a trustee holds a crucial role in governance. Let’s delve into the responsibilities and duties of a Public Charity's trustee:

  1. Responsibility to the Foundation and Fellow Trustees:

    • Trustees are responsible to the founders of the Foundation who established the PC, ensuring that the organization aligns with the Foundations’s mission and objectives.

    • They owe duties to their fellow trustees, collaborating to make informed decisions for the PC’s benefit.

  2. Ethical Behavior and Trust:

    • As trustees, they must uphold ethical behavior, including:

      • Undivided loyalty to the foundation.

      • Avoidance of self-interest.

      • Protection of property and assets.

      • Obedience to laws and the governing charter.

    • These duties are owed to various stakeholders, including the public and the community the foundation aims to serve.

  3. Trustees and Donees:

    • Since most PCs primarily provide funding to others, trustees must establish a partnership based on trust with the recipients of their gifts.

    • This trust ensures effective mission fulfillment and positive impact.

  4. Tax-Exempt Status and Accountability:

    • PCs enjoy tax-exempt status, which comes with responsibilities.

    • Trustees may be called to account by the press, government, and regulatory authorities.

    • Reporting or explaining trusteeship actions to Congress and the public may be necessary.

  5. Essential Responsibilities:

    • Ensure the foundation achieves its purpose while maintaining loyalty to donor intent and public interests.

    • Provide prudent investment management of foundation assets.

    • Ensure compliance with all relevant laws, rules, and regulations.

​

Remember, trustees play a critical role in safeguarding an PC’s mission and maintaining public trust. Their commitment ensures the organization’s positive impact on society.

Project -A The Healthy Immigrants, Stronger Communities project

 

This project aims to provide affordable and heavily discounted immigration physicals to immigrants using CDC standards and technical instructions for civil surgeons. Our goal is multifaceted:

​

  1. Preventing Communicable Diseases:

    • Immigrants often come from diverse backgrounds, and their health status varies. By adhering to CDC guidelines, we meticulously screen immigrants to prevent the introduction of communicable diseases into our communities. Our civil surgeons assess and evaluate each individual, ensuring that they meet health standards before joining society.

  2. Addressing Mental Health Issues:

    • Mental health is equally crucial. Our project recognizes the psychological well-being of immigrants. We offer compassionate support and guidance, addressing mental health concerns. By fostering emotional resilience, we contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.

  3. Ensuring Community Safety:

    • The safety of our communities is paramount. Through comprehensive physicals, we identify any health conditions that might pose risks to others. By mitigating potential health threats, we create safer environments for everyone.

  4. Screening for Chronic Medical Conditions:

    • Chronic illnesses can strain government insurances such as Medicaid and Medicare. Our civil surgeons meticulously screen immigrants for chronic medical conditions. Early detection allows for timely intervention and management, reducing the burden on public healthcare systems.

  5. Immunization Records Updates:

    • Vaccinations are essential for public health. We ensure that immigrants’ immunization records are up-to-date. By promoting preventive care, we contribute to healthier communities.

  6. Translation Services and Guidance:

    • Navigating the immigration process can be daunting, especially for non-English speakers. Our project provides translation services using duolingo and google translate, ensuring that immigrants understand their health assessments and requirements. Additionally, we offer guidance on accessing healthcare resources.

​

Impact:

The Healthy Immigrants, Stronger Communities project embodies our commitment to equitable healthcare. By empowering immigrants with knowledge, addressing health needs, and fostering community safety, we create a positive ripple effect. As immigrants integrate into society, they contribute to the fabric of our communities, making them stronger, healthier, and more vibrant.

PedPost Foundation Inc remains dedicated to this project, knowing that healthier immigrants lead to stronger communities. Together, we build bridges of health and compassion. 🌟

Project-B: Virtual Health Connect

​

The Virtual Health Connect project aims to address critical gaps in healthcare access, particularly for individuals residing in suburban and rural areas of Georgia and beyond. Our multifaceted approach focuses on several key goals:

  1. Urgent Healthcare Services Anytime, Anywhere:

    • We recognize that urgent healthcare needs can arise at any moment. Through our virtual health platform, we offer 7 days a week access to medical professionals. Whether it’s a minor ailment, medication refill, or urgent consultation, patients can connect with healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes.

  2. Easing Emergency Room Congestion:

    • Overcrowded emergency rooms strain resources and lead to longer wait times. By encouraging patients to utilize virtual healthcare services, we aim to decongest emergency rooms. Non-life-threatening conditions can be efficiently managed through virtual consultations, freeing up emergency departments for critical cases.

  3. Behavioral and Mental Health Support for Children:

    • Children facing behavioral and mental health challenges, such as autism and ADHD, often require specialized care. However, access to child psychiatrists and psychologists can be limited, especially in rural areas. Our project facilitates virtual appointments with experts, ensuring timely assessments, interventions, and support.

  4. Holistic Approach to Well-Being:

    • Beyond urgent care, our virtual health platform emphasizes preventive measures. We provide resources for healthy living, mental wellness, and lifestyle management. From nutrition advice to stress management, we empower individuals to take charge of their health proactively.

Implementation:

  • Telemedicine Portal: Our user-friendly platform allows patients to schedule virtual appointments, access medical records, and communicate securely with healthcare providers.

  • Community Outreach: We collaborate with local organizations, schools, and community centers to raise awareness about virtual health services.

  • Mobile App: Our mobile app ensures seamless access to virtual consultations via smartphones and tablets.

​

Impact:

The Virtual Health Connect project transforms healthcare delivery:

  • Accessible Care: Patients in remote areas can receive prompt medical attention without traveling long distances.

  • Reduced Healthcare Disparities: We bridge gaps by offering specialized services to children facing behavioral challenges.

  • Emergency Room Relief: By diverting non-emergency cases to virtual care, we alleviate pressure on emergency departments.

Together, we create a healthier, more connected future—one where healthcare knows no boundaries.
