Riverside Medical Clinic Charitable Foundation

Our college scholarship program gave $500 scholarships to 10 graduating high school students who plan to pursue careers in health care. Five schools who planned to start clubs to promote kindness and inclusivity among their students were recipients of our hero club scholarship award.

Riverside project heart continued to provide hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) and cpr certification classes within the city of Riverside. Over 2,000 people have signed up on the pulsepoint app to receive notifications of individuals having sudden cardiac events in their vicinity in order to be a responder in emergencies where cpr and/or an automated external defibrillator (aed) can be employed to help improve the chance of survival. The Foundation purchased (aeds) for Riverside area businesses and community organizations in areas where there may be insufficient numbers to support the population density.

Bullying prevention programming through the Foundation's anti-bullying institute was a major focus of Foundation programming in 2022 and included offering both in-person and virtual classes for parents of children affected by bullying and/or cyberbullying and in-person kindness events and activities for children. Over 30 "creating the ripple effect" presentations were given to groups of school-aged children and our annual bullying prevention conference was held in person and had over 180 registered attendees. Year one of the reimagine program was facilitated at pilot schools arlanza elementary (jurupa unified school district) and sunnymead middle school (moreno valley unified school district) with curriculum developed through a partnership with California baptist university's sport and performance psychology department.

Other health education was provided to the community through a community health fair, webinars, and newsletters. The Foundation's endometriosis family support group continued in a virtual format.
