The Research Foundation was proud to bring our ThinkFirst injury prevention program to Glendale Elementary School! 🧠⛑️ Students learned important safety lessons about protecting their brains and preventing injuries through engaging, interactive presentations. Programs like ThinkFirst help empower kids to make smart, safe decisions both at school and at home.

We had the opportunity to visit Alphapointe and see firsthand the incredible impact of their work in our community. Alphapointe received a Community Grant from The Research Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The organization empowers people with vision loss to achieve their goals and aspirations. It is one of the largest employers of people who are blind in the U.S. and a leading regional resource for people with vision loss, providing products and services nationwide. We were impressed by how they empower individuals with vision loss with their truly innovative programs, employment opportunities, and essential services.

During the visit, our staff as well as members of our Board of Directors and Advisory Directors learned about Alphapointe’s inspiring history and mission before touring their clinic. It was a meaningful experience to witness how community support helps create opportunities and improve lives every day. Thank you to Alphapointe for welcoming us and for the important work you do to help people with vision loss!

We are still celebrating and the nurses we meet at The Research Foundation! Jaden received assistance from our Nursing Student Emergency Fund while in school:

“The Nursing Student Emergency Fund provided gas money and groceries for my family at a time when focusing on life necessities like meals and transportation was threatening my ability to stay in nursing school. It can be hard to ask for help, but the process was very easy, and The Research Foundation staff were helpful and kind.”

The Research Foundation is proud to support nursing students when they need it most. Through our Nursing Student Emergency Fund, students facing unexpected financial hardships can receive assistance so they can stay focused on their education and continue pursuing their calling to care for others. 👩‍⚕️🩺 This fund helps ease the burden for future nurses as they work toward strengthening the health of our community. You can celebrate by giving to the fund at the link in the comments! 💚

The Research Foundation was honored to host the inaugural Dr. James M. Flynn Symposium on Advancing Cancer Care for Primary Care Providers. This event brought healthcare professionals together to learn and strengthen cancer care in our community. 🎗️

We were especially grateful to welcome Francie Flynn, RN and Molly Flynn, RN, wife and daughter of Dr. James M. Flynn, whose generosity and vision helped establish the fund that made this symposium possible. Their commitment to advancing healthcare education and honoring Dr. Flynn’s legacy will have a lasting impact on providers and patients alike.
