Network Featured in Earthquake Simulation
The Business Civic Leadership Center (BCLC),  the
philanthropic voice for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, hosted an open
summit for business leaders in conjunction with the Disaster Assistance
and Recovery program. One of three business-designated programs offered
by the BCLC, this event focused on a disaster simulation for States in
the New Madrid Fault Zone. The land area encompasses several states
and has been site of the four largest North American earthquakes
recorded. Our organization was a featured presenter, sharing the many
solutions the Aidmatrix Network™ can provide during this
type of disaster, including assistance to businesses in getting the
Right Aid to the Right People at the Right Time.™
The forum outlined ways businesses can communicate, coordinate and
collaborate with each other (and those in the nonprofit and government
sectors) for meaningful support in issues surrounding disasters.

Helping More People when People Hurt Most -- Uninsured Texans benefit from Health Care Aid
The
Meadows Foundation empowered Aidmatrix with funding to improve health
conditions in the state of Texas. In partnership with the National
Association of Free Clinics, Aidmatrix has orchestrated aid of
medicines and supplies valued at $12 million to some of the more than
200 clinic affiliates in Texas. The on-line product management
solution, FreeClinicLink™, connects vital equipment, supplies
and medication for use to clinics that strive to serve the population
of more than 45 million uninsured Americans. The grant allows five
temporary staff for outreach to clinics to connect them with the
technology. In
less than six weeks the staff has visited close to 20 percent of the
affiliate clinics; and integrated and trained 10 percent. The second
phase of FreeClinicLink has processed a donation of Ribavirin
(an anti-viral medication used to treat hepatitis C) available to all
the clinics. Medical companies offering products include Invacare
Supply Group, Legacy Medical International and Henry Schein, along with
Triple I and AmeriCares. | | |
