Through a partnership with the South Kitsap Helpline the clinic is delivering nutritious foods directly to patients with diabetes who are also facing food insecurity and mobility challenges brought the pilot project to Kitsap in September The model has been implemented at several VMFH facilities focusing on cardiovascular diseases and diabetes It began last year at a heart failure clinic in Tacoma before expanding to other cardiology and diabetes clinics across Pierce County The Kitsap pilot is part of a broader VMFH push to reduce food insecurity through a variety of new programs $500,000 grant from CommonSpirit Health Mission and Ministry Fund VMFH reports it has 139 patients enrolled in the food box program and has seen a 61% reduction in hospital admissions and 75% reduction in emergency room visits among enrolled participants the project supports distribution of food boxes to patients every other week over a six month period The program is serving about a dozen patients so far and could grow to as many as 50 Kropp-Wolner said the program is not “standard medicine” but providing healthy food to people with chronic disease like diabetes can help them meet prescribed diet goals and prevent additional complications from a poor diet patients with diabetes who have low incomes or mobility issues face challenges accessing healthy foods Whole and nutritious foods are typically more expensive and less available than processed goods over 11% of residents experienced food insecurity in 2022 More: Kroger-Albertsons merger raises concerns for food access in Kitsap they are faced with incredibly difficult decisions,” Amanda Carter an ambulatory clinical pharmacist in the heart failure clinic at St “They are forced to choose between paying utility bills What we wanted to do through this program was to help reduce that burden.” Kropp-Wolner said physicians would refer people to the food bank But limited infrastructure connected the two agencies People who could not physically get to the food bank had few options their physician can directly notify South Kitsap Helpline providing the food bank manager with the patient's contact information the food bank manager will coordinate with the patient about enrolling them in the program deliver a handful of boxes to patients’ homes “It’s all done locally,” Kropp-Wolner said working with our local food bank working with our local food bank.”  VMFH approached South Kitsap Helpline about starting the food box partnership this summer said Helpline Executive Director Jennifer Hardison The partnership comes as food banks across the Kitsap Peninsula have seen an uptick in customers Bremerton Foodline and The Gig Harbor Peninsula FISH Food bank have reported more customers after a period of high inflation and the reduction of pandemic-era food and housing assistance programs At South Kitsap Helpline the trend has been similar With a little more than two months left in the year they have already seen 2,000 more households compared to last year About 80 to 100 households come to the food bank on Mitchell Avenue When Hardison first started working at Helpline in 2001 they primarily offered food bank staples like boxed pastas baked goods and other foods high in preservatives Over the years she says they have aimed to provide more fresh whole foods to meet the needs of the community really important to us to make sure that people have not only food good food that won't contribute to causing more problems,” she said Although there was some early trepidation about the pilot project Hardison said it has been a great experience Working with DoorDash has opened up many doors for them They are now looking at expanding their delivery program through additional grants “We sort of got our feet wet and we've learned how to facilitate the ordering with Cascadia and the DoorDash delivery It's a lot easier than we were thinking that was going to be,” she said “It's been a really great opportunity and I think it's helping people.” Life Lessons… My Journey in Faith is a collection of Linda Kropp's experiences and battle-earned wisdom that were released in her first

information: Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp runs healthcare facilities across Northern Germany helping people with everything from mental health to hospice services Yet with an IT staff of just five supporting 2,000 employees the nonprofit needed to modernize its technology infrastructure When Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp migrated to Microsoft Azure gained the flexibility to scale up cloud resources as needed and boosted employee productivity—all while adhering to strict EU security and privacy guidelines a nurse gently supports an elderly woman as they walk through the garden then reads a book aloud to someone nearing the end of life The nurse also oversees medication to manage pain Hospice work is equal parts medical expertise and compassionate companionship—and the same could be said of all Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp’s services The nonprofit Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp has met the healthcare needs of people in Northern Germany since 1879 Yet outdated practices—from paper-based communication processes to an extensive on-premise IT infrastructure—held back this historic nonprofit With an IT staff of just five people supporting 2,000 employees across ten organizations “we hardly had the know-how or resources ourselves to build the technologies we needed,” explains Arne Schnack Division Manager of Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp The nonprofit worked with Microsoft partner Orange Networks GmbH to upgrade its technologies and migrate to the Azure Cloud “We are the first proof that everything hospital systems need works in Azure Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp’s on-premise IT infrastructure included about 100 servers in a centralized data center The hardware was nearing the end of its lifecycle and would have required an enormous investment to replace The nonprofit completed a data protection impact assessment to ensure it could comply with stringent German and European data privacy laws and contracted Orange Networks GmbH to support the migration “The real goal was transitioning all products to be SaaS solutions,” Schnack explains and move the nonprofit away from a resource-intensive datacenter Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp was able to discontinue many applications by adopting the Microsoft 365 platform Other systems—such as its hospital information system (HIS)—required more finesse The nonprofit’s HIS runs on an Oracle database and switching licensing was cost-prohibitive Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp migrated its Oracle healthcare database to a virtual server in Azure Orange Networks GmbH navigated several challenges Microsoft allowed us to quickly change our Azure region within a few hours,” explains Elmar Wesle Senior Solution Sales Architect at Orange Networks GmbH “That highlights how we were able to adapt to dynamic problems.”  “Now everything just works—and a lot of that is because of working with our partner who are worth their weight in gold,” Schnack says Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp has the flexibility to scale cloud resources up and down as needed the nonprofit had to estimate how much server power they would need over the coming years—and sometimes ran out leading to “massive bottlenecks,” Schnack remembers “The Microsoft solution means the resources we have are just right: We can make ad-hoc adjustments and immediately get more resources when Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp consolidated ten enterprise resource planning (ERP) tenants into one they spun up a virtual server to architect a solution then decommissioned the duplicates once the infrastructure was complete Ready-to-go Azure security services further free up the small IT staff Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp uses an Azure Firewall to create and enforce security policies block traffic to and from problematic IP addresses and prevent malware and viruses from taking hold “We had to answer the big question of how we could ensure security now and in the future,” Schnack says “We outsource a lot of functions to this technology giving my team the flexibility to concentrate on improving processes that benefit our organization and the people we serve IT issues are significantly simplified with the help of Microsoft.”  it should come as no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this healthcare nonprofit’s digital transformation What may be unexpected: Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp’s staff even those who do not consider themselves IT-savvy have enthusiastically embraced Microsoft productivity Each organization within Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp has its own team keep their files organized in a SharePoint intranet “They log in just once and have everything they need in one interface They immediately feel comfortable with the familiar experience and even have fun exchanging information,” Schnack says Teams also connects to the nonprofit’s online learning resources and serves as an informal forum for employees to learn from one another rather than licensing from a buffet of tools “That way we don’t divert more money from the nursing staff and other service teams,” Schnack says Many employees spend their days directly serving clients whether that means running a care center for adults with intellectual disabilities or comforting elders at the end of life “I hear again and again that employees access all their apps and work everywhere,” Schnack says “It’s been a quantum leap for us.” He is working toward fully replacing the nonprofit’s phone system with Teams Telephony and providing staff with smartphones to further free them from the desk instead of returning to a desktop for tasks like messaging and documentation reduces burnout and enables workers to spend more time with patients and clients With so much success in its ongoing digital transformation Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp is looking for even more ways that modernizing its technology can facilitate greater impact “Innovation is a huge topic for us,” Schnack says “We’ve seen a massive benefit with relatively little investment Find out more about Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp on Facebook We are Microsoft Empowering others Our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet

Foundation" Trainer William Kropp is hopeful the New Zealand-bred Bilpa Morea and jockey Madeleine Wishart can continue their successful association at Toowoomba on Thursday Bilpa Morea was a $12,500 buy at the Ready to Run sales at Karaka in New Zealand and will step out for her 31st start in the Benchmark 60 Handicap over 2000 metres The daughter of Reliable Man has won four times for Kropp and on each occasion was ridden by Wishart Bilpa Morea is chasing a hat-trick of wins after dominant victories over 1700 metres at Ipswich last month before an easy win when stepping up to 2000 metres at Dalby on April 8 The 24-year-old Kropp has been training since the 2019-20 season after a long stint working alongside his father “I’ve decided to stick with Maddy as she’s been on him for four wins,” Kropp said “She’s a New Zealand-bred mare and it’s taken a bit of time for her to reach her potential “I considered setting her on a Queensland Oaks campaign as a three-year-old but it took too long to strengthen her up.” Kropp has lowered his ambitions with Bilpa Morea and has no major winter plans in mind for the upcoming Queensland Racing Carnival “I’ll just stick to the lesser races around the South East for the time being but hopefully she’ll race well again this week,” he said Bilpa Morea has started eight times for two wins and as many placings at Toowoomba and is proven over 2000 metres “She likes racing at Toowoomba and likes this distance,” Kropp said “There’s a lot of strategy involved in races like this and not necessarily the best horse wins.” Kropp is hoping the stars are aligning for Bilpa Morea and stablemate Prince Levi who will tackle the QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap over 1600 metres at Eagle Farm on Saturday Prince Levi’s performance will decide if the son of Casino Prince continues on a Group 1 Queensland Derby path Prince Levi finished sixth to the Chris Waller-trained Liberty Park over 2000 metres at Doomben on April 1 “I was happy with his last run but he was a bit luckless down the straight,” Kropp said “If he races well this week he’ll go down the Queensland Derby path.” For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au Environmental Studies to track changes in certain types of land cover Kropp applied a convolutional neural network image segmentation approach to historical aerial imagery in order to delineate changes in Utica’s land cover in 1957 and building cover in each year with overall accuracy ranging from 82% to 87% Among her findings was that from 1957 to 2017 tree cover declined in many areas and impervious surface cover increased She found that most tree cover gains occurred in less populated while the greatest declines in tree coverage were seen in many residential areas following the start of urban renewal efforts in 1957 Kropp said that “a better understanding of the legacies of historical policies and neighborhood-scale changes in land cover can assist in highlighting priorities for urban forest management and justice-oriented urban forestry approaches to urban tree planting.” Toowoomba trainer William Kropp hopes to confirm a Group 1 Queensland Derby mission for Prince Levi during the Queensland Racing Carnival if the gelding is successful at Doomben on Wednesday Kropp will be double handed with Prince Levi and The Dark Side clashing in the QTIS Three-Year-Old Benchmark 65 Handicap over 1650 metres Prince Levi made a huge step up in class from winning a maiden at Gatton in January to finishing second to the Bevan Laming-trained Savour The Dream in the 1600 metre QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap at Doomben on February 8 Kropp has drawn confidence from Prince Levi’s run as the Laming stable has mapped out an ambitious autumn campaign for their three-year-old starting with the Group 1 Australian Guineas at Flemington on Saturday Savour The Dream also is nominated for next month’s Group 1 Randwick Guineas the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas over 2000 metres and the Group 1 Australian Derby at Randwick in April “Prince Levi was very unlucky not to get the job done against Savour The Dream,” Kropp said “It took a while for him to get out and while Laming’s horse was very good the way he won “If Prince Levi is as good as we think he should be up to these horses at carnival time “If he runs well enough he’ll probably have a short ease up after one more run and take the traditional route to the Queensland Derby via the Rough Habit Plate.” Kropp has been training since the 2019-20 season and prepares a dozen horses at Toowoomba He used to ride trackwork but has given up to concentrate on training “I used to ride a lot of trackwork but I gave it away two months ago as I’m too big and heavy now and it’s painful on my back,” he said Kropp also believes The Dark Side will be competitive after finishing second in a three-year-old Benchmark race at Gatton on February 8 “He’s been crying out for 1600 metres and Les Tilley thought he should have won when he got off him at Gatton,” Kropp said Kropp has booked Taylor Marshall again to partner Prince Levi while Mark Du Plessis will be legged aboard The Dark Side
