New Name Announced During Kick-Off of National Health Center Week
It's official: our 43-year-old Community Health Center has changed its name to Advance Community Health. The name was changed to distinguish us from government human service agencies and to represent communities served beyond Wake County. The new name reflects the expanded offerings and transformation of the organization. It speaks to the commitment to quality care for the families and communities we serve.
"Our Board of Trustees has long-recognized the need to change our name," commented Elaine Brown, chairwoman of the Board of Trustees. "This was the perfect window of opportunity with a new building and expanded services. We've changed, and our new name reflects who are are today, and who we strive to be in the future."
To read more about our name change, and for a comprehensive listing of services, locations and contact information, please visit our new website: www.advancechc.org.

Professionals Gather in Support of Campaign
Expanding access to health care in underserved communities is just the type of project that gets members of 100 Black Men of the Triangle engaged.
At a recent gathering at Shaw University hosted by the Campaign Committee, Advance Community Health Board Member Harold Hicks shared information about the expansion in Southeast Raleigh. Hicks, who also serves as president of 100 Black Men of the Triangle, explained how the new service offerings throughout all locations will help those living in poverty to have increased access to quality healthcare.
"This work changes lives for generations," Hicks said. He was joined by members of Advance's leadership team, Maria Spaulding, co-chair of the campaign, plus dozens of community leaders. The group is expected to announce its leadership support for the campaign in the coming weeks.

Pediatricians Share Advice on Limiting Cell Phone Use at Bedtime
One of the first questions Dr. Glenn Feole asks his young patients is, "How are you sleeping?"
According to Dr. Feole, one of five providers serving our pediatric and teen patients, it's a neglected topic. "The cell phone impacts school performance and it interferes with sleep," he says. Video games, TV, the computer--they all disrupt sleep and reduce valuable child-parent interaction.
Dr. Margaret Martin, lead pediatrician, concurs.
And it's not just kids who are overusing cell phones. "Kids feel neglected since they don't have their parent's attention," she says.
If you are spending time on your cell phone late at night--or in bed--here are some tips from our pediatricians; it's good advice for both children and adults:
- No screens in the bedroom
- Use the bed for sleep only
- Have quiet time without phone, TV or computer games
- No caffeine before bed
