The Good Neighbor Health Clinic Cookbook

The purpose of this coockbook is to provide healthy, fun, easy recipes made with affordable and readily available ingredients. As part of the Chomp and Stomp for your Heart initiative this, the first ever Good Neigbor Health Clinic Cookbook, has been compiled using recipes submitted by the patients, staff, volunteers, and friends of the GNHC. This cookbook is not an attempt to coerce you into beginning a diet, but to provide you with recipes to begin or maintain a healthy lifestyle. The majority of the recipes are health conscious, but not all. It was our goal to include and maintain the integrity of the recipes submitted. Many recipes include "healthy" tips at the end to make them more nutritious.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT 15th Anniversary Issue

Dear Friends,

Please take a few minutes to read our Annual Report. It's special because it's our 15th report to you and all of our supporters.

All of us who comprise the community of volunteers and staff who serve our clients feel very honored and privileged to do so. We are also proud of our track record for the past fifteen years.

Over the years, we have experienced many challenges, face more presently and will in the future. I'd like to mention three that are current or looming. First of all, our very successful Executive Director, Karen Woodbury, will be retiring in August 2008. Second, our patient mix is changing, with the majority coming from New Hampshire, as Vermont moves toward universal health coverage. Last, but not least, requests for primary dental care far exeed our capacity to handle them. To meet this challenge, GNHC has been the catalyst in the creation of the Community Oral Health Initiative (COHI) to try to figure out how to address this shortage and make recommendations to the community.

In closing, Good Neighbor can't meet all of the health and dental needs of the uninsured. We will need additional partners to relieve suffering among our neighbors. We thank those of you who help and ask those of you who haven't to join us. You'll be glad you did!

Warmest regards,

Ron Michaud, Chairman

Board of Directors
