WELCOME TO THE ROBERT HILL FOUNDATION
The Robert Hill Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization launched to bring awareness on the effects from strokes, providing information regarding preventive measures and creating initiatives to promote overall health and wellness. The foundation was spearheaded as a result of the organization's namesake, Robert B. Hill, experiencing a hemorrhagic stroke in March 2011. At present time, Mr. Hill is STILL in the recovery stages as the stroke affected the part of the brain that controls speech, motor skills and physical capabilities. Thus, the journey of dealing with such an injury is an ordeal to say the least, for the person experiencing the stroke as well as the individual's family, friends and network. The results and ramifications of dealing with such an "experience" can be life-altering and the road to recovery can be very trying. Thus, the foundation plans to advocate for stroke victims and their families. The goal of this 501 (c) (3) organization is to provide a platform to help the community by being a vessel to show people how imperative and crucial it is to put their health and wellness at the forefront of their lives.
The Robert Hill Foundation will provide education on the causes of strokes, the effects, what can be done to "reverse" some of those effects as well as the impact on an individual's overall health and wellness. This will be achieved through providing information such as statistical data and facts as well as through workshops, seminars and lectures. To reach the masses and impact as many people as possible with our message, we intend to create a multimedia platform via interviews, documentaries, photos, blogging and social media/networking sites. This multimedia platform has already been launched with video documentation of a stroke victim's recovery through interaction, personal engagement, alternative healing methods such as acupuncture as well as through speech, occupational, physical and cognitive therapy.
The primary goal of the Robert Hill Foundation is to create a platform through health and wellness events to promote awareness of various health issues afflicting and affecting our communities such as strokes and many other ailments. The Foundation will provide community based workshops, seminars, educational information and donate funds to individuals impacted by stroke and other illnesses. Helping families and individuals to be properly armed and prepared with pertinent knowledge is crucial in helping to reduce the likelihood that they will have to deal with life-altering health challenges. However, when these life-altering health challenges do occur, many families are not prepared for the road ahead. One of the many goal's of the Foundation is to raise funds for individuals whose lives and families have been impacted by such life-altering health challenges. The Robert Hill Foundation intends to align with other like-minded organizations who have similar missions to educate, empower and provide resources for the community at large. Providing services and other resources to organizations that are involved in causes that are in alignment with our mission for the overall betterment of our communities, furthers our purpose of giving back.
The Robert Hill Foundation envisions creating state of the art medical facilities as well as in-house staff to help families with care, with top-notch medical teams. Some of the disciplines include experienced doctors, nurses, and specialists like neurologists, nutritionists, homeopathic practitioners, pulmonary specialists, gastroenterologists, infectious disease doctors as well as wound specialists, CNAs, and impressive rehabilitation facilities for cognitive, occupational, speech and physical therapies. It is crucial and imperative that we have these systems implemented as impaired individuals need ongoing care and rehabilitation. There has to be a complete team that is on the same page and in sync with the same goals in mind to help people get back to their optimal levels of health. They should not be forgotten about and sometimes the traditional healthcare system tends to categorize individuals into the “no hope” category. That's why that voice and support system for people is crucial. It definitely takes a combination of traditional and alternative health care methods and rehabilitation along with ongoing love, support, encouragement and faith to help people get on the road to recovery.
There are so many families experiencing an uphill battle with a loved one's recovery via health issues, insurance issues, lack of coverage or issues with the healthcare system as a whole for being too “systematic” and without having enough compassion or regard for every person's human rights. Our motto is "someone has experienced this, is experiencing this or will experience this" and as children of God, people need and deserve to have the proper resources and support systems in place to assist and support them along the journey of recovery.
