| 2014 March for Babies Raises More Than $1 Million in the Fight for Babies |
| Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services Earns Highest Level Patient Centered Medical Home Accreditation |
Approximately 13,000 residents joined together in support of the smallest citizens of
Greater Cincinnati and N. Kentucky — babies — by participating in the 2014 March for Babies
to benefit the March of Dimes. Paul Brown Stadium and Sawyer Point was packed with
strollers, families and corporate teams who raised more than $1,000,000 to help babies be
born healthy.
“It was a memorable and rewarding day for all of us,” said Maria and Keith Leadon, whose
daughter served as the 2014 Greater Cincinnati/N. Kentucky Ambassador. “When “Jazzy” was
born 10 weeks premature, we decided we wanted to do everything possible to help spare
other families from the trauma we experienced. We’re honored to represent the March of
Dimes today in return for all the support they’ve given us and our family.”
Money raised by the event funds research, education and local community grants for
programs such as the recently launched NICU Family Support® Program at University of
Cincinnati Medical Center. For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from
March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs.

premature birth and birth defects.
High-fives to all the walkers and contributors!

The primary care site operated by The HealthCare Connection at Greater Cincinnati
Behavioral Health Services (GCB) has earned Level III accreditation as a Patient Centered
Medical Home, the highest level possible. The recognition comes from the Physician
Practice Connections-Patient-Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMH) program and is given for
using evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and
long-term participative relationships.
“The HealthCare Connection provides primary health care at four behavioral health sites,”
explains Dolores Lindsay, MPH, CEO of The HealthCare Connection. “We partner with
behavioral health providers to care for their patients’ physical health while the behavioral
health providers are caring for their mental health.”
To receive recognition, which is valid for three years, the GCB primary care site
demonstrated the ability to meet the program’s key elements, representing characteristics
of the Patient Centered Medical Home. The standards are aligned with the joint principles
of the Patient Centered Medical Home established with the American College of Physicians,
the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the
American Osteopathic Association.
