  • Revolutionary War reenactors (LtoR) Mark Spangenberg, Lowell Curry, Stuart Steele, Steve Ware, and Don Saunders were able to fire a newly refurbished canon Saturday, September 30, 2006 at Guilford Battleground Park in Greensboro, NC. There was a two year wait for the new carriage, made of painted oak and hickory wood, to be delivered to the park. The six period costumed reenactors form a gun crew for the park's six-pound cannon, a bronze artillery piece which now sits on a new wooden carriage to replace the old one that had literally rotted apart. The replica bronze canon tube was cast in 1976. 200 years ago, an actual battle a trained gun crew could have fired the cannon 10 times in a minute. They fired it a bit more slowly Saturday, shooting the canon about every 15 minutes. During the Revolutionary War battle at Guilford Courthouse, General Nathanael Greene, commanded four such canons. The statue in the background is of General Nathanael Greene. (Jerry Wolford)

  • Mustard Seed Community Health<br />
<br />
The American Academy of Pediatrics defines a “medical home” as a patient, or family-centered medical care facility organized by a primary care provider and associated team that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally effective. In Guilford County, there are approximately 45,000 uninsured people at or below 200% of the federal poverty level—that’s approximately $23,000 gross yearly income for an individual; $47,000 per year for a family of four. There are thousands more low-income individuals who are under-insured—meaning they spend more than 5% of their income on out-of-pocket medical expenses or meeting their deductibles.<br />
<br />
Most of the county’s uninsured and underinsured have no “medical home,” so they are at great risk of medical and financial complications owing to poor management of chronic health conditions, inadequate treatment of serious illnesses, lack of access to needed medications, and other problems associated with irregular or non-existent medical care.<br />
<br />
Mustard Seed Community Health was initiated in response to the large number of uninsured and underinsured people in Guilford County without access to healthcare. Early in our planning, two dramatic changes in Guilford County’s ability to provide medical care for this at risk population compounded access difficulties. First was the 2013 closing of the largest local “medical home” serving 8,500 patients and the North Carolina General Assembly’s decisions not to expand Medicaid leaving tens of thousands with no insurance coverage. Led by Elizabeth Mulberry, MD and Kevin Devine, MPA; the Mustard Seed task force obtained pledges from community medical leaders, business leaders, and faith communities to support us in our mission of providing high quality, holistic, integrated healthcare to those in need.<br />

  • Mustard Seed Community Health<br />
<br />
The American Academy of Pediatrics defines a “medical home” as a patient, or family-centered medical care facility organized by a primary care provider and associated team that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally effective. In Guilford County, there are approximately 45,000 uninsured people at or below 200% of the federal poverty level—that’s approximately $23,000 gross yearly income for an individual; $47,000 per year for a family of four. There are thousands more low-income individuals who are under-insured—meaning they spend more than 5% of their income on out-of-pocket medical expenses or meeting their deductibles.<br />
<br />
Most of the county’s uninsured and underinsured have no “medical home,” so they are at great risk of medical and financial complications owing to poor management of chronic health conditions, inadequate treatment of serious illnesses, lack of access to needed medications, and other problems associated with irregular or non-existent medical care.<br />
<br />
Mustard Seed Community Health was initiated in response to the large number of uninsured and underinsured people in Guilford County without access to healthcare. Early in our planning, two dramatic changes in Guilford County’s ability to provide medical care for this at risk population compounded access difficulties. First was the 2013 closing of the largest local “medical home” serving 8,500 patients and the North Carolina General Assembly’s decisions not to expand Medicaid leaving tens of thousands with no insurance coverage. Led by Elizabeth Mulberry, MD and Kevin Devine, MPA; the Mustard Seed task force obtained pledges from community medical leaders, business leaders, and faith communities to support us in our mission of providing high quality, holistic, integrated healthcare to those in need.<br />

Today she is a pattern maker at VF Corp., a $12 billion apparel and footwear powerhouse.

<br />
The American Academy of Pediatrics defines a “medical home” as a patient, or family-centered medical care facility organized by a primary care provider and associated team that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally effective. In Guilford County, there are approximately 45,000 uninsured people at or below 200% of the federal poverty level—that’s approximately $23,000 gross yearly income for an individual; $47,000 per year for a family of four. There are thousands more low-income individuals who are under-insured—meaning they spend more than 5% of their income on out-of-pocket medical expenses or meeting their deductibles.<br />
<br />
Most of the county’s uninsured and underinsured have no “medical home,” so they are at great risk of medical and financial complications owing to poor management of chronic health conditions, inadequate treatment of serious illnesses, lack of access to needed medications, and other problems associated with irregular or non-existent medical care.<br />
<br />
Mustard Seed Community Health was initiated in response to the large number of uninsured and underinsured people in Guilford County without access to healthcare. Early in our planning, two dramatic changes in Guilford County’s ability to provide medical care for this at risk population compounded access difficulties. First was the 2013 closing of the largest local “medical home” serving 8,500 patients and the North Carolina General Assembly’s decisions not to expand Medicaid leaving tens of thousands with no insurance coverage. Led by Elizabeth Mulberry, MD and Kevin Devine, MPA; the Mustard Seed task force obtained pledges from community medical leaders, business leaders, and faith communities to support us in our mission of providing high quality, holistic, integrated healthcare to those in need.<br />

<br />
The 8th annual Running of the Balls, a night run/walk on a 5K(ish) course, winds through the Sunset Hills neighborhood. Participants run through one of the largest neighborhood light displays in the United States. Started years ago, the residents of this neighborhood decorate their 50-foot tall trees with enormous "Lighted Christmas Balls."<br />
Now the third largest race in Greensboro, its 3,500 runners annually raise more than $50,000 for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC. Recognized by Runners World as an internationally unique event, the race draws participants from around the world through allowing them to experience the Lighted Christmas Balls of Sunset Hills at night. Adding to the ambiance of the race, the neighborhood course is filled with 7 stages of music. Homeowners often enjoy the event with friends caroling by campfire and having hot chocolate and cookies in the Start/Finish area.<br />
The 3,500 person field is regularly sold out within one month of registration opening.<br />
