Even though Ariel has been through a lot, her first thought when meeting other people is that they have struggles, too. Therefore, she tries to treat everyone with kindness and live a life of gratitude. YOUR IMPACT You are the reason Ariel is where she is today. Nearly all of the funding for ONE Health has come from our generous donors. Last year, ONE Health received more than $413,000 in donor support. These gifts enabled the program to add more team members. In turn, ONE Health was able to care for more patients. In FY20, the number of program participants grew from 224 to 430 (92% increase) and program “graduates,” i.e. patients who moved from crisis to self-sufficiency, grew from 65 to 159 (145% increase). To date, these patients experienced a 51% reduction in emergency department visits, a 69% reduction in inpatient admissions, a 62% reduction in the total cost of care, and a total of $11,616,605 in costs avoided. Support from you is vital to the continued success of ONE Health.

Miss Coralotta looks out for me. She knows me better than anyone, and I look at her like a mother.” Now, Ariel hopes to continue healing and get strong enough to help others – because, despite her hardships, she wants the moral of the life story she is writing to be one of compassion and love. regionalonehealth.org/foundation/change-a-life-donate-today/ 5
