FOREWORD by Karina Andersen, Founder
I am humbled by a year of incredible growth.
We have opened so many new and exciting doors and partnered with like-minded souls who deeply connect to our passion and our purpose. These partnerships have allowed us to extend ourselves even further and gift especially South African youth-at-risk with our enabling platform, a TRI toolkit and our SmilingOne Change Agents!
2018/19 has allowed for years of deeply focused Change Agent work to move to the next level! I love how the journey guides us. It keeps revealing the steps to take. At times we are called to pause and at other times we are called to stretch. It has been a year of huge stretch. It continues to ask for more and that we bow to the process. Only when we bow can we open our hearts and minds to purify our intent. We are here to SERVE a much greater purpose than ourselves. We want to cause ripples of change which will echo in the hearts and minds of those we touch. We want to leave a lasting footprint and be woven into the tapestry of lives transformed forever. Just like nature every single process is connected. WE are all connected! There is a greater rhythm to honour - a grand symphony. My task is to keep us honest and aligned to this wonderful balance which begins with how we as a SmilingOne Team live and practice our own consciousness toolkit, grounding ourselves firmly, moving from our deepest essence.
I am thrilled to share our annual report with you and invite you to celebrate with us the wonderful progress…
In Gratitude, Karina - SmilingOne Founder
An effort to start a Summer School in the Pulaski-Lighthouse District on Erie's East Side. This would establish a beachhead for Sarah Reed to begin working with children on Erie's East Side after being on Erie West Side for four years. The success of the ARP Summer Program helped to lay the groundwork toward putting back the "soul" into the former St Ann's School built in 1925.
To date over $500,000 of improvements have been made to the building under Phase#1 ,new heating and cooling, IT Infrastructure upgrades, classroom equipment, technology. Once two new roofs are completed. Phase #2 begins to address a plethora of needs internally.
An impact report on our 2023 Summer & Math Program/STEAM Initiative of the accomplishments made possible through EITC donations for this program held every summer at our Sarah Reed Main Campus. Where we provide math, reading and STEAM skills to the children that attend.
A quick look at the beginning of the St Ann's Campus and how it fits into the Sarah Reed Childrens Center efforts to work with children with behavioral issues on Erie's East Side..Know as the Pulaski-Lighthouse District. Sarah Reed bought this school from the Diocese of Erie in 1986.Presently we have over 70 children enrolled and have helped over 86 over this 2023-2024 Academic Year.
We have initiated a Phase #1 improvement Plan for our St Ann's Campus in the Pulaski-Lighthouse District in the City of Erie. After a very successful Summer 2022 Program on the campus. We made an analysis of the necessary improvements we need to make for the students we educate at our St Ann's Campus. One of the first efforts was to upgrade the aging classroom furniture in 10 of our classrooms. We developed this Case Study in collaboration with School Specialty. This was one component of our $500,000 Phase #1effort to bring back the soul of the building that has a true history of being the site where many children have received an education in this school on Erie's East Side. www.sarahreed.org

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

"It is easy to estimate the value of the property and tell of the thoroughly
organized institution that has grown out of a venture of faith.
But who can estimate the good it has done or follow its far reaching
influences? Volumes would not tell the story of all the lives it has helped."

3. Letter from the President and CEO
s advances in behavioral health treatment continue to evolve and change, Sarah Reed’s Vision to be a center of excellence
providing innovative evidence-based treatment and services through research, clinical practice and professional training is
more important than ever. It has always been our mission to improve the well-being of every person who seeks our services.
But, as populations and needs shift, technology advances and competition continues to emerge, we’re facing new challenges
every day.
To rise above these challenges, it’s imperative that we leverage our unique strengths. We must continue to build upon the
passion and dedication of our talented staff and the unmatched quality of the care that we provide. Additionally, we must
take full advantage of the potential power of our diversified services and respond to the changing needs of our clients and community.
In an effort to fully understand our core competencies and strengths as well as our weaknesses and threats, we once again engaged the services of Decision
Associates for their strategic planning expertise. Over the past six months, guided by our consultant, eight members of our senior staff reviewed and analyzed
data from our Board of Directors, staff, community members and stakeholders. The result of their work is our new strategic plan. That plan clearly outlines
seven goals and provides strategies for reaching each.
During the current planning process, the committee discovered that many people agree about the path our organization needs to take in order to improve our
services and to remain a leader in providing Behavioral Health Services.
Because so many people contributed to this effort, I am confident that we can achieve the ultimate goal of strategic planning: Aligning our resources with our
priorities so that we can continue to fulfill our mission, vision and values. Creating a written document, however, is only the first step in an ongoing process
that must be sustained with careful oversight and activity. Guided by seven strategies, the new strategic plan will serve as our roadmap for the future.
Finally, our Board and senior staff will now oversee the implementation of the plan. Key performance indicators will help track the progress over the coming
years and ongoing communication and engagement with the Board will ensure that strategic planning remains part of our culture.
I’m grateful to the many who contributed their time, energy and ideas to creating this plan! This is an exciting time for all of us here at Sarah Reed and I
firmly believe that we will continue to have success now and in the future. Clearly, our best years lie ahead and I’m grateful in advance for your continued
participation and feedback to make this organization a model for all who work here or seek treatment.
Sincerely,

4. About Sarah A. Reed Children's Center
he Children’s Center was founded in 1871, in Erie, Pennsylvania, by a group of women interested in helping
orphaned and homeless children. Sarah Reed was an original member of this group who founded "The Association
for Improving the Conditions of the Poor, and a Home for the Friendless.” Miss Reed served as President for 45
years from 1889 to her death in 1934. Her contributions to the agency’s early development were so substantial
that in 1935 the Center was renamed in her honor. Over a period of thirty years the organization evolved.
In 1961 Sarah A. Reed Children's Center opened its main campus in Millcreek Township. By 1978, all children
referred to the Sarah Reed Residential Program required specialized mental health treatment, thus ushering in a
new era of services designed for children. In 1986, two independent nonprofit corporations emerged: Sarah A.
Reed Children's Center and the Sarah Reed Retirement Center.
Today, Sarah Reed is a multi-service agency focusing on prevention, early identification, care and treatment of children and families struggling with life
traumas. The Children’s Center serves a geographic area to include all counties in Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of
New York State. The agency serves over 900 children and adolescents per day at our 5 program facilities, area school
districts and community-based services.
As it enters its 148th year as a leader in the field of behavioral health, Sarah Reed and its highly qualified staff has been
innovative, proactive, and focused on providing the most effective and efficient services to the Erie community and
beyond. We have expanded our reach to serve more kids across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as well as more
children, adolescents, families, and adults in our own community. Highlights include our new CSBBH program in
Union City, our new Psychological Assessment Clinic, and our new Ridgefield Campus for clinical and educational
services.
The future of our agency is bright. We are driven by our collective knowledge and wisdom, skills and talents, and
innovation and leadership to be laser-focused on the behavioral health and wellness of the individuals we serve now and
those we will serve in the future. We will positively impact our community by developing cutting edge, well-supported,
and holistic services that encapsulate the spirit of Sarah Reed as a beacon of hope and a pathway towards healing for all.
