CHILDREN LIVING WITH PAIN, ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES, WERE INVITED TO MORGAN'S WONDERLAND CAMP IN TEXAS, A FULLY ACCESSIBLE SUMMER CAMP FOR KIDS WITH VARIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND NEEDS. CAMPERS RODE HORSES, COMPLETED A CHALLENGE COURSE, CLIMBED A ROCK WALL, LEARNED ABOUT WILDLIFE, WENT SWIMMING, COMPLETED ARCHERY CHALLENGES, AND MUCH MORE, IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT RESPONDED TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND MADE EVERY ACTIVITY ACCESSIBLE TO THEM. U.S. PAIN FOUNDATION HOSTED DAILY SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS AT CAMP FOR PAIN WARRIORS, THEIR SIBLINGS, AND THEIR PARENTS, ALLOWING THEM TO CONNECT AT A DEEPER LEVEL, SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES AND FRUSTRATIONS, AND OFFER ADVICE. SEVERAL EDUCATIONAL AND ACTIVITY PROGRAMS WERE OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AS WELL. U.S. PAIN'S FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, THE INVISIBLE PROJECT, IS A PRINT AND ONLINE MAGAZINE THAT SHOWS THE REALITY OF LIFE WITH PAIN THROUGH STORIES, PHOTOS, AND EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES. IN 2023, THE ORGANIZATION PUBLISHED ITS THIRD EDITION FOCUSED ON HEALTH CARE DISPARITIES. TO LAUNCH EACH EDITION, THE INVISIBLE PROJECT HOSTED VIRTUAL LAUNCH PARTIES. EDUCATION IS FUNDAMENTAL IN HELPING IMPROVE PATIENT-PROVIDER RELATIONSHIPS, POSITIVE TREATMENT MANAGEMENT OUTCOMES, AND ENSURING PATIENTS ARE MORE CONNECTED TO THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR MORE PATIENT-EDUCATION CONTENT, IN 2023 WE PROVIDED EVEN MORE VALUABLE EDUCATION THROUGH ONLINE EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS (BUILDING YOUR TOOLBOX), INFORMATIVE ARTICLES, AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES-AVAILABLE ONLINE AND TO ORDER FOR FREE. 559922 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 27 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CT AL AR CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI CO ME ND AK X X X CFO 8606049482 15 NORTH MAIN STREET UNIT 100 WEST HARTFORD CT 06107 SHAWN DICKENS CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ED BILSKY TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA BEGLEY SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ELLEN LENOX SMITH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARV TURNER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLE HEMMENWAY DYER PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X 125000 0 0 PAMELA LYNCH CFO 20.00 X 65000 0 0 190000 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 609617 124225 609617 71 71 10538 0 10538 10538 EMPLOYEE RETENTION CR. 900099 21947 21947 OTHER INCOME 900099 1850 1850 23797 644023 23797 0 10609 247902 221529 7475 18898 21109 18607 633 1869 13998 7114 2158 4726 4672 4672 48218 41056 3037 4125 2999 1660 1339 20269 19652 617 11072 8535 2537 174 174 14203 7527 6676 PROGRAM AND EVENTS 194489 194489 I.T./WEBSITE/PHONE 26518 22232 2182 2104 LICENSES/REGISTRATIONS 11610 9850 1760 PRINTING, POSTAGE AND S 6771 6596 175 3292 1075 540 1677 627296 559922 29061 38313 127638 315494 122500 168000 4086 4451 1990 376 1788 1614 201165 300 457177 489859 64586 80541 64586 80541 X 277591 298318 115000 111000 392591 409318 457177 489859 16727 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 1282617 851628 690276 936165 639843 4400529 1282617 851628 690276 936165 639843 4400529 4400529 9546 1679 1972 67 71 13335 133817 110555 135144 3736 1850 385102 4798966 0.91700 0.93180 X PART II, SHORT YEAR EXPLANATION: THE ORGANIZATION CHANGED THE FISCAL YEAR END TO JUNE 30, 2023.
