May 2009: A film crew from Mutual of Omaha Insurance setup their portable filming studio (a converted Streamline trailer) in Harmony's parking lot to film some spots for their "Aha Moment" campaign.
Their web site features a Blog which includes highlights of the film crew's experiences along the tour. The Blog entry for their visit to Little Rock, Arkansas features Kanisha, one of Harmony's wonderful volunteers.
Harmony's web site is a featured link on the Aha Moment Blog. Every bit of exposure helps, and Harmony is grateful to Mutual of Omaha for the exposure they are helping provide.
Several people from Harmony agreed to be filmed to help promote the clinic including Eddie our Executive Director, Dr. Hopkins our Medical Director, and several volunteers.
In total, 8 people from Harmony were filmed. The links to their Aha Moments can be found below (in alphabetical order) along with descriptions and titles. Please enjoy viewing our Aha Moments. We hope that you find inspiration in them and that you will share your thoughts and comments with us which can be done by signing up as a member at the Aha Moment web site and then writing something in the comments area under each video.
Derotha is a Registered Nurse (RN) who volunteers at Harmony
Through my role as a community activist, I have helped others learn to help themselves.
Dr. Hopkins is a Medical Doctor (MD) and serves as Harmony's Medical Director and as a Board Member
I was working on a project to open a clinic for the uninsured for several years. After the opening, we saw our first patient. She had no money, no health insurance. After examination, she gave the medical student a big hug, and her smile lit up the room. She was so pleased that someone cared about her. This moment validated all my efforts working toward becoming a physician for over 25 years. Medicine is not about things. It’s about people and care.
Eddie is Harmony Health Clinic's Executive Director
When I started working at Harmony Clinic, I realized this is where I was supposed to be...a part of this special clinic.
Elizabeth is an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) who volunteers at Harmony
It really takes a lot to be a volunteer, you give up so much personal time. When I was at the clinic's opening picnic, I saw all the people who had come together to give whatever gift they had to offer, and I felt like we were all in this together. It's wonderful to be able to share the love with a group of volunteers.
Girindra is a Medical Doctor (MD) who volunteers at Harmony
I had wanted to be a jet pilot. Then, there was a time my uncle suffered an accident, and went from being a star athlete to being a paraplegic. Within 6 months of that, my aunt developed a brain tumor. No one in my family had a medical background. That's when I realized that I would like to pursue a career in medicine.
Kanisha volunteers at Harmony as part of our Administrative and Intake team
When I knew I could make a tremendous difference in my neighborhood.
Paula has helped with Administrative duties at the Clinic
I have always loved helping people, and this is my chance to help people have the medical care they deserve.
Ron volunteers at Harmony as part of our Administrative and Intake team
My aha moment was when I realized I had something to contribute after seeing a need. Individuals as a whole can help as much as government, corporations or big businesses.
