The Arc of Cape May County received a $10,000 grant from the Community Foundation of South Jersey to pilot a telemedicine service for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The nonprofit said the software for StationMD delivers superior care to the most vulnerable populations, while also reducing unnecessary hospital use. It allows those with IDD to understand and communicate with medical experts and provide in-person care as needed.
“The Arcs throughout our state, especially in our backyard of South Jersey, have done tremendous work for those in need, setting them up for success and allowing those in the Arc of Cape May County’s care to live a life of inclusion and participation in the community,” CFSJ Executive Director Andy Fraizer said. “When we learned the Arc of Cape May County was in need, we acted. Being able to help a great organization in South Jersey is what the Community Foundation of South Jersey is all about.”
The grant from CFSJ will not only allow the Arc to pilot the telemedicine service, but it will allow it to conduct its work in a safer environment as it continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
