March of Dimes Volunteer of the Year - Vicki Flanagan

During Vicki's 3-year tenure as Volunteer Leader, the chapter has transitioned from a struggling group to a highly polished, professional chapter that boasts an all-time high volunteer enrollment, strong medical partnerships, and national recognition.

Vicki's high energy allowed her to lead many efforts for the March of Dimes in a short period of time.Vicki works with a statewide group of 30 Volunteer Health Educators (health professionals who educate the public and other professionals about the MOD mission).Through her role as a highly credible nurse educator, she fostered partnerships between the March of Dimes and medical organizations like Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in Lebanon, Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough, Elliot Hospital in Manchester, Weeks Medical Center in Lancaster, and the Foundation for Healthy Communities in Concord.Vicki helped organize the first Health Leadership Awards Luncheon, whose 300 guests included the Commissioner of Health and Human services, the NH Medical Director and the National President of the March of Dimes.Vicki also assists with the MOD grant campaign by recruiting, identifying and developing volunteers, who review grant applications and choose grant recipients.

Thanks to its leadership comprised of volunteers such as Vicki, the New Hampshire March of Dimes, in 2001, has raised $100,000 to donate as local grants to improve the health of babies in New Hampshire.This money was granted to four New Hampshire organizations that provide women with prenatal health care, nutritional training, and smoking cessation counseling, all designed to promote maternal and child health, and to reduce the likelihood of birth defects.

The National March of Dimes has also awarded two major grants to Dartmouth College's Department of Biological Sciences to research genetic disorders.The first $100,000 grant, to Dr. Sharon E. Bickel's laboratory, supports research to improve the understanding of the causes of errors in cell division that occur during formation of egg cells that lead to chromosomal abnormalities such as Down Syndrome, and also to help explain why these errors become more common as women age.The second $100,000 grant, to Dr. Elizabeth F. Smith's laboratory, will support research to learn how genetic defects can paralyze microscopic cell components, known as "flagella and cilia", that propel sperm cells, move the fertilized egg through the oviduct, help form embryos, and clear debris from the lungs.This paralysis can contribute to birth defects, including Kartageners Syndrome, characterized by chronic lung infections and male sterility.
...
Vicki Flanagan says that the March of Dimes is "a very committed, very professional organization, able to transform ideas effectively into actions.""The March of Dimes' success is made possible with the strong support of institutional leaders like Dr. Judith Frank, Associate Director of the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth, and Dr. Barry Smith, Chairman of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at DHMC, she added.

Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), is a charitable, non-profit organization.It is located in Lebanon, New Hampshire.DHMC includes Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, a member of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Alliance, Dartmouth Medical School, the state's only medical school and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, a multi-specialty academic group practice.
