make up most of Whole Health’s clients,
29 percent of the clinic’s patients have
private insurance.

Last fall, Whole Family earned a desig-
nation that will help it move forward and
grow. After an effort that began in 2014,
it finally became a Federally Qualified
Health Center Lookalike, a status that
assures can continue with its subsidized
pharmacy program, but a step beneath
its competitor, Treasure Coast Commu-
nity Health, whose “access point” status
allows it to get government grants.

Whole Family board chairman Stephan
Trooboff spoke in June to the Hospital
District board, invited by Chairwoman
Marybeth Cunningham in an effort to
make the clinic more broadly known as
a provider of low-cost care. Trooboff said
Whole Health’s business model will even-
tually require more locations.

“I’ve been talking to CEOs of commu-
nity clinics across the country and the
real secret to their success is access. They
have 15 offices, 18 offices, they operate
out of public schools, they have mobile
vans. You name it: they are taking patient
care to the patient, rather than the pa-
tient coming to them.”

Trooboff has spoken with leaders of
United Against Poverty, which he called
a “perfect place” for a satellite clinic. He
also has an eye on the Senior Resource
Association.

“You’ve got our patient population,”
he told Hospital District Trustee Karen
Deigl, who is Senior Resource’s executive
director. “If you think about it, it’s a lot
easier to take care to the patient with the
kind of patients we’re getting.”

Trooboff spent 15 years on the board
of directors of an expanding hospital sys-
tem in New Hampshire. He joined Whole
Family’s board when he retired to Vero
and has been board chair for close to a
year.

“We gross $12 million a year,” he said.
“Our goal is to make 2 percent on the $12
million to pay our bills and move into the
next year.”

Whole Family does not receive taxpay-
er dollars through the county’s Hospital

Trooboff said data shows that in the
three Indian River County zip codes
where most of Whole Health’s patients
live, there are 17,626 people with unmet
medical needs who are subsisting on in-
come below 138 percent of federal pover-
ty guidelines.

For now, the only way for those people
to find out about Whole Family is by word
of mouth. For all the growth the clinic is
enjoying, it does no advertising, pass-
es out no brochures, and buys no ads in
newspapers or on radio.

“That’s probably the most interesting
thing to me – that we’ve done all that
without marketing,” Trooboff told the
District board.

Like all low-cost clinics, Whole Family’s
patient population has complex medical
challenges. Clinic physician Dr. Oni went
to medical school in Nigeria, practiced in
the U.K. and then came to the U.S. in 2005
to do a residency in internal medicine in
New York. She described to the Hospital
District board heart-rending scenarios
among her low-income patients.

“They are in and out of care; they lose
insurance all the time or don’t have in-
surance. They’ll visit the ER when there’s
a problem, and sometimes visit three or
four different ones. It’s a very challenging
population to look after.”

Describing a hypothetical example of a
typical patient, Oni talks about a 60-year-
old woman who hasn’t been treated in a
year and a half, despite hypertension and
diabetes that are close to out of control.
“She may not remember the names of
her medication, and she may not even be
able to read the labels on her drugs.”

A new complication brought the pa-
tient in most recently – a sore on her foot
related to diabetes.

“You get her situated and started back
on medications, and you order lab re-
sults. But now you can’t reach her be-
cause her phone’s been disconnected,”
Oni said. “You can’t communicate things
within a prompt manner.”

That precipitates another cycle of
skipped appointments. And more com-
plications.

Adolescent patients are “a mirror im-
age of the adults,” Oni said. “They too
have bad Medicaid plans. They’re in and
out of care, they come from dysfunction-
al households, and some can be a real
challenge to look after.

“We really do a lot of hand holding,”
said Oni, “and a lot of educating.” 

A wood-frame house with wood siding
on a 1.25-acre lot north of town at 4850
65th St. was cherished by one family since
it was built in 1986.

Before the owners put it on the market,
every surface was burnished and big-tick-

which shows in the high-quality materials
they used. They took time renovating it too

There is room to stretch and grow. The

deep. The home is near the front of the lot,

NORTH

HOW MANY LINES ARE THERE TO FOLLOW? KQ743

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist AQ

Jean Nidetch, a co-founder of Weight Watchers, said, “It’s choice — not chance — that K85
determines your destiny.”
A Q 10
That is not always true at the bridge table. Sometimes, as we have seen over the last few
weeks, you make your choice for a line of play, and it is up to chance whether it works or WEST EAST
not — unless it has a probability of 100 percent. —
?872 96
Does declarer have a guaranteed line in today’s deal, or must he choose the approach that 9643
is mathematically most likely to work? ?8652 ? 10 9 5 4

West leads a low heart against South’s six-spade contract. What should declarer do? J 10 2

North blasted straight into Blackwood, eventually putting his partner into six spades when ?73
he learned that two kings were missing.
SOUTH
South starts with 11 winners: six spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club. There
are two obvious chances to make this small slam: Either the heart or club finesse works. A J 10 8 5 2
But there is a third line; do you see it?
63
If East has the heart king, the slam is laydown with an endplay. Declarer wins with
dummy’s heart ace, draws trumps, cashes his diamond winners and exits with a heart. AQ7
Assuming East takes that trick, he must either lead a club around to the dummy or
concede a ruff-and-sluff (South sluffs a club from his hand and ruffs on the board). Note J4
also that if West does produce the heart king, the club finesse is still available.
Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Both
Finally, yes, it would have been simpler if North had signed off in six no-trump. North has
12 tricks after taking the club finesse, even if it loses. The Bidding:

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
1 Spades Pass 4 NT Pass
5 Hearts Pass 5 NT Pass LEAD:
6 Clubs Pass 6 Spades All Pass 2 Hearts
