Greetings, Prince William - The Human Services Alliance of Greater Prince William needs adult volunteers to serve on a committee to review grants submitted to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Community Grant Program.  Serving on the committee would require volunteers to review and score grant proposals.  Training and instruction will be provided.  This is a remote volunteer opportunity; however, internet access is required as an online grants management platform is being used.  Meetings will be held via Zoom, but some in-person meetings may be required.  The ARPA grant submission period ends March 13, and the review process will occur between March 14 and March 27.  Please visit https://bit.ly/3oXX7lN for more information; email [email protected] for more information.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
