To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Medicare and respond to changes to Medicare prescription drug coverage, we developed an "engagement site" for the Center for Medicare Advocacy (CMA). FairMedicare.org provides a consumer-oriented platform for CMA to cultivate the relationships it has with Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers. Visitors to the site can make a donation to the organization, take action on the latest campaign, listen to a Podcast, sign a petition, read the latest news, contact decision-makers and share their stories regarding access to quality healthcare. The Web site won a merit award from the 2005 World Wide Web Health Awards.

Douglas Gould and Company supports the communications, marketing and development efforts of the Frost Valley YMCA Camp by securing media coverage for their programs. Currently our team is raising visibility for a new Wellness Center, set to open in September 2008, and their pioneering Kidney Dialysis Program that enables youth with kidney disease to safely experience the joys of a traditional summer camp in a mainstreamed environment. Catering to a wide range of guests, the Frost Valley operates year-round, with one of the oldest youth summer sleep away camps in the nation and the popular family camp program. During the year, Frost Valley YMCA Camp also hosts a myriad of environmental education, leadership, retreats and conferences for schools and groups from around the world.
