support Group

 

Hello,

 

Before giving information about our meeting this week, I'd like to summarize
the meeting of June 16. Andy Burstein from Accessible Pharmacy was
informative and gave everyone so much information about his company. From
what he said, they have covered all aspects of making sure that people
receive the best pharmaceutical care that is available. Some quick notes: 

*	Call 215-799-9900.(SIRI can also call with the statement "call
accessible Pharmacy.)
*	Take all insurance
*	Will speak with insurance company, doctors and your current
pharmacist. Do a complete pharmaceutical history to find out just what kind
of accessible needs person has
*	Ten different types of packaging to make sure they can serve each
client
*	Everything is free
*	Creativity knows no bounds, even different shaped bottles to suit
your needs.
*	Always thinking out of the box. 

 

Our support group for this week will be another presentation from Deborah
Kendrick, a blind woman who has also lost most of her hearing. Her first
book was specifically for folks who are blind or low vision. The focus was
dealing with medical personnel. Her second book is about dealing with
medical personnel when you are both blind and loosing your hearing. She is
an amazing writer and I think we will all gain much from listening to her
presentation.

 

See you via Zoom on Wednesday, June 23!
