[NFBofSC] Seniors division's Second and Third Instructional Conference Calls - a Recording of the first, and notice of the second

[Melanie Torrance]

The Accessible Pharmacy from the seminar Steve referenced sounds wonderful. Owned and partially staffed by the Blind. They offer Pharmacy exclusively Services exclusively for the Bind.  Several varieties of packaging available in Braille or Large Print.
     Currently they are not licensed in SC, but licensure is pending. They have a pharmacist available through the “Be My Eyes” app. I’ll keep everyone posted when licensure is approved.

> Many of you may have heard of Non-24 Sleep Wake Disorder (also called Non-24). It’s a serious & rare circadian rhythm disorder and people living with Non-24 experience sleep struggles and excessive daytime sleepiness which can impair social and occupational functioning. It's often misdiagnosed. Vanda Pharmaceutical has a specialized team of Registered Nurse Educators who raise awareness of Non-24 through education and community outreach at events and support groups for the visually impaired.
> 
> You don’t have to be totally blind to have Non-24, but if you are totally blind, you are at a higher risk of developing it. Learn how to recognize the symptoms, how to talk to your doctor or family & friends is what our Nurse Educators and Health Educators do for those who feel they may need help.
