  Hi, everyone.  Please join us for the following teleseminar on October 22.

  Guide Dogs in Hospitals & Other Health Care Facilities

              What are your rights as a guide dog user when visiting family or friends in the hospital? As a patient, do you have the right to have your dog in the room with you? Are there places or conditions in which you can be restricted from being accompanied by your guide dog? Can your doctor deny you the right to have your guide dog with you in an examination room? Can an ambulance refuse to transport your guide dog with you? These questions and many more will be answered in an upcoming  special teleseminar.

              The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU), a strong and proud division of the National Federation of the Blind, will host "Guide Dogs in Hospitals & Other Health Care Facilities" on Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. eastern  standard Time (7:00 pm Central; 6:00 pm Mountain; and 5:00 pm Pacific).
