Presidents Message
By Barbara Greenfield, RN BSN, CCM, CNLCP
Dear RNS Members and Friends;
The presentation in May by Purnima Karia, OTR/L, CDRS was wonderful. Purnima is an expert in driving evaluations, from Providence Little Company of Mary’s - Driver’s Mobility Program. Her presentation was effective and gave us a new foundation for educating our patient’s, clients, and the physician’s we work with regarding how a driver’s evaluations is a critical part of returning individual’s to a safe and independent life within their community.
If you missed the program and need further information please call the Rehabcentre at 310-514-5370.
The RNS Board is in the process of reviewing options for future presentations. Based on this discussion and difficulty in scheduling a presenter for the July 2012 meeting we have decided to cancel our July meeting.
A heart felt thank you goes out to our wonderful members who provided the great gifts for our raffle in May. I would like to thank Barbara Tucker of Dr. Heskiaoff’s Office, Maryanne Sawoski of Continuity Care Home Nurses and Deborah Buntin of Little Company of Mary.
I hope to see you at our next meeting in August. We will be meeting at Northridge Hospital on August 23, 2012 at 11:30. More information to come!
