support groups

[Guest guest]

Hi Marilouise,

I think a support group for dr. H patients would be great. We're only about

an hour away, so it would be pretty easy for us to attend...

Two ideas of where to meet: I've never been in the playroom on the 5th

floor, but perhaps if we let Dr. H. know about the group, he could arrange

for us to use the playroom if it's not too small...There's also a small

conference room up there. We could just bring our own toys, lunch, etc.

Also, across the street from Sinai is the house like a Mc

house. They probably have a playroom and/or meeting room they might let us

use, especially if it was a support group sanctioned by Dr. H. They might

even have some suggestions for other local places to meet.

I think and I will still start a group here in Northern Virginia for

those parents who don't have internet or don't think to do research on the

internet until their child is 8 months old and facing surgery! or there's a

problem with treatment.

My idea of people starting support groups was in response to the realization

that the vast majority of parents either don't have internet access,

wouldn't think to question their doctor, or won't think to do research on

their own until there's a problem with their treatment...

Thanks for being willing to find a place for us to meet!

Best, Joanne W.
