Organization Highlights

By Steve Mallory

 
  • Message board changes - you may have noticed that the area under your username on the message board has some new information.
    • State
    • Country flag
    • Age
    • Local time of post
    • Stroke association coming
  • Update profiles – I would appreciate it if everyone would update their profile on the message board. I recently modified the field that shows whether you are a stroke survivor, caregiver, etc. The old information for this field was deleted because the field changed. To update your profile you must login to the message board and click on the My Controls link. Click on Edit Profile and then update your information accordingly.
  • Bios needed – please submit your bio to Lin to be included in the Bio section of our newsletter. You can also add your bio yourself by going to the Gallery. Existing bios can be found there, as well.
  • Pictures needed – is your picture in our Gallery? We need pictures of our members. If you do not have a scanned photograph email me or Lin and we can arrange to scan it for free.
  • Business relationships – our organization could get involved with a business that puts your medical records on-line. Just think, you could go to a different doctor to treat you for a new ailment and by giving the secretary your medical card they could get your complete medical history. Your past and current drug plan with the dosages. Even pictures of your x-rays. I think this idea has tons of potential a might become the way of the future. Current fee is $96 per year but Stroke Network members would be offered a discount on the fee.
  • Language Disorders Chat – the February special chat for language disorders was another success! Several members attended the chat and shared specific problems and asked questions. This is a special organization chat that we plan to schedule each month. You can setup a reminder to automatically email you when we schedule the next one by logging in to the message board and selecting the Chat Schedule button.
