Upcoming family support group meeting - Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012

Come hear a representative from the Tri-State Advocacy Project for Spinal Cord and Burn Injured Survivors and Amputees, a grassroots organization dedicated to improving the lives of children with special healthcare needs, share advice and answer families’ questions. This organization has been helpful in making needed alterations and accommodations in the homes of some of our patients free of charge. We will also be discussing future plans for the support group and the Pediatric Stroke Program in general.

The meeting is from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and will be held in Wood Club C on the sixth floor of the Wood Building. As always, lunch and parking will be provided.

Please RSVP by Friday, Feb. 17, to Lois Robbins, MSW, at robbinsl@email.chop.edu or 267-426-0218 if you would like to join us.
