The annual winter conference of the North
Simcoe Muskoka Hospice Palliative Care Network (NSMHPCN) is coming up on
Tuesday, October 21, 2014 at the Grandview Golf Club in Huntsville. The theme
is “Consent, Capacity & Compassion Fatigue.”
I’ll be there as an exhibitor in my role as the owner of
Brabary, but I’ll also be there as a participant. I always find the sessions
incredibly informative and helpful, and the tools I learn there I can relate
back to all areas of my life and business.
I first started attending back when I met someone who was
involved in putting on the conference. Her mother was in town and needed a prosthesis,
so they found their way to us at Brabary. She suggested we get involved with
the conference, since so many health care professionals aren’t aware of the
options for their patients – and other people in their lives who may need
prostheses.
This upcoming event got me thinking about all the different
resources that are out there for people who are going through a cancer journey,
such as Gilda’s Club
(emotional and social support), Canadian
Cancer Society (rides to treatment and lots of information), or retail
stores like ours that provide products and personalized
fittings and support.
