June 13, 2017 was our final Medical Home meeting before summer break.  Elaine Gabovitch joined us at the meeting and introduced herself as the new Director of the Department of Public Health.

During this meeting we heard from Jill Chaban and Meredith Ferra from Epic Health.  Jill and Meredith explained that Epic Health care is merging with PSA and now will be called Eveanna.  They shared a wonderful slide show of services through Eveanna.  Although some of the services did not apply to this area, it was great to see what  services could possibly come in the future.

Lois Brown from Stavros, Home Sweet Home Program shared some amazing resources with the group.  She explained that her program is able to help families with obtaining ramps for their homes or apartments.  Lois is very knowledgeable in regards to this process and has been extremely helpful with many families.  Lois can be contacted at (413)256-0473.  Here is the FundingPacket she shared with the group and wanted us to pass it along.

Thank you everyone for their attendance this year and participating in this group.  We would also like to thank all the speakers this year for sharing their knowledge on many different topics.  We hope you all enjoy your summer and look forward to seeing you at the next meeting; September 12, 2017 at 9:15am, at Shriners.
