Our September meeting was most informative with terrific guest speakers.
Marcella Olvera-Justic, a representative with Sterling Health Plans, spoke extensively regarding Medicare Supplements, Secondary to Original Medicare. Her information was well received as supplemental insurance is often needed when dealing with chronic illnesses such as vasculitis, yet not always easy to find.
Mona and Bob Fisher addressed New and Emerging Therapies in Vasculitis with up to date information they learned at the recent Vasculitis Symposium in Long Beach. Mona is a Bechet’s patient, who has done extensive research to understand vasculitis diseases and continues to do all she can to be the best “student of her personal health.” Bob shared his journey as a caregiver and how important this role is for the patient, at the same time stressing the importance of managing his own health to allow him to remain healthy for himself as well as his family.
Handouts are available on all topics; email Carole and they can be emailed to you.
Our speakers will be participating in the Phoenix Chapter blog to allow ongoing dialogue between meetings.
VASCULITIS LITERATURE
Some of our Chapter members have asked for a supply of vasculitis literature to provide to their physicians when they have their appointments. If you would like packets of information sent to you, please let me know………….we are happy to send this to you. It is our goal to do all we can to raise the awareness, support education and one another as we all continue to learn more about the vasculitis diseases.
