[Hidden-tech] Connecting you to Springfield health facility

[A - Z International]

Hi all,

Part of Hidden-Tech's mission is to connect you to regional institutions. 
In that vein, I attended a beautiful session today at Mercy Hospital in 
Springfield (part of Sisters of Providence Health System) that literally 
brought me to tears. Of all the health care facilities in the region, 
Sister of Providence is probably the most dedicated to aiding indigents, 
abused children and the downtrodden.

The hospital is holding a number of sessions in the near future to 
enlighten people to their facilities -- which are many -- and their 
mission. And, of course, institutions of this size often hire 
subcontractors. So you may find ways to both volunteer your services and 
develop a relationship that will win you work down the line.

I also talked to several administrators about holding the fall health 
insurance program at Mercy Hospital. With the change in Mass law this is a 
most urgent topic and the hospital has several experts on staff well versed 
in the new legislation who could help us.

If you're interested in attending an introductory session on the hospital 
the upcoming dates are 6/22/06 at 8 -  9 a.m. or 7/17/06 from noon to 1 
p.m. There is no charge and refreshments are served. Make sure to bring 
plenty of tissues because some of the stories they have to related, 
particularly about children, will really pull on your heartstrings.
