Thursday April 16, 2020 at 12:00 noon
If you would like to join us for our first live virtual meeting, please email me: Lindy@cancerservicesonline.org and I will send you the access code on Thursday morning. Julie and I will update you on information from Cancer Services and you will be able to ask questions you may have about your treatment or our current situation. We can share ideas and tips for making the "Stay at Home" order manageable.
Best of all, we will just be able to see one another and touch base!
Hope to see you on Thursday!

CDC Guidelines on Proper Use of
Masks and Gloves:
Masks (note that cloth masks must be washed after each use):
Find CDC Mask Guidelines Here! Their guidelines also include a variety of ways to make a mask out of a bandana or t-shirt. We have bandanas and rubber bands at Cancer Services and can put them out for pick up, if you need one. Call our office (336-760-9983) to request one!
However, they do have guides for healthcare providers using gloves, so if a you want to use them, you should follow the same recommendations, which includes (From https://www.cdc.gov/handhygiene/providers/index.html):
• Wear gloves, according to Standard Precautions, when it can be reasonably anticipated that contact with potentially infectious materials, mucous membranes, or contaminated equipment could occur.
• Gloves are not a substitute for hand hygiene.
If your task requires gloves, perform hand hygiene prior to donning gloves, before touching the environment. Perform hand hygiene immediately after removing gloves.
• Carefully remove gloves to prevent hand contamination while removing them.
