HAPpy Retirement to Lisa!
The HCQU Staff celebrated almost 15 years with Lisa Wile, who retired on May 30th. She enjoyed a lunch at her favorite spot, Dock Siders on the Kinzua Reservoir, and gifts from the staff who appreciate all the hard work and joy she’s brought to the office. We wish Lisa all the luck moving forward.
Upcoming Webinars
July 10th Fatal Five Plus
The Fatal Five (actually, Six) — Aspiration, Sepsis, Dehydration, Constipation, Seizures, and, the latest addition, Sepsis—are conditions which commonly afflict persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism. A key to preventing these conditions from getting to a life-threatening stage, or in some cases, from developing at all, is to be aware of the signs and symptoms they can cause, especially when supporting persons who may face communication challenges. During this one-hour webinar, we will explore these clues, and will also provide information on practical steps to take in order to keep people safe. Please join us to pick up a few more tools for your toolbox.
