2019 Fall/Winter Connections Fall/Winter 2019 | Page 14

Members of the SCI community, together with family, friends, caregivers, medical staff and vendors gathered at MertoHealth Medical Center Main Campus on Friday September 27, 2019.

This was the day for the annual SCI Forum with this year’s theme: LIVING HEALTHY IN THE CLE. Over the course of the day, attendees were educated through medical presentations that included the all-encompassing “Ask the Doc” session, as well as focused presentations on “Bone Health” and “Managing Edema.” Another panel presentation providing potential assistance in the post-SCI journey was entitled “Resources in the Community.”

In addition to sessions, attendees had the opportunity to visit tables staffed by vendors to the SCI community. This was an opportunity to learn about products and services available, as well as discuss alternative solutions to issues being experienced by a community member.
