Welcome to the newsletter of Boquete Health and Hospice Is this email not displaying correctly?  View it in your browser. Looking Back on 2017 Early in 2017 the BHHF board met to define our vision and mission statement and goals for the year. Our vision and mission statement is: To inform and promote community health: and, to support people with needs by providing information, equipment and services. The goals were developed this year to reflect the expansion of our services to the Boquete and surrounding area. Our goal of providing health information to the community was addressed with a new and informative website, Being Prepared and Preventing Falls presentations, an informational video and the first Health Fair. This educational outreach increased the public awareness of our organization as well as provided vital health information. Our equipment loan program has grown. We now have an additional storage room for our equipment and now have room to store our 17 oxygen concentrators. At this time about 25% of our equipment is loaned out to Panamanians. We hope to expand our loan program even more to the Panamanian and expat community. Our home health care and hospice services continue to be an important part of our organization. We have expanded our respiratory support program. Numerous meals were delivered, home visitations made, rides given and home support care provided this past year. We continue to recruit volunteers to maintain our services and twenty-three individuals have signed up so far for the next training to take place in early 2018. BHHF was successful in expanding our programs and reaching out even more to the community. In return, we have received many generous donations which will enable us to continue growing and improving. Looking forward to 2018 the board will meet and create new goals for the coming year. Many thanks to our volunteers and to the community for supporting us.   “A Gift for You!”  Look for Boquete Health in 2018 at the BCP Tuesday Market.

? Best auto-correct typo of the day. Especially since I had a brush with an Easily Insulted Bag recently. ?
