    Non-participants

    By on February 19, 2013 in AASC Online Forum, Reference Information

    Question:

    It’s getting to be about time to start offering members services again. If a member signed a nonparticipation form in 2012, do we have to ask them if they will sign the form again?

    Answer from Cheryl:

    No.  I think you just ask them if they want services and if they say no just put
    it in the PNs for the limited file the person has.  C

    Mi Healthier Tomorrow

    By on February 15, 2013 in General information, Reference Information
    Hi Everyone,
    By now, you may have already heard about this initiative from the Michigan Department of Community Health via the radio or television, but just in case you haven’t, I thought I would pass it along.  Some of the residents, especially those that are comfortable with and are frequent computer users, may find it to be of interest.  It is called the Mi Healthier Tomorrow initiative.  Participants are asked to take the Mi Healthier Tomorrow “pledge” (online), after which they will receive a free Starter Kit with motivational tips, money-saving offers and other good stuff. And to keep them going they will receive little motivational emails and/or text messages twice a month to keep them focused on what they pledged so they can reach their goals.  They also have the option to share their pledgeswith family & friends so they can motivate each other and keep each other on track.
    Here is a link to the Mi Healthier Tomorrow website:  www.michigan.gov/mihealthiertomorrow and a link to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mihealthiertomorrow so you can learn more about it.   To date, 16,473 Michiganders have taken the pledge (including me!).
    Sincerely,
    Tom Wyllie
    Director of Wellness
    Presbyterian Villages of Michigan
