LSMSA Medical Family Support -
Margaret D. Morrow, Committee Chair
Medical families need to be knowledgeable and prepared for managing their lives, homes and/or businesses on a daily basis. This premise has been the special focus of Medical Family Support for LSMSA over the past six and a half years. We encourage parish Alliances to consider presenting Medical Family Support worksheets either on paper or digitally in membership packets and follow up that information with a program, guest speaker or general discussion.
The idea is to keep the information regarding personal, legal, financial and insurance matters current and together in a secure place creating a "quick reference." Today is the best time to gather your family information and prepare for the future.
