Greetings!

It's not a party without YOU!

Join SelfCare and your colleagues for our traditional Christmas luncheon. Everyone gets a Christmas present from the tree (we have something new for you!) and a hot Christmas lunch to celebrate the Christmas season and to thank all the therapists and health care professionals we have worked with throughout the year. Please RSVP.

Which commode is more expensive - the Noumea or the Omega? Vote today!

We have a Product Update to squeeze in before the year's end, and information on hand products sold by SelfCare. Thanks to Jenny, OT for requesting the updated Lightweight Folding Manual Wheelchair Reference Sheet.

Note on Christmas Closures: SelfCare locations will be closed on Friday, December 24th and Monday December 27th - reopening on Tuesday morning, December 28th. We will also be closed Monday, January 3rd for New Years.

We look forward to providing you with useful information throughout the year. Please contact us at any time if you have any comments, questions or topics you want covered by an inservice by emailing kim.mackie@selfcarehome.com.
Vote - HIGH or LOW?

For anyone who has read Style at Home, they have a column where you guess which décor items are high end and which are lower cost alternatives. Here is the SelfCare Medical Equipment Version...

Which is higher end and which is lower end? Vote by emailing kim.mackie@selfcarehome.com with your response. The answer will be released at the SelfCare Christmas Parties.
