 Dear ,
This newsletter comes to you just 2 days after the 10th anniversary of 9/11, among the news of seemingly endless floods, earthquakes and other disasters around the world, and in the middle of National Preparedness Month. We can't help but think of the importance of being prepared and of providing preparedness services and products to seniors and family caregivers.
While most people think of preparing food, water, medical and safety supply kits such as those provided by Lifelines Network member Jim Serre, it is also very important to have legal, medical, financial and important personal records and information in order and accessible. You can confidently offer the service of preparedness to clients by becoming a Certified LifeDocuments(TM) Organizer. This 5-session comprehensive webinar series provides you with a turnkey service to add to your business offerings, expanding your scope of services and sources of revenue, and helping others with a critically important task. Learn more > 
Be safe, Sheryl Hunter, CEO Beth Zaski, COO sheryl@lifelinesacademy.com beth@lifelinesacademy.com

MedFolio Medication Management System
Medication management is a critical issue for seniors and of great concern for caregivers. Forgetting to take medications, taking the wrong medications or administering incorrect dosages are common problems that can have dire implications. In over 4,000 CVS Pharmacy "Pack Your Bag™" consultations since the program's inception in 2008, CVS pharmacists have found: 7% of seniors were taking expired medications; 15% were not taking medications as prescribed; and 10% were at risk for potential drug interactions. Given that pharmacists are on the front lines of witnessing medication errors, it is no surprise that one dedicated pharmacist set out to help people take control of their medications by designing the MedFolio Medication Management System, an innovative pill box that meets 21st Century needs and lifestyles.
For a demonstration of the Medfolio or to purchase one for yourself or a client, visit http://www.nurtureconnect.com/our-product.html?cid=4. And remember, Nurture Connect is available to assist purchasers in the set-up and use of a host of products that improve and can even save lives.
