During the week of March 23rd, we will present our CdLS powerpoint to the RN and LPN nursing classes. The goal of these presentations will be to educate the future health care professionals at WCC about this rare syndrome and its manifestations. We hope they will gain a sufficient knowledge base to recognize an individual with CdLS, to provide sensitive and nonjudgmental care to the affected individuals and support to the families. We have numerous informational packets which we will distribute to the students and professors so that they may share their awareness with fellow health care workers.
In addition, we will organize a table at the WCC Health Fair in April. The health fair is located in the main student cafeteria and is a highly visible campus event. Our table will be laden with a large banner, powerpoint slide show and many pamphlets and written material. We hope to spread awareness about CdLS to the campus community during this event.
We are considering presenting our powerpoint in a hospital setting such as Westchester Medical Center or Hudson Valley Hospital. It was suggested by a nursing professor and we are reviewing our schedule of events.
