SONS: Save Our Northern Seniors

The Fort St. John Hospital has a new kiosk for monitoring cardiac and stroke patients and making the sharing of data between patient and healthcare provider much easier and simpler.

If you have Parkinson's, here is an opportunity to try a new pill bottle design for $5. "He's currently on version 5 of Alldridge's original design, and has offered to ship 50 of them, free of charge, to anyone who needs one in exchange for a $5 donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's research."

Please share with your contacts.

If you are a low-income senior, age 60+, and you are renting in the private market you may be eligible for a rent supplement through the Shelter Aid for Elderly... Renters (SAFER) program. SAFER was created to help make rents affordable for seniors with low to moderate incomes. The program provides eligible BC seniors, age 60 and older, with monthly cash payments to subsidize rents for their homes. Go to the BC Housing website to find out if you are eligible and how to apply. LEARN MORE: http://bit.ly/2JRjDeK
