Hi All,
I am enclosing information on a new chat that has been started on AOL for
vent users. Barbara, who has started the chats, hopes to have them moved or
added to IRC so that everyone can reach them, instead of just AOL members. I
have attended a couple of the chats just getting started and it was great to
talk to others. Hope to see you there.

My name is Barbara and I am a vent patient. Metropolitan Home Care
Service, Inc. (New York City) and I have developed a patient recovery and
support program for respiratory patients and their families - especially
targeting vent users. We are very excited about this new program.
We now have a private chat room for vent users in the AOL people
connection twice a week -- Tuesdays & Thursdays from 3:00 - 4:00 pm. All
vent users are invited. -- To get there go to people connection -> list chats
-> private room -> PRRP
Many of us have found that the exchange of information and friendship
have made it much easier -- especially when we realize we don't have to do it
alone. We will also be having "guest speakers" from the health care
community and certainly welcome all feed back and suggestions of things you
would like to see.
Please feel free to e-mail me at - MetroHomCr(AT)aol.com. I look forward
to seeing and hearing from all of you. Barbara
