At this time, they are recommending that those who wish to help can donate to one of the following aid organizations: The American Red Cross Global Giving Save the Children (Source: Inside Surgery) Inside Surgery blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4575009 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 17:56:23 +0100 4575009 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4389182&cid=t_318284_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fbaby-boomers-2011-a-new-frontier-with-few-guideposts%2F2011.01.23 This is a guest post by Dr. John Schumann. ********** In 2011, the first wave of baby boomers will turn 65 years old. Sixty-five still has currency because that’s the age at which non-disabled Americans are eligible to be covered under the Medicare program (now itself having reached middle age). As our economy continues to recover (hopefully) from the Great Recession, the entrance of millions of Americans to the Medicare rolls over the next decade and a half will be a formidable planning challenge. Look at this chart to see how the baby boomers population has surged: So is the promise of healthcare reform (the “PPACA“), which will enlarge Medicaid by an additional 16 million Americans — about half of the projected growth in coverage for those currently uninsured....

I’d do just about anything. It’s true – in fact it’s my greatest weakness. I struggle to set boundaries. I put myself last. And quite frankly, I enjoy ignoring my own untended messes in order to help others clean theirs, leaving my own life in occasional (okay, steady) disarray. But guess what? Loving to help is also my greatest strength (and yours too). You have an unlimited capacity to give. Though, many people don’t recognize this capacity. They fear that they don’t have enough to give. That they’re not important enough to change anyone’s life. They are wrong. Random Acts Of Kindness If you don’t practice, and understand, the simple power of a random act of kindness, then you are setting limits on your life. T...

I was asked to record a public service spot having to do with charitable work and giving during this “special time of year.” Of course, I slipped in mention of multiple sclerosis causes during the commercial! Whether or not we are aware of it, we are the object of millions of dollars of annual giving by those who want to see our disease filed in the annals of medical history — just like we do. Many of us give to those MS causes as well; we give what we can, when we can. Of course, it’s not just money that we think of giving around the holidays: There’s also time, toys for the needy, cards for a soldier or sailor serving… the list goes on. I’m wondering today, as I reflect on my call ...

If you are looking for ways to restore balance, peace and order to your days, while helping your loved ones live a better life, the solution is simple. Being a caregiver for seniors is a labor of love that can help build fulfilling relationships and make a difference in how you feel about yourself. Being a caregiver is a job that comes with responsibilities and problem solving, followed by the singular joy that comes with making a difference. When you care for a senior citizen you are likely to find many moments of inspiration, and interaction. Do it well and you’ll be having so much fun it will bar...

Honestly, I am more compassionate, more patient, and more considerate of people’s feelings. I know that is a lot of credit to give to a horrible disease, but if I hadn’t been diagnosed I really doubt if I would have had such a deep connection and concern for others. Working for 12 years in Christian ministry, I was truly sincere about reaching out to other people suffering and struggling in their lives. But now I just have a much deeper perspective and understanding of what they are going through and what their needs are. I can’t say if it is just a new maturity in my life or if it is all due to battling breast cancer, but I know in great part it is because of many of the people that inspired me while ...

The added benefits? It could even improve your job performance. A University of Florida study showed that workers who have permission to do public service work harder, speak well about their employer in public, take less time off work, and are happier. Sounds like a win-win-win situation. If your employer let you take off some of your work day to volunteer, what kind of nonprofit would you like to help out? via Planet Green Post from: BlissTree Volunteering and Productivity: Where Would You Donate Your Time?
