For questions or clarification regarding anything related to the information contained on this website, please contact the Webmistress
Area Contacts as Reps:
Here in Canada our healthcare system is very fragmented. A med that may be covered in one province by Pharmacare, may not be in another. Additionally, some provinces have a number of Rehab facilities as well as Support Groups; others have only one or two.You may have questions about who to talk to about finding out if you qualify for disability, home oxygen, or even obtaining a handicap sticker.
In the USA, perhaps it's a question as above, or about Medicare.....
Or perhaps you have a question about who to speak with in the organization...
It's issues like the above that our "Contact" members will make every effort to help you with. Even if they don't have the answers, they're willing to help you find the information.
NOTE: We cannot and do not dispense medical advice. If that is what you're seeking, please talk to your Doctor. If you have a "General Question" for an RRT (not an immediate or emergency need), please see the "Ask the RRT" page on this site.
