PWHO hosted our very first Family & Friends Lunch and Learn on October 9th, 2009. Parents were invited to spend the day with us, network with other parents, and share stories and experiences. We were very fortunate to have as our guest speaker Barb Dorn, a registered nurse and parent of a young gentleman diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome. Her medical background and personal experience added to her wealth of knowledge as she presented on the topic of “Health Maintenance and Emergency Care for Adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome.” In the afternoon, PWHO’s own Admissions & Consultative Services Director, Jackie Mallow, presented on “Behavior Strategies - Improving Communications”. Those in attention stated that they learned a lot throughout the day but most importantly it was a time for them to laugh, a time to cry, and a time to make for them to make new connections with others.
