Our Grassroots Support Group had a wonderful time at our July meeting!
A special thank you to our guest speaker from the Florida Poison Control Center for providing an informative presentation on preventing medication errors and dangerous drug interactions. The valuable tips and resources shared will help our participants make safer medication decisions and know where to turn for help when questions arise.
Each participant also took home a Hurricane Preparedness Kit filled with helpful disaster preparedness information, evacuation route resources, and fun swag from the Florida Poison Control Center. As hurricane season continues, these materials will help our members stay informed and be better prepared for emergencies.
After the presentation, everyone enjoyed a fun ice cream social, giving members the opportunity to relax, connect with one another, and strengthen friendships.
Thank you to the Florida Poison Control Center for sharing your expertise and to everyone who joined us for another great afternoon of learning, laughter, preparedness, and community. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting!
