 PATIENT SERVICES NEWS

The Chapter is very pleased to announce that it has added another member to the Patient Services Department!

Robin Stanczyk, RN, has joined the Chapter as Patient Services Coordinator effective June 16, 2008.  Robin will be working part-time assisting Chapter families with locating resources and information by phone, email and in-home visits.  Robin also will be present at the Froedtert and VA ALS Clinics and support groups.

Due to the Chapter's significant growth in recent years, expanding the Patient Services Staff was a priority.  Robin's hiring will provide extra support and the opportunity for the Chapter to develop new and much needed programming for Chapter families.

And don't worry about Lori!  Lori Banker-Horner has taken the position of Patient Services Director, where she will continue to work with patients and families, but also will devote time to creating and developing those new programs.

Welcome, Robin!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns or are in need of resources or support, please call the Chapter's Patient Services Line -- (414)  817-1541.
