Training Dolls

Here at TLC Group Medical we see people of all ages that face challenges with self-catheterization. But we've noticed in pediatrics that there is a need for more training resources to aid them in there education and coping with their challenges. Our main priority is to make life easier for our patients, not only through delivering supplies, but by increasing compliance. This has led us to develop a family of dolls for our pediatric patients. We have dolls that face similar challenges as our patients, including: Self-Catheterization, Ostomy, Tracheotomy and Spina Bifida dolls. Each of our pediatric patients is given a doll through our Adopt-A-Doll program and they are able to personalize it to their liking. The patient can choose the dolls hair color, skin tone and name to be placed on a birth certificate. These dolls serve two purposes, first to increase compliance, and second to serve as a friend!

Spinergy-Spinal Cord Injury Support Group

So this is my first attempt at blogging, and I would really love some feedback on what you guys think and whether you found anything helpful. Since TLC Group Medical focuses mainly on urology and ostomy supplies, my future posts will focus on relevant news, events and happenings.

But for this first post, I would like to talk about a new Spinal Cord Injury Support Group servicing Mecklenburg, Iredell, Gaston, Lincoln and Catawba counties of North Carolina. The group just started recently and is looking to invite anyone effected by Spinal Cord injuries to attend one of their socials. The group currently meets at Presbyterian Hospital in Huntersville, North Carolina. We have become heavily involved in this group and would love for our patients to check out this great group if they can. According to the groups website, their mission is to "Focus on awareness, advocate and educate the community on Spinal Cord Injuries. This group offers different events that may be helpful to anyone in the area effected by Spinal Cord Injuries, such as: mentoring, socials, recreational activities, sports, arts and so much more...

As I said earlier we would love to invite any of our patients, as well as any one in the area effected by Spinal Cord injures out to a social. If you are interested check out the website below and respond before the next meeting. We look forward to seeing you all out there and happy blogging!
