Help name the newsletter!

We need your suggestions. If your suggestion is chosen, you will win the opportunity to interview the OCC provider of your choice during the next 3rd-Monday-of-the-month support group meeting.

The OCC Needs a New Name!

Over the years we have considered changing our name. But we have never found a new name that seemed right. We’re ready to make a change, but we need your help.  Please give us your suggestions for a new name, whether plain or creative, short or long. You can communicate your suggestion to any other the OCC staff, by phone, in person, or in writing.  We’re looking forward to hearing from you!   -- The OCC Staff

Did You Know?

Ingesting a multi-vitamin and calcium supplements at the same time negate the benefits associated with each?  Take one with breakfast, the other with lunch.  Or better yet, take your multi-vitamin before you go to bed.  Your body at rest has a better chance of absorbing all of the nutrients. 

You can be involved in two ways:

• We want your input. If you wish to participate in any way in publication of the newsletter, click here to download a volunteer participation form which you need to fill out and fax to us.
