Celebrating World Prematurity Day 2022

November 17 is World Prematurity Day, and we at Communities of Care are committed to helping kids thrive, whenever they’re born,

World Prematurity Day was instated in 2011, but organizations like the March of Dimes have been researching maternal and infant since 2008. The day is recognized all over the world, including in the US. Europe, Africa, and Australia.

Many of our pediatric clients are premature babies, and it’s been a joy to watch them grow and thrive! We want to partner with our clients, their families, and other members of their care team to make a measurable difference in their lives every day.

You can learn more about us, check out our open positions, or email us with any other inquiries.

I’m Joan, and I know home care from the inside out. I’ve navigated my daughter through 24/7 home care nursing and managed her PCA’s. I’ve helped my parents move into (and out of) assisted living, Medicare episodes, skilled nurse visits, home health aids, and PCAs. Sandwiched in all of that, I’ve helped coordinate home care equipment and supplies, physical therapists, occupational therapists, county workers, and medications (oh, the medications). I know emergency departments, children’s hospitals, cancer wards, cardiac floors, and specialty units. I can recite health insurance policies (and call their bluff). I know a lot of other things in life too, like Shakespeare, where to sit to see a great sunset over a lake, how to keep myself healthy, how to read a profit/loss statement and state statutes, when to use a comma, and that gratitude is one of the keys to success. So I’m going to have this blog and write about home care from time to time. I’ll include topics like current legislation, professional boundaries in a tricky environment, and being a caregiver. I’ll also post some guest blogs from clients and nurses. Join me in the conversation.
