Re: SSF Case Management Meetings...

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Ramona -

I think I remember signing a paper saying that I agreed to show up for

all my appointments, that case management meetings were important,

etc., but it didn't say WHEN the case management meetings were or

WHERE. . . and I'm certain that Gity didn't say anything during her

part of the orientation. Neither did Dr. Stiles when I had my

appointment with her a month ago, although if she assumed they'd been

mentioned at orientation she might not have felt she needed to. I

remember being surprised when she told me that my next appt. would be

in June!

Oh, well - I'll call this week to ask about it. Thanks for the info!
