STEP ONE:

The 9Health Fair is asking all volunteers to sign up through their website. This will insure that you are staffed at a location that is offering the Lung Function screening and it also allows the volunteer coordinators to efficiently manage all the volunteers at that site. Sign up only takes a few moments. At the end of the process, you will create an account for convenient access in the future.

• Goto http://www.9healthfair.org/Volunteer/VolunteerSignUp.aspx
• Complete your contact information
• Please answer the following questions as indicated below:
• “Are You a Medical Volunteer?”:  YES
• “Credentials”:  You will choose your credentials here (RT etc)
• “Screenings That I am Qualified and Would Like to Perform”:  You will choose the screening you wish to perform (Lung Function Screening)
• In the next step, please choose the first option for volunteering: “Volunteer at a health fair on the day or days of the event”

Complete the remaining steps, you will receive a confirmation email and will be contacted by a volunteer coordinator as soon as possible to confirm your position

Get your teams together for a little competition mixed with a lot of fun. Teams of 4 will compete throughout the conference to accumulate points. Events will test your speed and accuracy of the assembly and application of basic respiratory equipment. Anyone in the industry should be able to participate. The teams with the highest number of points at the end of the conference will win prizes. Events will be held during the first few minutes of each exhibit session. Register here by April 25, 2012.

Joe Walsh, a close friend and advocate of the CSRC has been battling Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis for 6 years.  As most of you know this disease still has no known cause and no satisfactory treatment to stop its rapid progression.  In most cases a lung transplant is a necessity. 

After the diagnosis Joe has become a strong advocate to promote the awareness of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and has dedicated his life to the further study and research of this devastating disease and to educate patients sharing the same diagnosis.  He has served as the co-chair of the Thomas Petty Moving Mountains Lung Conference and has been in daily contact with other patients that use his outgoing drive to help make their day to day struggles easier to manage.

Joe is now testing to be placed onto the lung transplant list at Cleveland Medical Center.  While his health insurance does cover most of the expenses there are non-covered expenses that he and his family are asking for help with.  If you would like to make a financial donation to help Joe and his family through this incredibly difficult time please mail a check to the following address:
