The Caring Collaborative
Welcome to the Caring Collaborative, a program of friendly and neighborly assistance, offered by members, to preserve and promote healthy independence.The TTN Caring Collaborative was designed, developed and implemented by a volunteer committee of TTN members. It mobilizes the goodwill that exists within TTN’s membership to provide support to members in need. They learn from the healthcare experiences of others – what to expect during breast cancer treatment or how to optimize recovery following knee replacement surgery, etc. The Caring Collaborative provides personal support when the unexpected compromises one’s independence.
The CC program offers support through:
- Assistance with short-term or occasional needs, including help at home or with doctor visits
- A medical information exchange (MIX)- a chance to speak directly and confidentially with members who have relevant medical experiences
- Programs on health topics
- Health and Wellness Directory: Health/Wellness Resource Directory
The current services of the Caring Collaborative are available in several chapters. Please click on your local chapter to see what it offers.
