Dear Case Managers Colleagues-
As we struggle to make sense of the horrific attacks that occurred on Tuesday, it is hard to know what to do with our shock, grief, and anger. Case managers are inherently resourceful, compassionate, and creative.

For those inclined to make donations, here is a list from Michael Demoratz, CMSA Southern California, of organizations who are responding to the disasters. Please make sure that any place you are donating to is credible. Check the phone number or web sites for each.

There is also a link to Medscape for coverage of the medical response. MEDSCAPE's MedPulse(R)

My thoughts and prayers are with those of you who may have suffered the loss of family and friends in NYC, DC or Flight 93.
Joan
