Puget Sound Monthly Marketing Update - April 2021
The newest Puget Sound edition of Retirement Connection arrived from the printer today. Our team is working very hard over the next 3 weeks to deliver guides to every hospital, clinic, library, senior center, Veteran office, and more than 300 additional locations. Click here to order additional copies for the referral sources and families you serve. You may want to print a label “compliments of...” for the cover of the guides you share.
Last year was an interesting adventure as we all navigated how to provide our services and remain vital during the pandemic.
We shifted our marketing budgets, made choices, and learned to work differently. Thank you so very much to every sponsor of Retirement Connection. We would not be able to provide a comprehensive resource to the community; or post events, news, and articles online; or report real-time availability without your support. Our work is made possible because of our sponsors/ advertisers. Please return the favor, by referring to their services whenever possible.
One more thing- we have been holding monthly Transitions in Care zoom calls and shared case management feedback. We are not going to meet this month of April, while we decide on a better time of day to allow more hospital staff to join the call. In the meantime, we would like to encourage housing communities to use this form when a resident is sent to the hospital. It would greatly improve communication upon admit to discharge.
Network Meetings
Please continue to check our website for meeting and event updates! We are updating our website multiple times a day trying to help notify our contacts of cancellations and rescheduled meetings.

Additional Resources
There are so many resources included in Retirement Connection, that often a few may slip past you and may not be noticed. Did you know that the guide also includes:
"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein
When I read this quote, I think about “Mushrooms”. You know where mushrooms grow, right? Sometimes we need to grow through a layer of CRAP before we really get to see the light of day. I am optimistic that everyday can be better if I chose to focus on the sunshine of helpers and opportunity to grow, not just the crap that surrounds us. I just need to look a little harder sometimes.
