National Case Management Week is coming up October 9th - 14th! To celebrate Case Management Week, Retirement Connection is working with numerous hospitals in Oregon and Washington to organize care packages/goody bags for case management staff. We will
be providing goody bags to over 1,000 case managers at 50 hospitals from Everett, WA to Medford, OR. In addition, we have also coordinated boxed lunches for Case Managers at 35 hospitals to kick off the week. Links to sign up and more details are available on our website.
Our team is looking forward to the Walk to End Alzheimer's on October 15th at the Oregon Zoo! Make sure to register your team and join us for a fun day. Walk registrants will
receive free admission to the zoo for the entire day after the walk!
We include a robust list of events and networking opportunities on RetirementConnection.com, including landing pages for recurring network meetings such as East County Marketing Exchange, SPIN Portland, and Westside Referral Network. To receive a complimentary page in the networking section, a meeting must represent the following to be included in our newlsetter:
Be specific to the senior industry
Be open to anyone from the senior industry to attend, and not a close network
The goal of this meeting is to improve communication between case management and community providers. This ZOOM call provides thirty minutes of engagement with hospital case management staff, followed by 15 minutes of provider discussion if needed. This month we will cover Case Management Week details.

"Some talk to you in their free time, and some free time to talk to you.” — Unknown
I’m busy, you’re busy, we are all busy! I hear about
“time management” strategies all the time, but we all have 24 hours in the day- no more no less. So, we really are not managing “time”. But we can manage our priorities. We can make people our priority. I want to be the person who makes time for others, and I want to surround myself with those that make time for me.
