Home Assistance Neepawa and District and the Viscount Cultural Council are partnering to provide a free afternoon of information (with local Pharmacist, Kristin Tibbett), a short play by Whitemud Comedy Company, handouts, with a light luncheon to follow.

The event is made possible by the Dr. John Wade Patient Safety Initiative, which provides funding to communities to hold events that will promote patient and medication safety. The grant is administrated by the  Manitoba Institute for Patient Safety, an independent, non-profit organization whose role is to promote patient safety in Manitoba. 

The free event will take place Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at the Viscount Cultural Centre, 293 Mountain Ave in Neepawa, at 2 pm. 

The play, Reunion, celebrates family and promotes patient safety in the home.  In it the youngest daughter of the family returns home to spend time with her mom, and the play will touch on issues such as home care, medication safety, caregiver issues and also explore family relationships. 

We hope you will come out for an afternoon of information, entertainment, and refreshments.
