Meeting Information
Meeting Friday, June 26, 2009, 1:00 pm:
- This month, we are pleased to have Mr. Joseph A. Voss L. Ac. as our
featured speaker. Mr. Voss is an acupuncturist, who graduated magna cum
laude from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and completed post-graduate
studies in Beijing, China. He will describe and demonstrate the art of
acupuncture; and discuss the benefits of its use in the treatment of
various physical conditions, including stress, neck and back injuries,
allergies, infertility, addiction, sleep disorders, weight loss, and
arthritis. We know Mr. Voss’ presentation will be not only interesting
and informative; but, it may also give you a different perspective on the
use of acupuncture for your own physical conditions.

Meeting Friday, July 24, 2009, 1:00 pm:
- In any operation, it is necessary to monitor and periodically evaluate
the effectiveness of established procedures and practices. Such is the case
regarding the care, education, and treatment of new ostomates prior to,
during, and after surgery. To this end, Brian Bowden, Past President and
current Board Member of our support group, conducted a survey to evaluate
the effectiveness of area medical professionals and hospitals in meeting
the needs of new ostomates. Brian will present and discuss the results of
this survey at this month’s meeting. We invite you to come hear these
results and to participate in the discussion about them.

California. Dr. Linson serves as Department Chair, Oncology Services in
Tri-City Medical Center, and as Consultant to Palomar Medical Center and
