LLOST Participates in the RTS Bereavement Conference

LLOST participated in the RTS Bereavement Conference at Prince William Hospital in Manassas, VA on November 24, 2009 with Tammy Ruiz. Tammy was there for Mary Washington Hospital giving a presentation on creating memories for families after a loss and also on photography techniques to help the nurses capture photo memories. LLOST came prepared with a ton of items to donate to the nurses from local area hospitals that were attending. We donated items to over 10 hospitals and local support centers. The training Tammy provided combined with the take-away items that LLOST donated were a big hit.
