The Aftermath

The storm is over for many.  I never lost power and trees did not fall much around me.  For many though, the storm left disaster in its wake. A hospital worker returned to work today after the first floor of her home was flooded.  She had been awake many ours and her hands were swollen were red.  Still, she came to work despite her losses.

Our church, St. Ann & the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, has started collecting items to be distributed to the people affected by Sandy. The prescription assistance program is ready to help people in need of free medication.

I am grateful for the minimal effect the storm had on me and my friends and neighbors. This storm is a good exapmle why there needs to be space for print materials in the medical libraries.  When there is no computer access, health care professionals need to know how to do it the old fashioned way and make it work.

God’s grace and peace to all of you and to those who especially need to be in our thoughts and prayers.
