PAIN MEDICATION AND SAFETY AROUND CHILDREN
In May 2025, I called upon a geriatric Nurse Practitioner friend to ask what some important issues that our elders were facing. She suggested talking about medication safety at home. I worked with my local Department of Public Health to get facts and wrote this piece. This went out as a PDF email to the members (850+ of them) of the Astoria Senior Center. You can view the paper here.

Astoria Senior Center Newsletter pilot May 2025
In May, 2025, I created a newsletter for my local senior center in Astoria, Oregon. I did all interviews, sleuthing, and writing. The first was a simple PDF mailed out and later pasted to their website. It has since been updated by each monthly newsletter that comes out. The original pilot document may be viewed here.

Astoria Senior Center Newsletter June 2025
Since the pilot newsletter, there has been a wonderful and most welcome addition of a former magazine editor who formatted and made my little newsletter more like a newsletter and less like a PDF! This time it will be sent as an email, printed and mailed, and placed on the website. You can view the beautiful emailed version of the newsletter here.
