On Sept 10, we are having our patients, in addition to the general balloon release at noon, writing something they want to let go of, and then releasing the balloon as a "letting go" gesture. We have generated a lot of excitement doing this. We also have coincided a "Patient Appreciation Day", where we serve the patients some good food, and say thank you for their business. |
