EPCALM-serviced patients and their families gathered anew at the EPCALM House on 24 Feb. 2024 for fellowship, spiritual nourishment and medical updates during the Family Huddle. The activity, which was also live-streamed via Zoom for participants outside Metro Manila, is aimed at providing a venue for patients and their families to meet regularly for mutual support as they go through their leukemia journey.
On hand to welcome the patients and their loved ones were the registered Social Workers and staff, as well as Engr. Justice Demerre and Dr. Erlyn Demerre, EPCALM President/ CEO and Founder/ Board Chair, respectively, with Executive Director Mitch Duran steering the Huddle program.
Highlights of the Family Huddle include the following: Medical Consult with Dr. Catherine Rosales, Medical Service Director; Spiritual Reflection led by Fr. Percival Tayem, OFM; Gospel Magic Show performed by volunteer, Cornel Bongco; praise and worship singing; birthday greetings; parlor games; and the distribution of ‘Hope Packs,’ and a fellowship lunch, among others.
Special acknowledgments to the following donors and supporters: Corbridge Philippines, The Daily Skin Care Inc., Zenith Medical Equipment, Inc., Connie Ancheta, June Concepcion, Dans Family, Pastor Fernando Agustin, Istana Ventures Inc., Emma Magsino, and Jaime and Annie So. The next Family Huddle is scheduled in April 2024. (By Ralph Vale Joshua I. Solidum)
