I don't have time to take something on to start a group. Their is already a group here, but I am going to make some suggestions. I have a few doc friends in this field and I will talk to them and tell them what we as pt's want to have at the meeting and what we should be given an told.

Not really tell them what to do or how to do it, rather suggest it to them in a manner so they think it was their idea and run with it.

The group here meets every other month (about), and is sponsored by DME's, labs, and Medical professionals.
Meetings are Lecture, Q&A, meet and greet, treats, door prizes.
The group was started by a grumpy old Luddite who still comes (probably to make sure no one talks about "data")

Time to start a new organization. Awake and Aware.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related
