DeLand Senior Council and was redirected from our regular meeting room in City Hall to another one down the hall. At the meeting we were introduced to two representatives of LOSpro, a new health resource company. After a 30-minute video presentation (the 'other room' rationale) and some Q and A, I came away convinced that the web site that these people have set up is an extremely valuable tool for DeLand seniors. It can be reached at www.lospro.com (I have no idea why they call it LOSpro-they tried to explain it to us, but they obviously didn't realize they were dealing with a real slow fellow). When you reach the site, be prepared to be stunned. It is absolutely loaded with information. Their brochure says the following: ' LOSpro is a resource management company that gathers, consolidates and presents local medical resources in a user friendly format. A LOSpro portal is a place where patients, families and medical professionals can go to find accurate and relevant medical and social service information.' Moreover, when you click 'DeLand' once you're on the site you are treated with information that focuses on you. You can find and tour nursing facilities, see the state ratings of facilities (for the federal ratings you have to go where we told you last month: www.medicare.gov) hospice providers, locate home health providers, order medical equipment, hire a geriatric care manager, find social service programs, print government forms, research medical conditions. Learn about your medications, research medical conditions, and as the brochure says, truthfully, much, much more.

Again, www.lospro.com . Check it out.
