Week 2 of my internship with the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation

It is so hot in NYC today; thank goodness the office is nice and cool.  Also thank goodness my apartment is cool too. That’s a real blessing for a lot of student apartments as fairly priced as mine. This week I continue to work on the article about Healthy People 2020. It has a lot of different objectives. Once the article is completely revised I will post it on here for everyone to read. I have also been working on research for a website called caringbridge.org. This website enables members to interact and share their journey dealing with any health related disorder to everyone in their family all at once. I think this would be a beneficial partnership for the foundation, because it makes the lives of patients and families just a little bit simpler. The website would also say they are partnered with us and put us on their website. This would also help to get more exposure. I have also been working on the new facebook fan page. The groups on facebook are all being archived soon, so this was the perfect opportunity to update the group page and make it a little easier for fans of the foundation to join and communicate. Now all you have to do is “like” the page on facebook and it connects you to many new options, while still functioning the same as the old group did. Also I had to use the office phone today, not really sure how to completely use it but I will learn.  Another short blog post not too much new info going on, just trying to stay cool during my summer in the city.

  1. I am excited to continue to read your blog. It is great to see you doing good things for a good organization. You are so energetic and idealistic. That will help you do what you have set out to do and hopefully benefit Cooley's while you reach your goals. Keep blogging!
