Become a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children In 2007 there were 299 children in Morris and Sussex counties who were removed from their homes because of abuse and/or neglect. These children have no voice. CASA volunteers work with one child at a time, ensuring that each one receives the services needed and moves to a permanent, safe home in as short a time as possible. CASA volunteers don’t require any specific education. All they need is compassion, objectivity and a commitment to children. Volunteers receive training and staff support from CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties, Inc. Your time and efforts can do so much to make a difference in the life of one of these children. Become a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children. Our next training will be in winter 2009.

Funds are also raised through such events as theater outings, Smoke Rise House Tour, “Heartfelt Excellence” fashion show, the Hospital’s Memorial Brick Walk and the “Give and Receive” basket raffle for Chilton employees. Auxiliary meetings provide opportunities for fund-raising, education and socialization. Membership is open to all individuals interested in serving the hospital and the community. For more information about the Auxiliary, or to purchase a light for the tree, please call (973) 831-5345.

Chilton Memorial Hospital Dietician Provides Free Facts
About Fad Diets
Lets face it: women are obsessed with weight loss. Everyone is talking about the latest and greatest diets advertised on commercials, television shows and magazines. But, are any of them worth trying? Chilton Memorial Hospital’s “Inspire for Women!” program offers a free class to provide the facts about fad diets. “Fit or Fiction” will be held on Wednesday, December 3, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Chilton Health Network, 242 West Parkway, Pompton Plains (just 1.5 miles down the street from the Hospital), in the Second Floor Conference Center. Chilton Memorial Hospital Clinical Dietitian Christina Lavner, RD, will offer valuable information about what diets are the best choice, the likelihood of sticking with a fad diet, what happens when you go off the fad diet and what is a good diet overall. She will also speak about proper portion sizes and healthy ways to lose the weight. Fad diets promise quick results and are easy to implement. The one thing they have in common is that they seldom promote sound weight loss. More importantly, the results tend to last for only a short period of time and require extra weight maintenance if used long term. Join us for a discussion about popular fad diets such as Atkins, low salt, South Beach, Flat belly and The Zone, and learn for yourself which ones actually work. For more information, or to register, call Chilton Memorial Hospital Health Educators Lauren Schuitema, CHES at (973) 831-5433 or Jasalyn King, CHES at (973) 831-5479.
