Next meeting: February 9, 2009

Lifelines: The Brain Injury Support Group
meeting at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas


The February meeting is scheduled for Monday, the 9th, from 6:30 – 8:00 PM (directions below).

Dr. Ray Mailloux, one of our members, will speak about his experience as a caregiver. As a doctor of Family Medicine, Dr. Mailloux can share some insights that the average lay person might not be aware of.

Dr. and Mrs. Mailloux, originally from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, immigrated to Sherman, Texas in 1978. They have been married 43 years and have three daughters. Dr. Mailloux had his own Family Medicine Practice from 1978 - 2001 and has been semi-retired and filling in at various clinic locations since 2001. Sandy has been a patent librarian, hospital lab tech, homemaker/wife/mother, medical office manager and investor (she was referenced in the Washington Post in 1998!).

Thank you to the Mailloux's for sharing their lives and story with us!!!

Please send a reply email to Kimberly Aikman (aikmank@gmail.com) or call 214 289 0286 so we know to expect you.

Directions to Presbyterian Hospital:
Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas is located on Walnut Hill Lane, just east of U.S. 75 (Central Expressway). The meetings are in the

Fogelson Building, Ground Floor, Classroom A
Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas
8200 Walnut Hill Lane
Dallas, TX 75231

When turning into the campus from eastbound Walnut Hill, the best route to take may be the driveway prior to the light for the main entrance. The driveway curves away from the main entrance (direction towards North Central Expressway) and the entry to the parking lot is on the left (gated entry). The Fogelson Building has a small dome on top and is next to the Margot Perot Center.

Using the underground parking is the easiest way to reach the meeting location; if entering from the main floor, cross the foyer (past the stairs) and take the elevators to the ground floor. Classroom A is to the left off the elevators.

Remember that parking is now free! Be sure to get your validation sticker at the start of the meeting.
