Enhancing Oley Efforts
The
following suggestions may help you brainstorm ways to support the
Oley
mission to enrich the lives of those dependent upon home nutrition support.
Please consider implementing one or more of these ideas.
Enhancing Oley’s Outreach Efforts:
1. Introduce the Oley Foundation to all of your patients/customers.
2. Host an Oley membership campaign within your institution. We can provide sample newsletters with membership forms for you to distribute. Consider offering an incentive.
3. Introduce the Oley Foundation resources to physicians, discharge planners, and case managers, emphasizing that Oley efforts include tools that educate patients and reduce complications/costs.
4. Introduce the Oley Foundation to folks with whom you are connected, i.e. companies you purchase from, and other organizations that you believe would benefit from an affiliation with Oley.
5. Have an Oley member speak at an in-service to describe how becoming affiliated with Oley has impacted his or her life.
6. Contact “your” Regional Coordinator to introduce yourself and your organization. (Regional Coordinators and their contacting information.) Provide a speaker or refreshments when/if they host support group meetings. Note: Our volunteers are encouraged to restrict attendance at these meeting to consumers/family members, but a 20-minute presentation by someone with expertise in the field is encouraged and will enhance the effort. The remainder of the gathering will be restricted for consumer networking purposes.
7. Notify the Oley Foundation of conferences or meetings where its presence as an exhibitor seems appropriate.
8. Include Oley information in teaching materials and on labeling whenever possible.
