Waveny LifeCare Network Expands Telemedicine Services Program
Telemedicine employs advanced communication technologies to provide actionable health information and peace of mind for seniors, adult children and residents throughout the community. Thanks to support and facilitation by the Town of New Canaan, Waveny LifeCare Network is pleased to announce that it is expanding its existing Telemedicine Services Program to all New Canaan residents* free of charge.

Waveny's Telemedicine Services program can:
  • Monitor changes and trends in your health conditions;
  • Deliver detailed and continuous medical information to your healthcare provider;
  • Reduce delays in scheduling, traveling to and engaging in healthcare appointments;
  • Improve safety and connectivity to vital healthcare;
  • Manage and increase prevention of chronic conditions;
  • Reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and ER visits;
  • Help with diagnosis, treatment and recovery from long-COVID symptoms.

*This program will be rolled out to residents of surrounding communities in the coming months, please stay tuned for further details.

New Art Exhibit at The Inn Honoring Pediatric Cancer Survivors
In honor of Pediatric Cancer Month, The Inn has welcomed a new art exhibit titled "Life Within the Journey" featuring pediatric cancer survivors in the Wilton based Circle of Care program.

Founded by Wilton residents Liz Salguero and Danw Ladenheim in 2003 after facing daunting pediatric cancer diagnoses and lengthy treatments of their own children, Circle of Care provides practical, emotional, and financial assistance to Connecticut families, through programs and services that meet the unique and challenging needs of pediatric cancer treatment.

The children and their families in this exhibit just happened to be in treatment for cancer at Yale New Haven Hospital when they were approached by photographer Jeanna Shepard to have their portrait taken. Through her lens and their personal stories, an intimate and inspiring view of the everyday life of childhood cancer is revealed. One that illuminates the resilience, strength, and spirit of those who face childhood cancer but refuse to be defined by it. The road is full of uncertainty. But these families show that there is joy, clarity, and purpose.
