Where do you anticipate Friends’ Health Connection to be 20 years from now?
I have a lot of things I’d like to do in life. Personally, I’d like to see Friends' Health Connection continue to flourish and touch lives, being known as the premiere place where people with illness get connected for support, a main resource to which patients and caregivers turn. We also would like to continue be known as a source for outstanding health and wellness speakers.
I think we’re so involved with politics, but what it comes down to is people helping people. The beauty is how we care for one another, even in our small communities. Each person’s own interactions and good deeds are what keep the world going round.
Roxanne, what do you want us to know best about you?
I put my heart and soul into everything I do. It hasn’t been easy. There are always things you cannot plan for. I’ve done my best with what I have and I am grateful to everyone who’s helped me.
You can survive. Each of us has the power within us to make a difference. Don’t give up. There were times I was sick and thought “This is how it’s going to be for the rest of my life.” I’d like to give hope that you can get through things. Recognize all that you do have right now. Look at what you can do and work around your limitations. Cherish the blessings, the wisdom you’ve learned, and the insights you’ve gained along the way.
