Chc.org Letter of Introduction To whom it may concern I am Elizabeth D.

Neil, a recent graduate of the New England School of Acupuncture in Newton, MA. I am currently residing in Bethesda, Maryland where I am completing a six month internship at the National Naval Medical Center. This elite internship has allowed me to explore the collaborative care of the hospital setting. As part of my internship I treat the men and women who serve our country, as well as participate in the rotations in various departments in the hospital. It is from this experience, as well as previous exploration of chiropractics inclusion into a hospitalbased setting that I have developed a passion for this type of integrative care. I believe the benefits from chiropractics conservative care could be an innovative addition to your clinic. Multiple studies support this concept and have proven the benefits in multiple facets of patient care and clinic efficacy. For example data from hospitals where complementary and alternative medical practices are already implemented show improvements to both costbenefit and patient satisfaction. Also, recent data proves the market availability for outpatient medical practitioners is in great demand. Addressing this demand, as well as the other major issues that plague the healthcare system has been at the forefront for our Nations policymakers. As the Health Care Reform becomes implemented, hospitals and clinics around the country will have new standards to meet and concerns to be addressed. Money is being allocated to new preventative programs and the hospitals prepared to make such additions will be strides ahead of the others who ignore these facts. I appreciate your time and consideration. If you would like to entertain any more discussion of the addition of any complementary and alternative medical approaches, I would be delighted to talk. My email is sarah.potthoff@my.cleveland.edu or my phone number is 7127901657. I also would be willing to send you my CV and Resume if you would like to find out more too. I have been trained in many techniques such as Kinesotaping, Graston, Motion Palpation, Functional and Kinetic Rehabilitation with Provocation, SacralOccipital, Nutrition and Wellness Lifestyle coaching. My vigorous participation with my school and profession has provided me with the experiences and goals of helping health care to the next level. I know chiropractic is a small role in that scheme, but I also realize it will take a team effort for such a task. I would be honored to work with you with such goals in mind and be a part of your team. Thanks again!

Truffle Hot Chocolate Balls with Picture

Truffle Hot Chocolate Balls

from melskitchencafe.com *Makes about 9-10 hot chocolate balls 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups) 1 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon sugar (optional - I liked the richness of the chocolate without but in another batch, my kids and husband liked the extra sweetness) 1/8 teaspoon salt In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Microwave for one minute intervals, stirring often, until the mixture is combined and very smooth and silky. When you first start stirring, after the first minute or so, you'll wonder if this mixture will ever come together. It will look grainy and messy but after it heats thoroughly and is whisked to combine, it will magically become beautifully smooth. Be careful not to overheat as the chocolate can seize. The trick is to stir often since the mixture will blend together even when it looks like the chocolate chips haven't melted completely. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until the ganache mixture is firm and scoopable, about 2-3 hours. Scoop out about 1/4-cup spoonfuls of the mixture and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. My cookie scoop is about 1 1/2 tablespoons. I mounded two of the heaping cookie scoops full of ganache on top of each other to form one ball. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the mounds harden slightly, about 15-20 minutes. Roll the chilled mounds into balls and place on squares of plastic wrap (about 4 inches by 4 inches). Pull the sides of the plastic wrap over to cover the ball and place the balls in the freezer until ready to use.

To make the hot chocolate: pour 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups (depending on how rich you like your cocoa) milk into a microwave-safe mug. Carefully drop one unwrapped truffle hot chocolate ball in the milk. Microwave for about 2 minutes. Stir well until the chocolate is combined with the milk. Serve warm!
