At GeroCare, our mission to prioritize elderly care brought us to the lively city of Lagos, where we recently held a presentation at TREM. This event was a mix of heartfelt conversations, enthusiastic engagements, and a touch of humor, all aimed at highlighting the importance of caring for our elderly loved ones.
In a city that never sleeps, convincing people to slow down and think about their elderly parents’ health is a bit like trying to persuade a Lagosian to avoid traffic—almost impossible! But we managed to break through, showcasing how GeroCare’s services—doctor home visits, teleconsultations, and more—are vital for ensuring their elderly loved ones remain healthy and happy. We shared compelling stories, like the time Mrs. Okeke’s mother, who hadn’t seen a doctor in years, finally received the medical attention she needed, transforming her from a quiet, withdrawn figure into a lively, joyful presence at family gatherings.
Lagos, with its bustling streets, eclectic mix of cultures, and fast-paced lifestyle, can sometimes make it challenging to focus on the needs of our elderly. But the members of TREM were incredibly receptive. They embraced the idea of creating a healthier community, with GeroCare leading the charge. The warm reception we received was a testament to the strong sense of community and the deep respect for elders that characterizes Lagos.
Connecting with the church leaders was one of the highlights of our presentation. Their support and willingness to collaborate were incredibly encouraging, giving us the boost we needed to keep pushing forward. It’s like having a team of superheroes backing us up, ready to save the day for the elderly.
We also showcased our past activities and milestones, from being recognized as one of the Top 100 Meaningful Businesses to winning the award for outstanding Digital Health Innovation. It was like giving a humblebrag on steroids, but the crowd loved it. They saw the real impact we’re making and how committed we are to this cause.
And let’s not forget the data! Our presentation allowed us to expand our database, adding more members to the GeroCare family. Each new connection helps us refine our services and better meet the needs of our clients. It’s like growing a garden; every new plant makes the whole garden more beautiful and vibrant.
Now, here’s the kicker: We need more churches to join us in this mission. If you’re part of a church community in Lagos, imagine partnering with GeroCare not only to benefit your elderly members but also to help your congregants honor their parents, as commanded in the Bible.
Ephesians 6:2-3 says, “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—”so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” By teaming up with GeroCare, you’re giving your members a practical way to fulfill this commandment, ensuring their elderly loved ones are well cared for.
In conclusion, our presentation at TREM Lagos was a huge success. We achieved all our objectives and more, spreading the word about GeroCare’s mission and making valuable connections. We’re passionate about making a difference in the lives of the elderly, and we want more churches and organizations to join us. Together, we can create a healthier, more compassionate society where the elderly are cherished and well-cared for.
