Meet the Board In February Boquete Health and Hospice Foundation elected a new board. David Wulf- President, Merl Will-Wallace-Vice-President, Linda Sanchez-Secretary and Laurie Collier-Treasurer. Bev Tyler is the administrator of BHHF. The board held a retreat in March to formulate the goals of the organization for 2017. The goals include plans to create more community awareness of the services provided by BHHF, expand the volunteer base, reach out with services to more people in the Panamanian and expat community and to have a health fair later in the year. 2017 Volunteer Training On February 17, 20 and 22, thirteen members of the community made the choice of taking the Boquete Health and Hospice Foundation training. The training consists of an overview of all the requirements, information and skills needed to help our community with health issues. Some of the topics include: Explanation of services, discussion of grief and death and dying Presentations about comfort care, medications used in Panama Communication skills that include how a team is put together for a case, caring for the caregiver and final directives. For almost a decade BHHF has been helping the community by providing support for patients and caregivers when there is a serious illness, an injury, after surgery, or if the patient is dying. We also provide a blood donor list and loan durable goods such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, walkers and other medical equipment.

It looks as if the Rainy Season might be creeping up on us this year. For those of you with green thumbs this is a great time to get your "Inverno" garden in shape. As a food business we try to use as many locally grown vegetables that we can and one of the most reliable sources that we have found is our very own back yard. Tomatoes, Asparagus, Potatoes, beets, radish, you name it. It all grows amazing here in Boquete. So get your seeds out and toss em in a hole. There's a good chance that they will grow.. If you want a gardening tip that will produce results that will literally blow your mind, COMPOST. This organic waste of Carbon and Nitrogen resulting from the decay of leaves, wood chips, straw, cardboard, grass clippings, organic (no meat) food waste will give all of your flowers and vegetables a boost that makes all synthetic fertilizer look like child's play. It's so easy to get a compost going and if done right you can have rich composted soil in just about 30 days.. Another amazing benefit of composting is that you get to make compost tea!!! This brew consisting of your compost dirt, molasses, a few other bits, and water will deliver the full growing potential of your garden. Kale leaves that will blow your mind, Tomatoes that are disease resistant, and so much more. You see most people fight plant diseases once they see that their plant is infected but if you give your plants everything that they need to be strong and healthy they will develop a resistance to typical plant diseases... We hope that you are taking advantage of Boquete's micro climate and having fun growing your very own food. By the way. I almost forgot. I will have some 1 year crowns available for Jersey Giant Asparagus. This literally means that here in Boquete with the "Eternal Growing Season" you will be harvesting Asparagus in 12 months +/-. My 1 years crowns are already giving me shoots that are fit for a Kings Meal!! So if you have ever wanted to grow asparagus and never liked the 2-3 year waiting period. These Crowns will speed things up a bit for you. Remember that once asparagus are mature they will produce for you for the next 15-20 years.. WOW.. I'm not sure how many crown I will have but if you are interested send me a message. They will probably be $2 each. OOPS 1 more thing. If anyone is interested in growing elephant Garlic (Pictured above) as well, as soon as my babies get bigger I will seed them and have them available. Just let me know if you would like this awesome sweeter variety of garlic (Sort of) to grow. Makes for great black garlic!! If you are new to Boquete we would love to welcome you.
