We had received an urgent call regarding a 96-year-old member who was having difficulty breathing due to a bout of pneumonia . The head nurse had contacted Alcor a few weeks earlier to say that it may be time to consider hospice care for this elderly member , but his family was not ready for such a drastic change . Based on the initial level of concern expressed by the head nurse , the Alcor deployment committee immediately dispatched our emergency responders .

    We were contacted a third time regarding a Washington-based member. He had been hospitalized for shortness of breath and was ultimately treated for blood clots in his lungs and leg. Two members, one in Arizona and the other in Minnesota, also proactively contacted Alcor regarding their upcoming surgeries, both with relatively low levels of risk. We have updated our phone system and directory so that members will be able to easily notify Alcor regarding non-emergency surgeries, medical procedures and illnesses.
