HPS Network Puerto Rico generates press coverage



The HPS Network Puerto Rico was covered by a number of media outlets in the weeks leading up to the HPS Puerto Rico Conference on Caguas. Not only did the coverage help promote the conference, but representatives of the Network were able to use the coverage to educate the general public about HPS.







The media coverage was kicked off by an appearance by Ivette Vazquez and Yeidyly Vergne on Radio Hits 1250 am. The show is co-hosted by Yary Rivera, a member of the HPS Network.


Univision Puerto Rico News covered HPS and the conference in a two-day report. Dr. Enid Rivera (Hematologist), Ricardo Rangel (President of HPS Network PR, Inc.), Ricardo Rangel Jr., Germán Acevedo, Yary Rivera, Milca Lopez, Daniel Jimenez, Learsy Martínez and Yeidyly Vergne appeared in the report to talk about HPS and the conference.






Finally, HPS and the conference were featured on two different local TV programs on Puerto Rico channel 13 (“Tele-Oro”), “En Cuerpo y Alma” hosted by Dr. Natalio Isquerdo (Ophthalmologist) and “Ellas y sus noches”.

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon! Ratner's Cheesecake and plain cookies Ratner's was a Jewish dairy restaurant in the lower East Side of Manhattan. This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid. It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients with hands. Refrigerate 3 -4 hours, or preferably overnight. Filling (for...

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

The blog is back, I hope

  What started as a way to share news about HPS and what it is like to live with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome has fallen apart badly! There are a lot of reasons for this. Some are related to health. Some are related to time. And some are related to mental health. Finally, the last obstacle was technical. I lost access to my blog. Every time I started to work on regaining access, something interrupted the process and I’d have to start all over again. Before you say it, I know. A blog is so old school. Haven’t you heard of a vlog Heather? Or maybe TikTok? I know my limits. I have a great face for radio. I’m not particularly eager to film myself. When I do, I feel I need to spend extra time putting on makeup or fixing my hair. Yet, often when I have the time to do something like this, it is early in the morning or late at night. I don’t want to “get ready.” I’m having a hard enough time squeezing this in without staging myself. Grin. I’m trying to start with small goals. Right now, I...
