SIERRA SAGE REGIONAL – HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS
The purpose of a Hospitals & Institutions (H&I) meeting is to carry the NA message of recovery to addicts who do not have full access to regular Narcotics Anonymous meetings. H&I meetings/presentations, except for those in longer-term facilities, are intended to simply introduce those attending to some of the basics of the NA program.
An H&I meeting provides the first exposure to recovery, in Narcotics Anonymous for many addicts, so it is imperative that we carry a clear and consistent message of Narcotics Anonymous recovery, and project a positive image of our fellowship.
This also applies to how we handle the facility administration. In order to keep any difficulties to a minimum, take care to maintain consistent contact between the facility and the subcommittee. H&I Chairperson at the regional level exist primarily to lend assistance to area H&I subcommittees. Many times, areas will come to the regional H&I Chairperson with questions about H&I work or situations they are not sure how to deal with. This is where the benefit of the regional Chairperson acting as a pooling place for area H&I subcommittees to share their experiences pays off.
