Papal Visit Playbook Available Online Now
By Kim Glovas
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The Papal Visit Playbook has been released online, but if you are looking for new information, it's pretty thin.
The Playbook is available at the World Meeting of Families website, and the site says if you provide an email you will receive updates as they become available. Which means, so far, there are very few updates.
The only new information is regarding healthcare. The playbook says provisions are being made to help visitors get to health care providers, which may not require emergency room treatment. It also says a number of doctors have agreed to see patients on a non-appointment basis, and many pharmacies will have specially trained nurses on site to treat minor illnesses.
The site also says dentists, optometrists, pharmacies and even dialysis centers will be standing ready during the week.
The playbook says more information will be available at a special Health Information and Referral hotline, which isn't on the website yet.
