What do you think this idea for the new healthcare gallery?

Hey everyone,

We're working on improving our gallery, and I want to get some feedback regarding the healthcare section.

We're breaking down each post into smaller, logical ones. I'd like to see what people think about how I'm splitting some of them up.

Here are three different posts I'm thinking about. For each, I've listed the titles and the snippets under each post.

Here are my questions for you:

1. Does the organization make sense? Would you change anything?

2. Do the titles make sense? Would you change them?

Hi, This looks promising!

I would love to see more templates and commands/form elements related to occupational therapy/ disability, and non-medical needs assessments and diagnostic information. I am still trying to work out how to make longer templates! Any advice would be gratefully received!

Hi @Jane_Hylton-Phoenix
(cc: @Andrew_Hall )
We're working hard to add more examples to the gallery. We'll keep you posted as we add them.
If there are specific resources / forms / calculators / etc. out there that you'd like to see implemented as snippets, please share links with us.

Also, please consider scheduling time with Andrew (andrew@blaze.today) - he can help you get started.
