... Running head: AVOIDING THE UNINSURED Avoiding the Uninsured How City Hospitals are Giving Up on the Poor Gerard Molnar Keller Graduate School of Management Health Service Systems HS541 Dr. Nancy Borkowski February 21, 2010 Avoiding the Uninsured 2. How City Hospitals are Giving Up on the Poor On a sunny, unseasonably warm autumn day in September of 2008, twelve individuals, seven women, five men picked up a dozen shovels in a field in New Lenox, IL and drove them into the ground. Thus the $400 million 289-bed state-of-the-art Silver Cross replacement hospital at Route 6 and Clinton Road was born. Silver Cross Hospital has, in fact been around since 1892 in nearby Joliet just five miles north up Interstate 55. At the ceremony, Dr. Daniel Gutierrez, Chairman of the Silver Cross Board of Directors used the original shovel that broke ground for the current hospital back in 1892 and in doing so he mixed Joliet soil with that of New Lenox soil forever linking the hospital’s past with that of its future (Village of New Lenox, 2008). So why would you, after serving a community for 118 years, suddenly pack up and move only five miles down the road? All the officials at the groundbreaking ceremony that day said all the right things. Silver Cross President and CEO Paul Pawlak said, Not many hospitals have the opportunity to build a brand new facility, but Silver Cross is not like other hospitals. The culture of Silver Cross is the spirit of “can do” and this is the spirit...

Small areas of open desert are on either side of the retirement community. Adjacent to the retirement community are newer housing developments with retired residents, but is not a designated retirement community. This is both a geopolitical and phenomenological community. The geopolitical factors in the community are human made legal boundaries and retired people 55 years and older. “Geopolitical communities are formed by either natural or human-made boundaries. Human-made boundaries may be structural, political, or legal” (Smith, 2009, p. 400). This is also a phenomenological community because there are shared values within the group. “A sense of place emerges through the members' awareness of their experiences together. People in a phenomenological community have a group perspective that differentiates them from other groups” (Smith, 2009, p. 400). The people who live in this community share the same generation values, and have activities that caters to their age bracket. Additionally, they are all bound by the common goals of keeping their community safe and clean...

She was the younger of two children. Nightingale's affluent British family belonged to elite social circles. Her mother, Frances Nightingale, hailed from a family of merchants and took pride in socializing with people of prominent social standing. Despite her mother's interest in social climbing, Florence herself was reportedly awkward in social situations. She preferred to avoid being the center of attention whenever possible. Strong-willed, Florence often butted heads with her mother, whom she viewed as overly controlling. Still, like many daughters, she was eager to please her mother. "I think I am got something more good-natured and complying," Florence wrote in her own defense, concerning the mother-daughter relationship. Early life Embley Park, now a school, was one of the family homes of William Nightingale. Young Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May 1820 into a rich, upper-class, well-connected British family at the Villa Colombaia...

Bartona* and Sarah J. Leonardb a b Downloaded By: [University at Buffalo, the State University of New York (SUNY)] At: 06:29 3 November 2010 Social Sciences, Delta State University, DSU Box 3264, Cleveland MS 38733, USA; The College Board, Chicago, USA Tourism can serve as a vehicle for sustainable community development by contributing to equity and social justice. This happens as tourists learn about marginal groups through educational tourism, engage in development projects with host-area residents, undertake pilgrimages that bring greater meaning and cohesiveness to an ethnic identity, or encounter stories that transform their view of social injustice and spur further action to reduce inequities. Tourism planning can produce a sense of reconciliation when it brings historically divided groups together. An example is found in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, where a group of white and African American residents are collaborating to develop tourism projects designed around a narrative of reconciliation, while they use the process of tourism planning to work towards racial reconciliation within their community. This case illustrates strategies tourism planners employ and challenges they face when they envision tourism as more than merely a means of economic growth...

...GMOs, They’re Killing Me! Recently someone said that 70% of the foods sold from our grocery store shelves contain Genetically Modified Organisms. This is extremely alarming because GMOs are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations cannot occur in nature or in traditional cross breeding (“Non GMO Project”). Obesity, chronic disease, and food allergies have skyrocketed in the United States over the past two decades. Many people think it is due to poor eating and exercise habits. While a portion of this may be true, the more logical explanation is the fact that corporations have altered the food supply in a way that is harmful to the human body. GMO crops adversely affect human health. Numerous studies have been done recently and even more are currently being conducted around the globe. These studies illustrate the correlation between the introduction of GMOs into the food supply and the increase in health issues. This is such an important issue to literally every human being on the planet. Not all countries are addressing the issue in the same manner. It is crucial to know what the United States is doing as compared to other industrialized nations around the world. There were several reasons that corporations began altering the DNA of seeds. One of those reasons was that GMOs were supposed to reduce the amount of pesticides necessary to keep weeds under control. The...
