“Domestic Terrorism: Implications for Healthcare Providers” was the subject of a timely symposium sponsored by the Departments of Nursing Service and Anesthesia, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The program covered a range of topics and concerns centering on “the unthinkable” – an act of terrorism directed at or affecting healthcare institutions and personnel. More than 150 attendees filled McClellan Hall from a range of professional sectors including emergency medicine technicians, fire departments, housing agencies, paramedics, nurses, physicians, and the Army, Navy and Coast Guard. Delivering the keynote address was United States Representative Curt Weldon, at left, who spoke on “Domestic Terrorism: Here and Now.” Much of his knowledge and expertise on the topic come from his Congressional work as a senior member of the House National Security Committee, Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee and member of the Military Readiness Subcommittee. From his left are Reginald W. Brinson, President, Tri-County Volunteer First Aid, Philadelphia; Barbara D. Schraeder, RN, PhD, Vice President, Education, Research and Special Projects, Nursing Service; Arthur D.

A Chinese New Year celebration ringing in “The Year of the Dragon,” began at Jefferson University Hospital with the traditional Chinese Lion Dance, depicting the fierce lion with a brightly colored, oversized and menacing head, performed by students from the Cheung Shu-Pui Kung Fu Academy. Students from the third through eighth grades at Holy Redeemer Chinese Catholic School, 10th and Vine streets, wearing brilliantly colored traditional Chinese costumes, performed the traditional Umbrella and Ribbon dances. The celebration was sponsored by the Hospital’s Chinese Health Information Center.
