Leading by example, Estelle Richman, Commissioner,
Philadelphia Department of Public Health, receives her flu shot from Jefferson’s
Aimee Girod, RN, a student in the RN-BSN program and employee of Jefferson Pulmonary
Associates, as part of “Operation Seed,” a pilot program designed to increase
the number of state workers who receive influenza immunizations. The program was a
cooperative effort between Jefferson nursing students, who administered the shots as a
clinical project for their course in Community Health Nursing, and Mercy Care Mobile
Health, who supplied the influenza vaccine. In a two-week period in October, more than 600
state employees received flu shots at 11 sites around the city from 25 Jefferson nursing
students. Robert Neroni Photography
Ernst & Young LLP celebrated the opening of
Jefferson’s Center for Integrative Medicine by generously providing $25,000 to serve
as the Event Title Sponsor of “An Evening with Loretta LaRoche.” This special
event was Jefferson’s gift to the community, and featured Ms. LaRoche, second from
left, a well-known lecturer on the topic of using humor to manage stress. At left, Ira
Brind, a Trustee of Thomas Jefferson University and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, and his wife Myrna, third from left, were among
those instrumental to the evening’s success. Under the guidance of Steven Rosenzweig,
MD, at right, Clinical and Academic Director of the Center and Clinical Associate
Professor of Emergency Medicine at Jefferson Medical College, the Center is dedicated to
integrating the best of medical science with promising alternative therapies in order to
support the health and wellness of the community. Robert Neroni Photography
College of Graduate Studies (CGS) student Michelle Ottey
helps guide Villanova Summer Research Institute student Justin D. Wilson, a senior at St.
Augustine High School, New Orleans, Louisiana, to oncology sites on the World Wide Web.
The setting is an oncology research laboratory in the Kimmel Cancer Center. Looking on is
Kay Huebner, PhD, Professor, Microbiology and Immunology, CGS. Earlier, Dr. Huebner had
briefed student participants as to how cancer cells develop and spread. The
Villanova-based-HHMI-NSF Summer Research Institute provides encouragement and preparation
for students from many different states to pursue careers in science and mathematics
through summer coursework, workshops and site visits. Justin Wilson hopes to pursue a
career as either a physician or biomedical engineer. The initiative is sponsored by the
Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). This
campus visit for the 62 participating students and 12 high school teachers was sponsored
by the College of Graduate Studies. Don Walker Photography
