Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Tuesday an $864 million plan to revamp the University of Connecticut Health Center and John

Dempsey Hospital in Farmington.Malloy’s proposal stressed the importance of using the renovations to the hospital to make Connecticut a new leader in the bioscience industry, helping generate more jobs in Connecticut.“It’s not just a medical and dental school or just a hospital – we have to think about the campus in its entirety and its potential to help Connecticut become a leader in a bioscience economy,” Malloy said in a press release.The plan includes 3,000 construction jobs starting in 2012 until 2018 and is expected to bring in an additional $4.6 billion in personal income by 2037 with the creation of 16,400 jobs.“In addition, the way in which this proposal is structured will ensure that we’re not waiting 5, 10, or 15 years to see a return on our investment – construction jobs will be created as soon as the new tower and parking facility will be built, an expanded medical and dental school class will follow that, and further economic growth and public health innovation will continue,” Malloy said.

Heartland Regional Medical Center, located in St. Joseph, Mo., is ratcheting up its mobile integration strategy with the implementation of Voalté’s iPhone solution,

which shifts the hospital’s disparate systems onto a single communication platform.Sarasota, Fla.-based Voalté made news earlier this year when it partnered with Rauland-Borg Corp.—an industry leader in outfitting hospitals with nurse call systems—just before signing Texas Children’s Hospital to an agreement that called for Voalté to consolidate the hospital’s voice, alarms and text messaging on the iPhone platform. By partnering with Heartland Regional, the company will enable caregivers at the medical center to make high-definition VoIP calls, receive critical alarms, and send and receive presence-based text messages on the iPhone. This deployment includes integrations to the hospital’s Siemens PBX, GE Dukane nurse call system, and Cerner ADT alarms through Philips’ Emergin Enterprise Service Bus over its Cisco wireless network. As Mobile Enterprise reports: “Streamlined and simplified communications allows nurses to focus on providing care and service. 
“According to Julia Jacobs, a registered nurse at Heartland, texting another clinician is much easier for the nurses than roaming from room to room or having them paged overhead, which often disturbs patients who are resting.”

LONG BRANCH, NJ – Monmouth Medical Center recently opened the Gamma Knife Center offering Leksell Gamma Knife, a high-tech non-invasive brain surgery tool, to treat conditions previously considered inaccessible or inoperable.  The addition of this new technology to Monmouth Medical Center?s radiosurgery program, which also includes TomoTherapy, makes Monmouth a regional leader in the treatment of benign and malignant tumors as well as functional brain disorders.

Monmouth Medical Center is also the only hospital in Monmouth and Ocean Counties to offer Gamma Knife.The Gamma Knife is not a knife, but a highly developed treatment system that directs multiple beams of gamma radiation, to converge, with pinpoint accuracy, on a targeted abnormality within the brain.  The Gamma Knife?s precision makes it appropriate for both pediatric and adult patients. Supported by well-documented research, evaluation and clinical use, Gamma Knife surgery is ideal for treating deep-seated brain tumors, functional and neurological disorders and vascular malformations.According to neurosurgeon Ty J. Olson, M.D., Co-Medical Director of the Gamma Knife Center at Monmouth Medical Center, ?Gamma Knife is the gold standard for non-invasive treatment of brain disorders and brain metastases.?   ?The accuracy of Gamma Knife surgery is unmatched and offers the precision of ?painting? with a fine brush,? he explains.   ?There is no incision, no blood and is virtually painless.  Even with microsurgery, patients undergoing a craniotomy can expect to spend several days in the hospital and some time for recovery,? said Dr. Olson.   ?Non-invasive Gamma Knife surgery is completed in a matter of hours.  Patients generally go home the same day, resuming normal activity immediately.?

Now that I’m 3 race reports behind, here’s a quick recap of the Medical Center 6k (results) in Nashua, NH from last weekend.  This was the 3rd race in the 2011 USATF-NE Grand Prix and we (CMS) had a loaded team ready for action.  After our 10k victory the previous week, we were back to try to defend our win and stay ahead in the overall GP standings.

I ran this race one time previously, back in 2008, when it was the Grand Prix ‘wild card’ race (as the 6k distance is quite unusual). Because it is (to my knowledge) one of, if not the only ’6′k road race in the state of NH, I have the very unimpressive NH State Record for a 6k for a 31 year old NH runner (from that race in 2008).  My 31-year-old time is still safe for at least another year, as nobody from NH (who was 31) ran faster this year.  Both Justin Freeman and myself destroyed the previous record for a 34 year old, this year, but only he gets his name in lights  See all the NH state age group records here.  See the overall records for 6k (and other events) here.  Currently, I have the 4th fastest time ever for a NH resident in a 6k in NH.  I trail Casey Moulton, Wilson Perez, and Justin Freeman.  I am one place ahead of teammate Kevin Tilton. Great company to be in for sure.  All 5 of us and every other person on the performance list have run their 6k time at the Medical Center race.  It’s a little funny because it is not particularly a fast course.  There are a few rolling spots and a decent climb during the second mile.
We had a great, large crew toe the line in our newly screened Asics singlets and I was rocking my new favorite road kicks (the Inov-8 bare-X lite 150s).  As the gun went off, the usual suspects darted out ahead and I focused very intensely on staying in front of the many good Whirlaway runners who were right with me.  I knew that Whirlaway was going to be the team we needed to outrun today, as BAA was again, non-existent in the team category.  Bob Wiles headed out with Justin Freeman, Matt Ely, a late surging Dan Vassallo, and some RUN guys.  I settled into 7th or so place and eventually was able to move into 6th (passing Ben Ndaya) and kept relatively close as the course moves up a couple of decent climbs over the first 1.5 miles.  I was very focused on trying to stay in front of the Whirlaway guys but knew Pat Ard, Brandon Newbould, and a few others would be right there.  I could see them out of the corner of my eye for much of the first mile and just tried to stay a step ahead.
