Barby,

Dr. Jackson has been helping me plan a community screening event with
the UH
Heart and Vascular Institute (see details below). We are in the
process of
gathering people to help staff the event. Robin Rowell and Diane
Gorbey
(cc'd on this email) have been recruiting nurses to assist with the
cholesterol and blood pressure screening. I was hoping the UH
Minority
Nurses Association might be able to assist us in staffing this
event. I
have asked Diane to touch base with you to give you more specifics.

Thanks,
Brandon Atkins

Dr. Jackson, can I ask that your office circulate this to the minority
faculty. Again, I appreciate all of your and Dr. Wright's assistance
and
support in helping me and the CV division plan this event.


Dear Colleague,

On Sunday June 24th the University Hospitals' Heart and Vascular
Institute
in association with the American Heart Association, Cleveland Medical
Association, and Astra Zeneca will be holding an all day blood
pressure,
cholesterol, and glucose screening event at the Word Church Multiplex
in
Warrensville Heights. This is a major undertaking as we anticipate
that
over the 8 hour period we will screen over 1000 people. We need
physicians
to serve as educators/counselors explaining results to participants
(i.e.
very basic stuff "HDL is your good cholesterol, LDL is your bad
cholesterol...." etc.-we will pass out basic guidelines at the
event). We
are asking for individuals to volunteer 2 hours of time. Please mark
with
an X the 2 shifts you are available to cover and return via email
back to
brandon.atkins@...
